The Column size is 300x500
Consider a Column Segment from Ground to First Floor
Level.
Determination of Short or Slender Column
Bending about X-X Axis
Dimension of column about XX axis Bending h = 500mm
Depth of the Beam along Y direction is 675mm.
Cl.3.8.1.6.2 Hence Top Condition is 1.
BS 8110-1:1997 Ground Beam Depth is 900mm.
Hence Bottom Condition -1
Table 3.2 Hence = 1.2

BS 8110-1:1997 L ex = L ox = 1.2 (4000 675) = 3990mm

(Floor to Floor Height is 4000mm)

L ex 3990
= = 7.98 < 10
h 500
Hence Column is Short for X-X axis Bending.

Bending about Y-Y Axis

Dimension of column about YY axis Bending b = 300mm
Depth of the Beam along X direction is 600mm.
Cl.3.8.1.6.2 Hence Top Condition is 1.
BS 8110-1:1997 Ground Beam Depth is 900mm.
Hence Bottom Condition -1
Table 3.2 Hence = 1.2

BS 8110-1:1997 L ey = L oy = 1.2 (4000 600) = 4080mm

L ey 4080

Cl.3.12.7.1 Design of Links
BS 8110- Largest Compression bar =25mm
1:1997 Hence Diameter of the shear link should be larger than 25/4=6mm.
Hence T10 Links were provided.
Shear Link spacing should be less than 12 times smallest compression bar.
(12x25=300mm)
But link details required to mitigate seismic effects are stringent than this.
Hence shear link details were provided to mitigate the seismic effects.

Design of Links to mitigate Seismic Effects

Detailing of the shear links were done as per Reinforcement Detailing to
mitigate seismic effects published by Society of Structural Engineers, Sri
Lanka.
Column confinement zone depth ( Adjacent to Beams) is greater of
(a) 500mm
