    Uploaded by

    Christian Acter
    The document provides information and solutions for designing columns and beams. For columns, it describes calculating points on a strength interaction diagram for a reinforced concrete column under concentric and eccentric loading. It also addresses minimum longitudinal bar requirements. For beams, it includes designing a T-beam floor system to resist given dead and live load moments. It defines what a beam is structurally and constructing a strength interaction diagram for an eccentrically loaded reinforced concrete column. The document concludes with designing slab reinforcement for a continuous one-way floor system to resist code-specified live and dead loads, summarizing the design with a sketch showing reinforcement details.

    DESIGN OF COLUMNS

    1. Construct the interaction diagram relating Pn to Mn for the building column shown in


    Figure. Bending will be about the axis a-a. Calculate specific coordinates for concentric
    loading (e = 0), for Pb, and at least three other points, well chosen, on the curve. Material
    strengths are f′c = 8000 psi and fy = 60,000 psi.

    SOLUTION:
    2. What is the minimum number of longitudinal bars provided in the rectangular
    column?
    a) 4
    b) 5
    c) 6
    d) 8

    Answer: a
    Explanation: According to IS 456-2000, clause 26.5.3, the minimum number of
    longitudinal bars to be provided is 4 for rectangular columns and the minimum
    number of longitudinal bars to be provided for circular columns is 6.

    3. A short rectangular reinforced concrete column shown in Figure is to be a part of a


    long-span rigid frame and will be subjected to high bending moments combined with
    relatively low axial loads, causing bending about the strong axis. Because of the high
    eccentricity, steel is placed unsymmetrically as shown, with three No. 14 (No. 43) bars
    near the tension face and two No. 11 (No. 36) bars near the compression face. Material
    strengths are f′c = 6 ksi and fy = 75 ksi. Construct the complete strength interaction
    diagram, plotting Pn vs. Mn, relating eccentricities to the plastic centroid of the column (not
    the geometric center).

    DESIGN OF BEAMS

    1. Design a T-Beam for the floor


    system. Thickness of slab is 75mm
    and width of web is 375mm with an
    effective depth of 600mm. The beam
    carries a dead load moment of
    270kN-m and a live load moment of
    460kN-m. it has a span of 5.4m and
    has a spacing center to center equal
    to 1.8m. fc’=20.7MPa,
    Fy=344.7MPa.
    2.  What is beam?
    a) structural member subjected to transverse loads
    b) structural member subjected to axial loads only
    c) structural member subjected to seismic loads only
    d) structural member subjected to transverse loads only

    Answer: a
    Explanation: Beam is a structural member subjected to transverse loads that is loads
    perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. The mode of deflection of beam is primarily by
    bending.

    3. A reinforced concrete building floor system consists of a continuous one-way


    slab built monolithically with its supporting beams as shown in cross section in
    the figure. Service live load will be 6kN/m 2 . Dead loads include a 0.5kN/m 2
    allowance for nonstructural lightweight concrete floor fill and surface and a
    0.5kN/m 2 allowance for suspended loads, plus the self-weight of the floor. Using
    ACI coefficients, calculate the design moments and shears and design the slab
    using a maximum tensile reinforcement ratio of 0.006. Use all straight bar
    reinforcement. One-half of the positive-moment bars will be discontinued where
    no longer required; the other halt' will be continued into the supporting beams
    as specified by the ACI Code. All negative steel will be discontinued at the same
    distance from the support face in each case. Summarize your design with a
    sketch showing concrete dimensions and size. spacing. and cutoff points for all
    reinforcement Material strengths are fy = 414 MPa and E = 21MPa.
