COLUMN
&FOOTING
Column
Columns are vertical compression members
of a structural frame intended to support the
load-carrying beams. They transmit loads
from the upper floors to the lower levels and
then to the soil through the foundations.
Usually columns carry bending moment as
well, about one or both axes of the cross
section, and the bending action may produce
tensile forces over a part of the cross section
Reinforcement are provided in order to
reduce the size of the column
TRANSVERSE REINFORCEMENT
In order to maintain the position of longitudinal
reinforcement and also to prevent their buckling which
may cause splitting of concrete. It is also assist
confining the concrete
The diameter of transverse reinforcement shall not be
less than 1/4th dia. of main bar in no case less than 5mm
The spacing of lateral ties
the least lateral dimension of the column/16times the
dia. Of main bars
max spacing is 300mm
