Preliminary Design of Column
In our plan elevation, we chose column which has maximum influence area of 20 m2
including the area of column. It is the intermediate column and carries maximum axial
load. The column of ground floor is designed and it has maximum axial load than above
all. We have considered maximum 3% of steel reinforcement. We consider M25 grade
mix and Fe500 bars in the column. Assume initial size as 600*600 mm2
Load Calculation:
Dead Load of Slab = 25*0.15*20 = 75 KN
= 1.5* 311.155
= 466.7325 KN
Pu = 0.4fck*Ac + 0.67*fy*Ast
5601*1000=0.4*25*0.97*Ag + 0.67*500*0.03*Ag(%steel = 3%, fck = 25MPa,
fy=500KN/m2)
Solving for Ag,
Ag = 283594.9367 mm2
D = ( Ag )0.5 = 532.536 mm
Hence, adopting 600mm x 600mm column size.
