Columns
Slenderness ratio

• Long with a relatively high slenderness ratio
  where lateral or shear walls are required
• Long with a medium slenderness ration that will
  cause a reduction in strength
• Short where the slenderness ratio is small

Long Columns
Slender Columns
Slender Column
Column with a significant reduction in axial load
capacity due to moments resulting from lateral
deflections of the column (ACI Code significant
reduction 5)
5
Long Columns
Less than 10 of columns in braced or
non-sway frames and less than half of columns
in unbraced or sway frames would be
classified as slender following ACI Code
Procedure.
6
Effective Length
The effective length - klu lu - It measures the
clear distance between floors. k - a factor,
which represents the ratio of the distance
between points of zero moments in the columns
7
K Factor
YA and YB are the top and bottom factors of the
column. For a hinged end Y is infinite or 10 and
for a fixed end Y is zero or 1
8
K Factor
For a Braced Frame(Non-sway)
YA and YB are the top and bottom factors of the
column.
9
K Factor
For a Sway Frame a) Restrained _at_both
ends b) One hinged or free end Non-sway
frames Sway frames
10
K Factor
The general assumptions are - Structure consists
of symmetric rectangular frames - The girder
moment at a joint is distributed to columns
according to their relative stiffness - All
columns reach their critical loads at the same
time

General Formulation
Modulus of Elasticity Reinforced Moment (ACI

General Formulation

K Factor
Use the Y values to obtain the K factors for the
columns.

Moment Magnification in Non-sway Frames
If the slenderness effects need to be considered.
The non-sway magnification factor, dns, will
cause an increase in the magnitude of the design
moment. where

Moment Magnification in Non-sway Frames
The components of the equation for an Euler
bucking load for pin-end column and the
stiffness, EI is taken as
28
Moment Magnification in Non-sway Frames
A coefficient factor relating the actual moment
diagram to the equivalent uniform moment diagram.

conditions, such as members with transverse loads
between supports, Cm 1.0

Moment Magnification in Non-sway Frames
The minimum allowable value of M2 is The sway
frame uses a similar technique, see the text on
the components.

Design of Long Columns- Example
A rectangular braced column of a multistory frame
building has floor height lu 25 ft. It is
subjected to service dead-load moments M2 3500
k-in. on top and M12500 k-in. at the bottom.
The service live load moments are 80 of the
dead-load moments. The column carries a service
axial dead-load PD 200 k and a service axial
live-load PL 350 k. Design the cross section
size and reinforcement for this column. Given YA
1.3 and YB 0.9. Use a d2.5 in. cover with
an sustain load 50 and fc 7 ksi and fy
60 ksi.

the dead loads
32

33
Design of Long Columns- Example
Check to see if slenderness is going to matter.
An initial estimate of the size of the column
will be an inch for every foot of height. So h
25 in. So slenderness must be considered.
Since frame has no side sway, M2 M2ns, ds 0
