Sample Column Design

Symbols

Ac = Gross cross-section area of ​​the column
Ack = cross-sectional area of column measured to the outside edges of transverse reinforcement
Ash = total cross-sectional area of transverse reinforcement, including crossties, within spacing s and perpendicular to dimension, bk
bk = cross-sectional dimension of column core measured to the outside edges of the transverse reinforcement composing area Ash
bw = Width of the column in the direction of transverse reinforcement
fck = Specified compressive strength of concrete
fctd = Tensile design strength of concrete
fywk = Specified yield strength of the transverse reinforcement
Nd = Axial force calculated under the combined effect of vertical loads and earthquake loads factored by load combination
Ndm = defined for live loads in TS 498 Considering the live load reduction coefficients, G and Q joint effect of vertical loads and E earthquake effect G + Q + E , the largest axial pressure forces calculated under
s = Transverse reinforcement spacing, spiral / winding reinforcement pitch
ρ = Longitudinal reinforcement ratio
ϕ = Reinforcement diameter
E = Earthquake load effect
Q = Live load effect
G = Dead load effect
