Column Design

This document provides design details for a 400mm square reinforced concrete column resisting a vertical load of 2000kN and a bending moment of 250kNm. Key details include main reinforcement of H25 bars, links of H8 bars, and a cover of 30mm. The column is 4m high and supports a 300mm thick slab on a 7.5m grid. Using the PD 6687 method, the design moment is determined to be 290kNm. Reinforcement is designed as 4 H25 bars with H8 links at 200mm spacing. Second order effects do not need to be considered due to the column's slenderness being below the limit.
