1. A short column 40cm square in cross-section is reinforced with 4-22 mm bars

longitudinally which are bound together with lateral ties. Determine the safe axial
load on the column.
2. Design a column section to carry a direct load of 400 kN and a bending moment
of 100 kN-m. Use M20 grade of concrete and Fe 415 grade of steel.
3. Design a short circular reinforced concrete column to carry an axial load of
3000kN and reinforced with circular ties. Use M25 grade of concrete and Fe 415
grade of steel.
4. Design an RCC column of unsupported length 3 m for the following parameters:
Axial factored load = 2800 kN.
Concrete used = M 20.
Steel used = Fe 415.
5. Find the reinforcement for a RCC column with following particulars: Size of
Column: 450 mm x 450 mm; Concrete mix: M25; Reinforcement: Fe 415;
Factored Load: 2500 kN; Factored moment: 180 kN-m; Arrangement of
reinforcement: On four sides.
6. Design by limit state philosophy a RCC short column under biaxial bending with
following data:
Size of column 500mm x 300mm
Factored load = 2000 kN
Factored moment, Mux=120KNm
Muy=110 KNm
Effective length along x-direction= 5.5 m
Effective length along y-direction = 4.5 m
Unsupported length of column = 7 m
Use M 20 and Fe 415
7. Using Limit State Philosophy, design a column 12 m long to support a load of
3000 kN and moments of 100 kN-m and 75 kN-m at top along X and Y directions
and moment of 85 kN-m and 60 kN-m at bottom of the column. Use M25 grade of
concrete and Fe 415 grade of steel.
