This document discusses the design of columns. It begins by defining columns and classifying them as short or long based on their slenderness ratio. Columns can be reinforced with ties or a spiral. Equations are provided for calculating the nominal axial capacity of columns based on the concrete compressive strength and steel reinforcement area. Minimum requirements are specified for reinforcement ratios, number of bars, concrete cover, and lateral tie or spiral spacing. Spirally reinforced columns can develop higher strength due to concrete confinement by the spiral. Design of the spiral pitch is discussed based on providing equivalent confining pressure.

Behavior Of Castellated Composite Beam Subjected To Cyclic Loadsirjes
The purpose of this study is to determine the behavior of beam-column sub-assemblages castella
due to cyclic loading. Knowing these behaviors can if be analyzed the effectiveness of the concrete filler to
reduce the damage and improve capacity of beam castella. Test beam consists of beam castella fabricated from
normal beam (CB), castella beams with concrete filler between the flange (CCB) and normal beam (NB) as a
comparison. Results showed castella beam (CB) has the advantage to increase the flexural capacity and energy
absorption respectively 100.5% and 74.3%. Besides advantages, castella beam has the disadvantage that
lowering partial ductility and full ductility respectively 12.6 % and 18.1%, decrease resistance ratio 29.5 %
and accelerate the degradation rate of stiffness ratio 31.4%. By the concrete filler between the beam flange to
improve the ability of castella beam, then the beam castella have the ability to increase the flexural capacity of
184.78 %, 217.1% increase energy absorption, increase ductility partial and full ductility respectively 27.9 %
and 26 %, increases resistance ratio 52.5 % and slow the rate of degradation of the stiffness ratio 55.1 %..

Design of Columns
Introduction
According to ACI Code 2.2, a structural element with a ratio of height-to-least lateral dimension
exceeding three used primarily to support compressive loads is defined as column. Columns
support vertical loads from the floor and roof slabs and transfer these loads to the footings.
Columns usually support compressive loads with or without bending. Depending on the
magnitude of the bending moment and the axial force, column behavior will vary from pure beam
action to pure column action.
Columns are classified as short or long depending on their slenderness ratios. Short columns
usually fail when their materials are overstressed and long columns usually fail due to buckling
which produces secondary moments resulting from the ∆−P effect.
Columns are classified according to the way they are reinforced into tied and spirally reinforced
columns. Columns are usually reinforced with longitudinal and transverse reinforcement. When
this transverse reinforcement is in the form of ties, the column is called “tied”. If the transverse
reinforcement is in the form of helical hoops, the column is called “spirally reinforced”.
Since failure of columns often cause extensive damage, they are designed with a higher factor of
safety than beams.
Types of Columns
Columns are divided into three types according to the way they are reinforced.
Tied Columns
A tied column, shown in Figure 1, is a column in which the longitudinal reinforcement bars are
tied together with separate smaller diameter transverse bars (ties) spaced at some interval along
the column height. These ties help to hold the longitudinal reinforcement bars in place during
construction and ensure stability of these bars against local buckling. The cross sections of such
columns are usually square, rectangular, or circular in shape. A minimum of four bars is used in
rectangular and circular cross sections.
2. 2
Figure 1: Tied column
Spirally-Reinforced Columns
They are columns in which the longitudinal bars are arranged in a circle surrounded by a closely
spaced continuous spiral, shown in Figure 2. These columns are usually circular or square in
shape. A minimum of six bars is used for longitudinal reinforcement.
Figure 2: Spirally-reinforced column
Composite Columns
A composite column is a column made of structural steel shapes or pipes surrounded by or filled
by concrete with or without longitudinal reinforcement, shown in Figure 3.
3. 3
Figure 3:Composite column
Behavior of Tied and Spirally-Reinforced Columns
Axial loading tests have proven that tied and spirally reinforced columns having the same cross-
sectional areas of concrete and steel reinforcement behave in the same manner up to the ultimate
load, as shown in Figure 4.a. At that load tied columns fail suddenly due to excessive cracking in
the concrete section followed by buckling of the longitudinal reinforcement between ties within
the failure region, as shown in Figure 4.b.
(a)
4. 4
(b)
Figure 4: Failure of columns; (a) behavior of tied and spirally-
reinforced columns; (b) failure of columns
For spirally reinforced columns, once the ultimate load is reached, the concrete shell covering the
spiral starts to peel off. Only then, the spiral comes to action by providing a confining force to the
concrete core, thus enabling the column to sustain large deformations before final collapse occurs.

