Column section
A spaced column is being employed and will require end and intermediate packs in accordance with clauses 15.9.1 and
15.9.2.
Screwed or bolted connections will be used to transfer the shear forces derived below.
End packs - should be of such length to transfer the following shear force in accordance with clause 15.9.1.1
E = 1.3*A*b* /(N *a*1000)
pv capp s
= 1.3*13100*75*0.763/(2*100*1000)
= 4.88 kN
The pack length should not be less than 450 mm.
Intermediate packs - should be at least 230mm long and transfer a shear force of not less than 2.44 kN.
Intermediate packs are required at 638 mm centres
The slenderness ratio, modified by factor K ( 1.02 ) for the wet exposure condition, for the x-x axis is
1
= L /(i *K )
x ex xx 1
= 3000/(50.5*1.02)
= 58.2
and the slenderness ratio, modified by factor K ( 1.02 ) for the wet exposure condition, for the y-y axis is
1
= L /(i *K )
y ey yy 1
= 3000/(54.5*1.02)
= 54.0
- modification factors
- for wet exposure K = 0.6

- for load duration, long K =1
3
- non-load sharing system K =1

The required sectional area of the column should be determined from the lowest permissible stress calculated in accordance
with clause 15.10, for the following cases
(b) Single shaft with effective length equal to the spacing of the packing pieces
The effective length of the single shaft, pack = 638 mm and the minimum radius of gyration for the single shaft is
cc
si = 21.7 mm
yy
giving the slenderness ratio of the single shaft, modified by factor K ( 1.02 ) for the wet exposure condition, as
1
= pack /(si *K )
yy cc yy 1
= 638/(21.7*1.02)
= 28.8
(c) Compound column bending about the y-y axis, with the effectivelength modified by factor K13
With case (c) providing the minimum allowable stress, the required cross sectional area of the column, modified by factor K (
1
1.04 ) for the wet exposure condition, is
A = N*103/( *K )
reqd cpaall 1
= 20*103/(1.91*1.04)
= 10068 mm2
The sectional area of the composite column chosen is 26200 mm^2, which is not exceeded by that required, SECTION OK.
