d) Calculate the first story column axial load capacity using 8-#11. Verify that the column size and reinforcement satisfy the design strength requirement: Pu<ØPn. Material Properties: fc'= 5 ksi, (concrete compressive strength) fy= 60 ksi (steel yield strength) e) Determine the number and size of minimum required vertical bars at third story. Note that reinforcing bar cages are typically fabricated two stories tall. That is, the first and second stories have the same reinforcing bars, and the third and fourth stories have the same reinforcing bars. Since the same size column is used at all stories, for construction economy, the vertical reinforcing bars may be reduced as the factored load demand reduces at the upper stories.

Transcribed Image Text:d) Calculate the first story column axial load capacity using 8-#11. Verify that the column size and reinforcement satisfy
the design strength requirement: Pu<ØPn.
Material Properties:
fc'= 5 ksi, (concrete compressive strength)
fy= 60 ksi (steel yield strength)
e) Determine the number and size of minimum required vertical bars at third story. Note that reinforcing bar cages are
typically fabricated two stories tall. That is, the first and second stories have the same reinforcing bars, and the third
and fourth stories have the same reinforcing bars. Since the same size column is used at all stories, for construction
economy, the vertical reinforcing bars may be reduced as the factored load demand reduces at the upper stories.
Expert Solution

Step 1
Answer
(d) Calculation of axial load capacity of square column
We know that Axial load capacity is given by
= strength reduction factor
= 0.65 for tied column
Ag = gross section area
Ag = 18*18
Ag = 324 in2
Ast = area of steel for 8-#11
Ast = 12.50 in2 (from areas of groups of standard bars)
f'c = compressive strength of concrete
f'c = 5 ksi
fy = yield strength of steel
fy = 60 ksi
Substitute the values to get " "
= 1078.415 in2
" Axial load capacity of first storey column = 1078.415 in2 "
Step by step
