Design of Non Slender Column To Eurocode 2

This document summarizes the design of a non-slender column according to Eurocode 2. It provides details of a 300mm square column with an axial load of 1500kN and moments of -40kNm and 45kNm at the top and bottom. It calculates the slenderness ratio and limiting slenderness ratio to determine that the column is not slender. It then calculates the design moments and determines that four 25mm diameter bars will provide sufficient reinforcement to resist the loads based on the material properties and dimensions provided. It also checks that the column satisfies requirements for biaxial bending.

The design of non slender column according to Eurocode 2 is discussed in this article. This
article guides the design procedures to be followed.

Brace Non-Slender Column Design

 Edge column
 300mm square column
 Axial Load 1500kN
 Moment at top -40kNm
 Moment at Bottom 45kNm
 fck 30N/mm2
 fyk 500N/mm2
 Nominal Cover 25mm
 Floor to Floor height 4250mm
 Depth of the beam supported by the column 450mm

Mtop                     = -40kNm


Mbottom             = 45kNm
NEd                      = 1500kN

Clear height        = 4250-450


                           = 3800mm
Effective length  = lo
                            = factor * l
Factor                  = 0.85 (concise Eurocode 2, Table 5.1. This may more conservative).
lo                         = 0.85* 3800
                            = 3230mm

Slenderness λ   = lo/i


i                       = radios of gyration  = h/√12

λ  = lo/( h/√12 )  = 3.46*lo/h = 3.46*3230/300 = 37.3

Limiting Slenderness λlim

λlim                     = 20ABC/√n

A                      = 0.7 if effective creep factor is unknown

B                      = 1.1 if mechanical reinforcement ratio is unknown          

C                      = 1.7 – rm = 1.7-Mo1/Mo2

Mo1  = -40kNm

Mo2                  = 45kNm  where lMo2l ≥ lMo1l


C                      = 1.7 – (-40/45) = 2.9

n                       = NEd / (Ac*fcd)

fcd                    = fck / 1.5 = (30/1.5)*0.85 = 17


                        
n                       = 1500*1000 / (300*300*17)= 0.98 

λlim                     = 20*0.7*1.1*2.9/√0.98  = 45.1 

λlim > λ hence, column is not slender.

Calculation of design moments

MEd                 = Max{Mo2, MoEd +M2, Mo1 + 0.5M2}

Mo2                 = Max {Mtop, Mbottom} + ei*NEd  = 45 + (3.23/400)*1500 ≥  Max(300/30,


20)*1500 = 57.1kNm  >  30kNm

Mo2                = Min{Mtop, Mbottom} + ei*NEd  = -40 + (3.23/400)*1500 ≥  Max(300/30,


20)*1500 = 27.9kNm

MoEd             = 0.6*Mo2+ 0.4*Mo1 ≥ 0.4*Mo2  = 0.6*57.1 + 0.4*(-27.9) ≥ 0.4*57.1  =


23.1 ≥ 22.84

M2                  = 0 , Column is not slender


MEd               = Max{Mo2, MoEd +M2, Mo1 + 0.5M2}= Max{57.1, 23.1 +0, -27.9 +
0.5*0} = 57.1kNm

MEd / [b*(h^2)*fck]  = (57.1*10^6) / [300*(300^2)*30] = 0.07                    

NEd / (b*h*fck)        = (1500*10^6) / (300*300*30 = 0.56


Assume 25mm diameter bars as main reinforcement and 10mm bars as shear links

d2                  = 25+10+25/2  = 47.5mm


d2/h                = 47.5 / 300    = 0.16

Note: d2/h = 0.20 chart is reffed to find the reinforcement area, but it is more conservative.
Interpolation can be used to find the exact value.

As*fyk / b*h*fck      = 0.24                    

As    = 0.24*300*300*30 / 500 = 1296mm2

Provides four 25mm bars (As Provided 1964mm2)

Check for Biaxial Bending


Further check is not required if 
0.5 ≤ ( λy/ λz) ≤  2.0 For rectangular column
and
0.2 ≥ (ey/heq)/(ez/beq) ≥ 5.0
Here λy and λz are slenderness ratios

λy is nearly equal to λz


Therefore,  λy/λz is nearly equal to one.
Hence, λy/λz < 2 and > 0.5 OK

ey/heq  =  (MEdz / NEd) / heq
ez/beq  =  (MEdy / NEd) / beq

(ey/heq)/(ez/beq) = MEdz / MEdy  Here h=b=heq=beq, column is square

MEdz  = 45kNm
MEdy  = 30kNm 

Minimum moment, see the calculation of Mo2 for the method of calculation note: Moments
due to imperfections need to be included only in the direction where they have the most
unfavorable effect – Concise Eurocode 2

(ey/heq)/(ez/beq) = 45/30
                                = 1.5 > 0.2 and < 5
Therefore Biaxial check is required.

(MEdz / MRdz)^a + (MEdy / MRdy)^a ≤  1

MEdz            = 45kNm
MEdy           = 30kNm

MRdz and MRdy are the moment resistance in the respective directions, corresponding to an


axial load NEd.

For symetric reinforcement section


MRdz            = MRdy

As Provided  = 1964mm2

As*fyk / b*h*fck      = 1964*500/(300*300*30) = 0.36


                            
NEd / (b*h*fck)        = 0.56 

From the chart d2/h =0.2 

MEd / [b*(h^2)*fck]   = 0.098

MEd                       = 0.098*300*300*300*30 = 79.38kNm                             

a                               = an exponent
a                               = 1.0 for NEd/NRd = 0.1
a                               = 1.5 for NEd/NRd = 0.7
NEd                          = 1500kN
NRd                          = Ac*fcd + As*fyd
NRd                          = 300*300*(0.85*30/1.5) + 1964*(500/1.15)  = 2383.9kN

NEd/NRd                = 1500/2383.9
                                 = 0.63
By interpolating
a                               = 1.44

(MEdz / MRdz)^a + (MEdy / MRdy)^a =  (45 / 79.39)^1.44 + (30 / 79.38)^1.44 = 0.69 <1


Hence, Check for biaxial bending is ok
Therefore, Provide four 25mm diameter bars.
