with six 25mm bars. Use fy = 345 MPa and f’c = 28 MPa.

Answers: 2001 NSCP; øP = 2,629 kN

2010 NSCP; øP = 2,441 kN

Problem 5.21

Design a square tied column to support an axial dead load of 900 kN and an axial live load of 1240
kN. Use fy = 414 MPa and f’c = 27.6 MPa. Assume 2% steel ratio and use 28mm main bars and 10 mm ties.

Problem 5.27

Design a square tied column to carry the following loads:

Axial Loads: Shear parallel to one side:
Dead Load = 1100 kN Dead Load = 120 kN
Live Load = 700 kN Live Load = 110 kN

Concrete strength f’c = 21 MPa. Use 25-mm-diameter longitudinal bars (fy = 415 MPa) and 12-mm-
diameter ties (fyb = 275 MPa). Clear protective covering is 35 mm. Use 2% steel ratio. Use 2001 NSCP.

Answer: 435 mm x 435 mm; eight 25-mm-bars, 142 mm tie spacing
