Columns Question 1:
All columns shall be designed for minimum eccentricity l/500 + d/30 = 20 mm. Where,
l = ________
d = ________Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 1 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Minimum eccentricity to be considered along a lateral dimension as per Clause 25.4 of IS 456:2000 is equal to the unsupported length of columns/500 plus lateral dimension/30, subject to a minimum of 20 mm.
Minimum eccentricities:
\({e_{\;x\;min}} = {\rm{max}}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{{\ell _x}}}{{500}} + \frac{D}{{30}}}\\ {20\;mm} \end{array}} \right.\)
\({e_{y\;min}} = {\rm{max}}\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}} {\frac{{{\ell _y}}}{{500}} + \frac{b}{{30}}}\\ {20\;mm} \end{array}} \right.\)
ℓx, ℓy = Unsupported length of column
D and b = lateral dimension of the column
Columns Question 2:
A short axially loaded square column 500 mm × 500 mm is subjected to service load of 2000 kN. Calculate the ultimate load and minimum area of longitudinal reinforcement as per IS 456:2000
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 2 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Given data:
Width of square column (b) = 500 mm
Service load (P) = 2000 kN
Ultimate load (Pu) =?
The minimum area of longitudinal reinforcement (Astmin) = ?
As per IS 456:2000 for the short axially loaded columns -
The minimum area of longitudinal reinforcement or steel (Astmin)
= 0.8% of the gross area of the column
The minimum area of longitudinal reinforcement or steel (Astmin)
= \({0.8\over 100}× 500^2 \)
The minimum area of longitudinal reinforcement or steel (Astmin)
= 2000 mm2
\(Ultimate\, load\,(P_u)=FOS× Service\, load\,(P)\)
Where FOS = Factor of safety = 1.5
Ultimate load (Pu) = 1.5 × 2000 = 3000 kN
Ultimate load (Pu) = 3000 kN
Columns Question 3:
A short column 300 mm × 300 mm is reinforced with 4 bars of 20mm dia. (Fe–415 grade). If concrete is M-20 grade, the max. axial load Pu (kN) allowed on it is:
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 3 Detailed Solution
Concepts:
The ultimate load-carrying capacity of short column is given by:
Pu = 0.40fckAc+0.67fyAsc
Where
Ac= Gross area of cross-section (Ag) – Steel area (Asc)
fck = Characteristic compressive strength of concrete
fy = Yield Strength of Steel
Calculation:
Given:
Size: 300 × 300 mm; 4 bars of dia 20 mm; Fe-415 and M20
For Fe 415 Grade; fy = 415 MPa
For M20 Grade: fck = 20 MPa
Asc=4 × π/4 × 20 × 20=1256.64 mm2
Ag = 300 × 300 = 90000 mm2
Ac = Ag - Asc
Ac = 90000 – 1256.64 = 88743.36 mm2
The axial load carrying capacity of column is given as:
Pu = 0.40 × 20 × 88743.36 + 0.67 × 415 × 1256.64
Pu = 1059.56 kN
Columns Question 4:
The diameter of transverse reinforcement of columns should be equal to one-fourth of the diameter of the main steel rods but not less than
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 4 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
As per IS 456:2000, the design of transverse reinforcement is as:
The diameter of transverse reinforcement:
i) \(\rm{\frac{1}{4}{\phi _{main}}}\)
ii) 6 mm
whichever is maximum,
The spacing of Transverse reinforcement:
i) Least lateral dimension
ii) 16 times diameter of main reinforcement bar
iii) 300 mm
Columns Question 5:
Determine the minimum and maximum longitudinal reinforcement for a square column of size 300 mm × 300 mm having a clear cover of 25 mm.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 5 Detailed Solution
Concept:
According to Clause 26.5.3 of IS 456: 2000 the cross-sectional area of longitudinal reinforcement in a column shall not be less than 0.8 % nor more than 6 % of the gross c/s area of the column.
Calculation:
Given: Gross c/s area = 300 × 300 mm2 = 90000 mm2
Minimum reinforcement = \(90000 \times \dfrac{0.8}{100} \) = 720 mm2
Maximum reinforcement = \(90000 \times \dfrac{6}{100}\) = 5400 mm2
Important Points
- Maximum area of tension reinforcement = 0.04 bD [b = width of the beam, D = Depth of the beam]
- The minimum area of tension reinforcement shall not be less than = \(\dfrac{0.85 \times b D}{f_y}\) [fy = characteristic tensile strength of reinforcement]
- Side face reinforcement shall not be less than 0.1% of the web area for deep beams
Columns Question 6:
An RCC column of 4 m length is rigidly connected to the slab and to the foundation. Its cross-section is (400 × 400) mm2. The column will behave as a/an
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 6 Detailed Solution
Concept:
The column is classified based on its slenderness ratio
Slenderness ratio, \( λ= \frac{{{{\text{L}}_{{\text{eff}}}}}}{{{\text{Least lateral dimension}}}}\)
λ ≤ 3 for Pedestal
3 < λ < 12 for short column
12 ≤ λ for long column
Calculation:
Unsupported length, lo = 4m
Since RCC column is rigidly held on both sides, so it behaves like a fixed column:
Effective length, leff = 0.65 lo
\({l_{eff}} = 0.65 \times 4 = 2.6\;m\)
Slenderness Ratio, λ = leff/least lateral dimension
\( λ = \frac{{2600}}{{400}} = 6.5\)
∴ Slenderness ratio (λ) < 12, so it behaves as a short RCC column.
Columns Question 7:
Polygonal rings are used for lateral reinforcement in the columns. What is the maximum number of sides this polygonal ring can have?
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 7 Detailed Solution
Explanation:
Transverse reinforcing bars are provided in forms of circular rings, polygonal links (lateral ties) with internal angles not exceeding 135o or helical reinforcement.
The transverse reinforcing bars are provided to ensure that every longitudinal bar nearest to the compression face has effective lateral support against buckling. Clause 26.5.3.2 stipulates the guidelines of the arrangement of transverse reinforcement. The salient points are:
Transverse reinforcement shall only go round corner and alternate bars if the longitudinal bars are not spaced more than 75 mm on either side
The maximum number of sides this polygonal ring can have is 8
Columns Question 8:
The diameter of longitudinal bars of an RC column should not be less than

Columns Question 8 Detailed Solution
As per IS 456: 2000, clause 26.5.3.1,
Longitudinal reinforcement in a column:

The cross-sectional area of longitudinal reinforcement shall be not less than 0.8 percent nor more than 6 percent of the gross cross-sectional area of the column.
Minimum diameter of longitudinal reinforcement bars:
The main longitudinal reinforcement bars used in the column shall not be less than 12 mm in diameter.
Minimum number of longitudinal bar:
The minimum number of the longitudinal bar provided in column shall be
a) Four in rectangular columns
b) Six in circular columns

Columns Question 10:
A rectangular column 300 mm × 300 mm size and 5 m long is restrained in position and direction at both ends. The recommended value of it's effective length is______.
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Columns Question 10 Detailed Solution
Concept:
As per IS 456: 2000, Table 28
The recommended value of the effective length of the column effectively held in position and restrained in directions (or against rotation) at both ends is 0.65 times the length of the column.
Calculation:
Given data:
Rectangular column size = 300 mm × 300 mm
Length of column (L) = 5 m
The effective length of a given column (Leff) = 0.65 × L
The effective length of a given column (Leff) = 0.65 × 5 = 3.25 m
The effective length of a given column (Leff) = 3.25 m
The effective length of the column is 3.25 m.