Strength Reduction Factors
According to ACI 9.3.2 strength reduction factors Φ for compression-controlled sections are
given as follows:
• Members with spiral reinforcement Φ = 0.75
5. 5
• Other reinforced members Φ = 0.65
The basic equation is given by
nu PP Φ≤ (1)
where
uP = factored axial load
Φ = strength reduction factor
nP = nominal axial load
Short Axially Loaded Columns
Figure 5: Uniaxial stress-strain curves for steel and concrete
When axial compressive loads are applied through the centroid of the cross section of a short
column, concrete and steel reinforcement are shortened by the same amount due to their
composite action. The ultimate load is attained when the reinforcement reaches its yield stress and
the concrete reaches its 28-day compressive strength simultaneously, shown in Figure 5.

gA = gross sectional area of column

cf ′ = concrete compressive strength at 28-days
Equation (3) yields larger values than those obtained from laboratory testing due to the better
quality of the tested concrete cylinders. Reducing the compressive strength in Equation (3) by 15
% gives results in close agreement with those obtained through testing schemes.
( ) yssgcno fAAAfP +−′= 85.0 (4)
The above equation is appropriate for determining axial load capacities of already designed
columns. Equation (4) could be modified to suit the process of designing columns through the
following substitution

To account for accidental eccentricity resulting from misalignment of reinforcement, voids in the
concrete section, unbalanced moments in the beam, or misalignment of columns from one floor to
another, ACI Code R10.3.6 and R10.3.7 reduce the strength of tied columns by 20 % and spirally
reinforced columns by 15 %.

Design of Spiral
Laboratory tests have proved that compressive strength of the concrete confined within a spiral is
increased due to the lateral pressure exerted on the concrete core by the spiral hoops, as shown in
Figure 6.

Figure 6: (a) Influence of lateral pressure 2f on the ultimate

where
1f = compressive strength of test cylinders in biaxial compression at 28-days.
cf ′ = compressive strength of test cylinders in uniaxial compression at 28-days.
2f = applied horizontal pressure.
The spiral is proportioned so that additional compressive strength provided by the confining
action of the spiral is equal to the strength provided by the spalled concrete shell covering the
spiral when the spiral is stressed to its yield. This is given by

Columns Subjected To Pure Axial Tension
The strength under pure axial tension is computed assuming that the section is completely
cracked and subjected to a uniform strain equal to, or less than yε . The axial capacity of the
concrete is ignored and the axial strength in tension is given by the following equation.
ysu fAP Φ= (18)
where Φ is the strength reduction factor for axial tension = 0.90, and sA is the area of column
reinforcement.
Design Considerations
Maximum and Minimum Reinforcement Ratios
ACI Code 10.9.1 specifies that a minimum reinforcement ratio of 1 % is to be used in tied or
spirally reinforced columns. This minimum reinforcement is needed to safeguard against any
bending, reduce the effect of shrinkage and creep and enhance ductility of columns. Maximum
reinforcement ratio is limited to 8 % for columns in general to avoid honeycombing of concrete.
For compression member with a cross section larger than required by consideration of loading,
ACI Code 10.8.4 permits the minimum area of steel reinforcement to be based on the gross
sectional area required by analysis. The reduced sectional area is not to be less than one half the
actual cross sectional dimensions. In regions of high seismic risk, ACI Code 10.8.4 is not
applicable.
10. 10
Minimum Number of Reinforcing Bars
ACI Code 10.9.2 specifies a minimum of four bars within rectangular or circular sections; or one
bar in each corner of the cross section for other shapes and a minimum of six bars in spirally
reinforced columns.
Clear Distance between Reinforcing Bars
ACI Code 7.6.3 and 7.6.4 specify that for tied or spirally reinforced columns, clear distance
between bars, shown in Figure 8, is not to be less than the larger of 1.50 times bar diameter or 4
cm. This is done to ensure free flow of concrete among reinforcing bars. The clear distance
limitations also apply to the clear distance between lap spliced bars and adjacent lap splices since
the maximum number of bars occurs at the splices.
Figure 8: Clear distance between bars
Concrete Protection Cover
ACI Code 7.7.1 specifies that for reinforced columns, the clear concrete cover is not to be taken
less than 4 cm for columns not exposed to weather or in contact with ground. It is essential for
protecting the reinforcement from corrosion or fire hazards.
Minimum Cross Sectional Dimensions
With the 1971 Code, minimum sizes for compression members were eliminated to allow wider
utilization of reinforced concrete compression members in smaller size and lightly loaded
structures, such as low-rise residential and light office buildings. When small sections are used,
there is a greater need for careful workmanship. For practical considerations, column dimensions
are taken as multiples of 5 cm.
Lateral Reinforcement
Ties are effective in restraining the longitudinal bars from buckling out through the surface of the
column, holding the reinforcement cage together during the construction process, confining the
concrete core and when columns are subjected to horizontal forces, they serve as shear
reinforcement. Spirals, on the other hand, serve in addition to these benefits in compensating for
the strength loss due to spalling of the outside concrete shell at ultimate column strength.
11. 11
Ties
According to ACI Code 7.10.5.1, for longitudinal bars 32 mm or smaller, lateral ties 10 mm in
diameter are used. In our country and in some neighboring countries, ties 8 mm in diameter are
used in column construction.
Tests have proven that spacing between ties has no significant effect on ultimate strength of
columns.
ACI Code 7.10.5.2 specifies that vertical spacing of ties is not to exceed the smallest of:
§ 16 times longitudinal bar diameter.
§ 48 times tie diameter.
§ Least cross sectional dimension.
ACI Code 7.10.5.3 specifies that ties are arranged in such a way that every corner and alternate
longitudinal bar is to have lateral support provided by the corner of a tie with an included angle of
not more than 135 degrees. Besides, no longitudinal bar is to be farther than 15 cm clear on each
side along the tie from such a laterally supported bar. When longitudinal bars are located around
the perimeter of a circle, circular ties are used. Figure 9.a shows a number of tie and spiral
arrangements.
13. 13
Spirals
According to ACI Code 7.10.4.2 spirals not less than 10 mm in diameter are to be used in cast-in-
place construction. The clear pitch of the spiral is not to be less than 2.5 cm and not more than 7.5
cm as dictated by ACI Code 7.10.4.3. The smaller limit is set to ensure flow of concrete between
spiral hoops while the larger limit is set to ensure effective confinement of concrete core. The
diameter of the spiral could be changed to ensure that the spacing lies within the specified limits.
Bundled Bars
For isolated situations requiring heavy concentration of reinforcement, bundles of standard bar
sizes can save space and reduce congestion for placement and compaction of concrete. Bundling
of parallel reinforcing bars in contact is permitted but only if ties enclose such bundles.
According to ACI Code 7.6.6, groups of parallel reinforcing bars bundled in contact to act as one
unit are limited to four in any one bundle, as shown in Figure 9.b.
Figure 9.b: Bundled bars
Column Reinforcement Details
When column offset are necessary, longitudinal bars may be bent subject to the following
limitations.
1. Slope of the inclined portion of an offset bar with axis of column must not exceed 1 in 6,
shown in Figure 10.
14. 14
Figure 10: Offset Bars
2. Portion of bar above and below the offset must be parallel to axis of column.
3. Horizontal support at offset bends must be provided by lateral ties, spirals, or parts of the
floor construction. Ties or spirals, if used, shall be placed not more than 15 cm from points of
bend. Horizontal support provided must be designed to resist 1.5 times the horizontal
component of the computed force in the inclined portion of an offset bar.
4. Offset bars must be bent before placement in the forms.
5. When a column face is offset 7.5 cm ,or more, longitudinal column bars parallel to and near
the face must not be offset bent. Separate dowels, lap spliced with the longitudinal bars
adjacent to the offset column faces, must be provided as shown in Figure 11. In some cases, a
column might be offset 7.5 cm or more on some faces, and less than 7.5 cm on the remaining
faces, which could possibly result in some offset bent longitudinal column bars and some
separate dowels being used in the same column.

