11Biaxial Column Example
The section of a short tied column is 16 x 24 in.
and is reinforced with 8 10 bars as shown.
Determine the allowable ultimate load on the
section f Pn if its acts at ex 8 in. and ey
12 in. Use fc 5 ksi and fy 60 ksi.
12Biaxial Column Example
Compute the P0 load, compression with no moments
13Biaxial Column Example
Compute Pnx, by starting with ey term and assume
that compression controls. Check by Compute
the nominal load, Pnx and assume second
compression steel does not contribute
assume small
14Biaxial Column Example

are Use similar triangles to find the
stress in the steel, fs
15Biaxial Column Example

steel where The resulting equation is
16Biaxial Column Example
Combine the two equations and solve for Pn using
an iterative solution Set the two equation
equal to one another and sole for fs and the
definition
17Biaxial Column Example
Combine the two equations and solve for c using
an iterative technique You are solving a cubic
equation

Check the assumption that Cs2 is close to zero
This value is small relative to the others
19Biaxial Column Example
This Cs2 11 kips relatively small verses the
overall load, which is So Pnx 733.0 kips
20Biaxial Column Example
Start with ex term and assume that compression
controls. Compute the nominal load, Pny and

25Biaxial Column Example
Check the assumption that Cs2 is close to zero
This value is negative so it does not contribute
26Biaxial Column Example
This Cs2 - 2.1 kips relatively small verses the
overall load, which is So Pnx 684.6 kips
27Biaxial Column Example
Compute the nominal load
28Biaxial Column Example
Note the Pnx Pny include the corner steel bars
in both calculations a more conservative solution
would be to use 1/2 the steel in each direction
so As 2(1.27 in2) which would reduce Pu .
(Remember fs can not be greater than 60 ksi, so
that Pnx 620.3 k and Pny 578.4 k Pn 360.7
k and Pu 234.5 k )
29Columns
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
30Long 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)
31Long 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.
32Effective 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
33K 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
34K Factor

YA and YB are the top and bottom factors of the
column.

36K 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
