AXIALLY LOADED

COLUMNS
(TIED COLUMNS)

REPORTER:
Maia Oschelle S. Andallon
AXIALLY LOADED COLUMNS

These are columns subjected to loads acting along the


longitudinal axis or centroid of the column section.

FORMULAS
Theoretical ultimate strength or nominal strength of a short
axially loaded column:

Where,
Ag – gross concrete area
Ast – total cross-sectional area of longitudinal reinforcement

3
FORMULAS
In today’s code, to account for the effects of eccentricity in the applied
load, the theoretical axial capacity or the nominal strength must be
multiplied by a factor sometimes called α, which is 0.85 for spiral
columns and 0.80 for tied columns.

Note: the expression above is to be used only when the moment is quite
small or there is no calculated moment.

EXAMPLE PROBLEM 1
Design a square tied column to support an axial dead load D of 580 kN and an axial
live load L of 800 kN. Initially assume that 2% longitudinal steel is desired, f’c = 28
MPa, and fy = 414 MPa.
Given:
D = 580 kN f’c = 28 MPa
L = 800 kN fy = 414 MPa
Ast = 0.02Ag SELECTING COLUMN DIMENSIONS
SOLUTION ΦPn(max) = 0.80Φ[0.85f ’c(Ag – Ast) + fyAst]
Pu = 1.2D + 1.6L Pu = ΦPn
Pu = 1.2(580) + 1.6(800) = 1976 kN 1976x10^3 = (0.80)(0.65)[(0.85)(28)(Ag – 0.02Ag) + (414)(0.02Ag)
Ag = 120 237.9 mm^2

Use 350 mm x 350 mm


Ag = 122 500 mm^2 > 120 237.9 mm^2 OK! 5
SELECTING LONGITUDINAL BARS

1976x10^3 = (0.80)(0.65)[(0.85)(28)(122500 – Ast) + (414)(Ast)]


Ast = 2266.8 mm^2
Try #22 bars
n = = = 5.8 say 6
Use 6 #22 bars
Ast = 2327.7 mm^2 > 2266.8^2 OK!
DESIGN OF TIES (Assuming #10 Bars)
Spacing:
(a) 16 x 22.225 mm = 355.6 mm
(b) 48 x 9.525 mm = 475.2 mm
(c) Least dimension = 350 mm
Use #10 ties @ 350 mm 6
CHECK CODE REQUIREMENTS
Longitudinal bar clear spacing = mm – 22.225 mm = 82.775 mm > 25 mm and dia.(bar) of
22.225 mm OK
Steel Percentage
0.01 ≤ ρ ≤ 0.08
0.01 ≤ ρ = 2327.7 mm^2 / (350 mm )(350 mm) = 0.019 ≤ 0.08 OK
Number of Bars = 6 > min. no. of 4 OK
DRAW THE DESIGN 6 #22 bars

#10 ties @ 350 210 mm 350 mm


mm o. c.