Column Lateral Reinforcement
Ties
In tied reinforced concrete columns, ties must be located at no more than half a tie spacing above
the floor or footing and at no more than half a tie spacing below the lowest horizontal
reinforcement in the slab or drop panel above. If beams or brackets frame from four directions
into a column, ties may be terminated not more than 7.5 cm below the lowest horizontal
reinforcement in the shallowest of such beams or brackets, shown in Figure 12.
(a) (b)
Figure 12: Beams on all column faces
Spirals
Spiral reinforcement must extend from the top of footing or slab in any story to the level of the
lowest horizontal reinforcement in slabs, drop panels, or beams above. If beams or brackets do
not frame into all sides of the column, ties must extend above the top of the spiral to the bottom of
the slab or drop panel, shown in Figure 13.

Design Procedure for Short Axially Loaded Columns
1. Evaluate the factored axial load uP acting on the column.
2. Decide on a reinforcement ratio gρ that satisfies ACI Code limits. Usually a 1 % ratio is
chosen for economic considerations.
3. From equations (8) or (9) for tied and spirally reinforced columns respectively, determine the
gross sectional area gA of the concrete section.
4. Choose the dimensions of the cross section based on its shape. For rectangular sections, the
ratio of the longer to shorter side is recommended to not exceed 3.
5. Readjust the reinforcement ratio by substituting the actual cross sectional area in Equations
(8) or (9). This ratio has to fall within the specified code limits.
6. Calculate the needed area of longitudinal reinforcement ratio based on the adjusted reinforced
ratio and the chosen concrete dimensions.
7. From reinforcement tables, choose the number and diameters of needed reinforcing bars. For
rectangular sections, a minimum of four bars is needed, while a minimum of six bars is used
for circular columns.
8. Design the lateral reinforcement according to the type of column, either ties or spirals, as
explained in the previous sections of this chapter.
9. Check whether the spacing between longitudinal reinforcing bars satisfies ACI Code
requirements.
10. Draw the designed section showing concrete dimensions and with required longitudinal and
lateral reinforcement.
