ASSIGNMENT # 5
(Due April 19, 2024)

1. A reinforced concrete column is subjected to an axial live load of 800 kN. The effective
as well as unsupported length of the column is 5 m, and its size and reinforcement
details are: b = 400 mm, D = 450 mm, and As = 1708 mm2 equally divided on the two
faces. The column is made of M20 concrete and Fe415 steel bars. Investigate what is the
maximum (uniaxial) bending moment that the column can resist under the wind load
condition with the same axial live load. Assume the effective cover to the reinforcement
as 45 mm.

2. A reinforced concrete column of 7 m effective length and 8 m unsupported length is


subjected to an axial live load of 600 kN and uniaxial bending moment of 300 kN-m
under the wind load condition. Design the column with its width not exceeding 300
mm, while using M20 concrete and Fe415 steel. The percentage of reinforcement is to
be kept within 1%.

3. Design the longitudinal steel for a 500×300 mm column with the factored loads, Pu =
1800 kN, Mux = 300 kN-m (for bending about the major axis), and Muy = 120 kN-m
(for bending about the minor axis). Assume that fck = 30 MPa, fy = 415 MPa, and
that the column is short with an unsupported length of 4 m in both directions.

4. A 400×400 mm braced column has an unsupported length of 8 m and effective length


of 5 m in both directions. It is loaded with the characteristic loads, P = 800 kN, Mxx
(top) = 40 kN-m, and Mxx (bottom) = 25 kN-m. Assuming the column to be bent in
double curvature, design the longitudinal steel in the column, if fck = 30 MPa and fy
= 415 MPa.
