X (in m) : Y (in m) :: 𝑃𝑢 𝑥 10 Φ𝛂 (0.85fc +ρ (fy−0.85fc) )

The document provides instructions for designing a reinforced concrete column given various input parameters such as applied load, material properties, column dimensions, and reinforcement properties. It outlines equations to calculate the factored load capacity of the column, optimal column dimensions, required steel reinforcement ratio and area, number of reinforcing bars, clear spacing between bars, and tie spacing. The design is iterated if the clear spacing is insufficient and the bar diameter is increased to achieve an acceptable spacing.

Input Applied Load, P (in kN): insert value

Input Properties of Materials


Concrete Compressive Strength, fc’ (in MPa): insert value
Steel Reinforcement Yield Strength, fy (in MPa): insert value
Unit Weight of Concrete, γc (in kN/m3): insert value
Input Assumptions for Column
Height of Column, h (in m): insert value
Initial Column Dimensions
X (in m): insert value
Y (in m): insert value
Is the Column Tied or Spiral? [“T” for Tied, “S” for Spiral]: answer question
Note:
Strength Reduction Factor, Φ = 0.65 for tied, 0.75 for spiral

Design Orientation Factor, α = 0.8 for tied, 0.85 for spiral


Assumption for Steel Ratio, ρ (Input Value from 0.01 to 0.08): insert value

System computes for Pu:


Pu = P + 1.2 (γc)(XY)h

Pu = Computed Value kN

System computes for correct column dimension

𝑃𝑢 𝑥 103
X =
Φ𝛂(0.85fc′ +ρ(fy−0.85fc′ ))
X = sqrt of X2

Square Column Dimension = Computed Value of X m


If/Else function sana dito  IF X is less than 200, X=200
Input Properties of Reinforcement
Diameter of Reinforcing Bars, dB (in mm): insert value
Diameter of Ties, dT (in mm): insert value

ρ Actual = Computed value for ρ


𝑃𝑢 𝑥 103
−0.85 𝑓𝑐 ′ 𝑋 2
𝛷𝛂
ρ=
𝑋 2 (𝑓𝑦−0.85𝑓𝑐 ′ )
If/Else function sana dito ulit  IF ρ is less than 0.01, ρ = 0.01
Tapos IF ρ is greater than 0.08, ρ = 0.08

Required area of Reinforcing Bars: Computed Value for As mm2


As = ρ X2
Round up sa whole number  Yung x ditto is from rounded up value ng
nacompute after ng Pu, yung divisisible by 25

No. of Bars: Computed Value for N


𝐴𝑠
N= 𝜋 dB yung diameter of reinforcing bars 
𝑑𝐵
4

Round up na divisible by 4 (Parang yung sa 25)  like 4, 8, 12, 16….


As naman is yung nasa taas lang na formula 

Clear Spacing: Computed Value for CS mm


𝑁
𝑋−2(40)−2(𝑑𝑇 )−( +1)(𝑑𝐵)
4
CS = 𝑁
+1
4

Remarks for clear spacing: [“Okay” or “Change Bar Diameter”]


=1.5 dB
=4/3(25)
=40
Okay if CS > maximum ng nasa taas
Change Bar Diameter if CS < maximum ng nasa taas

**Naka loop sana yung code ditto , kapag ‘Change Bar Diameter yung lalabs sa Remarks,
babalik ulit sa may Input Properties of Reinforcement. Magpo-proceed lang siya if nag “Okay”
na yung remarks**

Tie Spacing: Pinakamaliit na value sa tatlo: mm


=16dB
=48dT
=X

Column Design Summary


Column Dimension: Computed Value ng X
Reinforcing Bar Diameter: Yung latest value ng dB
Tie Spacing: Pinakamaliit ng nasa taas
