Assumptions:
(1) The general conditions of clause 3.8.1 are applicable.
(2) The section is symmetrically reinforced.
(3) The specified design axial loads include the self-weight of the column.
(4) The design axial loads are taken constant over the height of the column.

Design approach:
The column is designed using an iterative procedure:
(1) The column design charts are constructed.
(2) An area steel is chosen.
(3) The corresponding slenderness moments are calculated.
(4) The design axis and design ultimate moment is determined .
(5) The steel required for the design axial force and moment is read from
the relevant design chart.
(6) The procedure is repeated until the convergence of the area steel
about the design axis.
(7) The area steel perpendicular to the design axis is read from the relevant
design chart.

Check column slenderness:


End fixity and bracing for bending about the X-X axis:
At the top end: Condition 2 (partially fixed).
At the bottom end: Condition 3 (pinned).
The column is braced.
\ x = 0.95

Table 3.21

End fixity and bracing for bending about the Y-Y axis:
At the top end: Condition 2 (partially fixed).

Minimum Moments for Design:


Check for mininum eccentricity:
For bi-axial bending, it is only necessary to ensure that the eccentricity
exceeds the minimum about one axis at a time.

3.8.2.4

For the worst effect, apply the minimum eccentricity about the minor axis:

emin = 0.05 . d
= 0.05 .3
= 0.0150 m

Mmin = emin. N
= .015 20
= 0.3000 kNm

Check if the column is slender:

3.8.1.3

lx = 19.0 > 15
ly = 19.0 > 15
\ The column is slender.
Check slenderness limit:

3.8.1.7

Lo = 6.000 m < 60dia' = 18.000 m


\ Slenderness limit not exceeded.

Initial moments:
The initial end moments about the X-X axis:
M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 10.0 kNm
The initial moment near mid-height of the column :
Mi = - 0.4 . M1 + 0.6 . M2

= - 0.4 0 + 0.6 10
= 6.000 kNm

Mi2 = 0.4 . M2
= 0.4 10
= 4.000 kNm

\ Mi 0.4M2 = 6.0 kNm

Design of column section for ULS:


Through inspection:
The critical section lies at the top end of the column.
The column is bi-axially bent: the moments are therefore added vectorially
to obtain the final design moment:
