MAXIMUM AXIAL LOAD (STAAD-Generated) DESIGN PARAMETERS
Pu = 2500 kN, Maximum Axial Load (Grid)
ρg = 0.02 Column Steel Ratio
f'c = 21 Mpa, Compressive Strength of Concrete
fy = 415 Mpa, Yield strength of Main bars
fyt = 275 Mpa, Yield strength of ties
dbT = 12 mm, Diameter of lateral ties
cc = 40 mm, Concrete cover
Ф= 0.65 Reduction factor
DESIGN PROCESS (NSCP-2015)
1. Express Ag in terms of Ast using the definition of Steel Ratio, ρg 3. From Eq.3, solve for the required Gross Area, Ag
2
Ag = 186395.235 mm
Ast = (Eq.1)
ρg 4. Calculate the width of a square-column,

2. Establish formula of Ultimate Load, Pu bw = 431.735 mm (or say) 450 mm


5. From Eq. 3, solve for the Steel Area, As, using the computed value of Ag
Pu = ՓPn =Փ(0.80Po) mm2
Ast = 3727.905

Pu = Փ(0.80)[0.85f′c(Ag−Ast)+ fy(Ast)] (Eq.2) 6. Select the Diameter of main reinforcing rebars to be used.
Diameter of Rebar (db) 16 20
3. Substitute Eq.1 into Eq.2 20 12
vs.

Pu = Փ(0.80)[0.85f′c( Ag −
ρg )+ fy( ρg )] (Eq.3)
