Q.3 An internal column on the ground floor of a multi-storey building is square, short and braced and supports dead load G = 600 kN and live load Q = 750 kN. The overall height of the column l. = 5 m and the effective height factor is 0.85 and feu = 30 N/mm2 and fy = 500 N/mm2. a) Assuming that the column supports an approximately symmetrical arrangement of beams determine: (i) A suitable cross-section for the column based on the criteria for short columns. (ii) The area of the longitudinal reinforcement; (iii) The size and spacing of the links. b) The ultimate axial load N computed in (a) is applied axially to the column. Design the longitudinal reinforcement and links for this load condition.

Q.3
An internal column on the ground floor of a multi-storey building is square, short and
braced and supports dead load Gk = 600 kN and live load Qk= 750 kN. The overall height
of the column / = 5 m and the effective height factor is 0.85 and feu = 30 N/mm2 and fy=
500 N/mm2.
a) Assuming that the column supports an approximately symmetrical arrangement of
beams determine:
(i) A suitable cross-section for the column based on the criteria for short columns.
(ii) The area of the longitudinal reinforcement;
(iii) The size and spacing of the links.
b) The ultimate axial load N computed in (a) is applied axially to the column. Design
the longitudinal reinforcement and links for this load condition.
