Introduction to Concrete Column Design Flow Charts
The Column Design Section in Strunet contains two main parts: Charts to develop develop strength strength inter i nteraction action diagrams diagrams for any given section, and ready -made -made Column Interaction Diagrams, for quick design of a given column. Concret Concrete e column co lumn is one of the most most i nteres teres ting ting members members in concrete concrete structu struct ural design application. A structural design of a concrete column is quite complicated procedures. Evaluation, however, of a given column section and reinforcement is straightfo straightforward rward process. This This is d ue to the the fact that pure axial compressio compression n is rarely the case in column analysis. Some value of moment is always there due to end end restrain restrai nt, or accidental accidental eccentricity due to out of alignment. alignment. AC I establis establish hed the the minimum minimum eccen ecce ntricity on a concrete column, regardle regardless ss of the struct ural analysis proposed for the column, which is defined as the maximum axial compression load that a column can be designed for. Column Design Charts in Bullets: One One of th t he demanding aspects in con co ncrete column col umn design design is to define define the controllin controlling g poi nts o n strength i nteraction teraction diagram. The The column co lumn strength strength interaction diagram is a curve plot of points; where each point has two ordinates. The first ordinate is bending moment strength and the second is the corresponding a xial force. force. Both ordi ordinat nates es are linked with eccentricity. ecce ntricity. The s hape of the curve, or the strength interaction diagram, can be defined by finding the ordinates of major seven points. Each point has specific requirement, as established established by the code, and thu t hus s evaluating evaluating th t he requirement requirement of this poin t will result of calculating the ordinates. The points and their respective requirements are as follows: • •

Point 1: Pure compression. Point 2: Maximum compression load permitted by code at zero eccentricity. Point 3: Maximum Maximum moment strengt strength h at the maximum a xial compression permitted by code. Point 4: Compression and moment at zero strain in the tension side reinforcement. Pont 5: Compr C ompression ession an a nd moment at 50% strai strain n in the tension side reinforcement. Point 6: Compression and moment at balanced conditions. Point 7: Pure tension.
