DETERMINATION OF COVER
Grade of concrete = 30 Cover < 35
Table 3.4 Exposure condition = Moderate
Table 3.5 Fire resistance = 1 hr Cover < 20
Clause 3.3.1.3 Nominal maximum size of aggregate = 20 mm Cover < 20
Clause 3.3.1.2 Maximum bar size = 16 mm Cover < 16
Minimum nominal cover = 40 mm Cover = 40mm
Nbal = 0.25fcu b h
= 0.25x 30 x 300 x 400 x10^-3

Minimum reinforcement
BS8110:Part 1 : Required minimum compression r/f Asc, min = 0.4xbxh/100
1985 = 0.4 x 300x400/100
Clause 3.12.5 = 480 mm2
Maximum reinforcement
BS8110:Part 1 : For vertical cast column Asc, max = 6xbxh/100
1985 = 6x 300x400/100
Clause 3.12.6.2 = 7200 mm2
vxx = Vxx/bh
