 for short column

 for long column

Longitudinal reinforcement
(a) Minimum area of steel = 0.8% of the gross area of column
(b) Maximum area of steel
(i) When bars are not lapped Amax = 6% of the gross area of column
(ii) When bars are lapped Amax = 4% of the gross area of column
Minimum number of bars for reinforcement
For rectangular column  4
For circular column  6
Minimum diameter of bar = 12 mm
Maximum distance between longitudinal bar = 300 mm
Pedestal: It is a short length whose effective length is not more than 3 times
of lest lateral dimension.
Transverse reinforcement (Ties)

where

φ = dia of bar for transverse reinforcement
Pitch (p)

where, φmin = minimum dia of main longitudinal bar

Helical reinforcement

(ii) Pitch of helical reinforcement: (p)

where,
dC = Core diameter = dg – 2 × clear cover to helical reinforcement
AG = Gross area 

dg = Gross diameter
Vh = Volume of helical reinforcement in unit length of column
φh = Diameter of steel bar forming the helix

dh = centre to centre dia of helix

= dg – 2 clear cover - φh
φh = diameter of the steel bar forming the helix

Some others IS recommendations

(a) Slenderness limit
(i) Unsupported length between end restrains

 60 times least lateral dimension.

(ii) If in any given plane one end of column is unrestrained than its
unsupported length 

(b) All column should be designed for a minimum eccentricity of

 then it is a short axially loaded column.
where, Pu = axial load on the column
3. Short axially loaded column with helical reinforcement

4. Some others IS code Recommendations

(a) Slenderness limit

(i) Unsupported length between end restrains

 60 times least lateral dimension.

(ii) If in any given plane one end of column is unrestrained than its
unsupported length 

(b) All column should be designed for a minimum eccentricity of

Concentrically Loaded Columns

Where e = 0, i.e., the column is truly axially loaded.

This formula is also used for member subjected to combined axial load and
bi- axial bending and also used when e > 0.05 D.
