1. Design a round spiral column (determine dimensions, number
steel reinforcements, and pitch or spacing of spirals) to support an
axial dead load of 1200 kN and an axial live load of 1850 kN. Assume
that 2% longitudinal steel is desired, f’c = 27.6 MPa, and fy = 414 MPa.
Use 25 mm main reinforcement and 10 mm spiral with 30 mm clear
covering to ties.
NOTE: See Module 3.1 Pure Axial for code limitations on the spiral pitch
2. Design (determine dimensions, number steel reinforcements,
and pitch or spacing of spirals) a spiral column to carry a factored load
of 1900 kN and a factored moment of 24 kN-m such that it can be
analyzed as pure axial. Assume f’c = 27.6 MPa and fy =415 MPa.
Initially, 2.5% steel ratio is desired. Use 16 mm main reinforcement and
10 mm spiral with 30 mm clear covering to ties.
*NOTE: Diameter of column=h
3. (Past Board Exam Problem)
The section of a column is shown below. For this problem, b1=300mm,
b2=180mm, d1=250mm, d2=350mm. f'c=28 MPa, fy=414 MPa
