- CVEN 444
2Lecture Goals
- Short column design
- Long columns
- Serviceability
3Columns
Strength Reduction Factor, f (ACI Code 9.3.2)
Axial tension, and axial tension with flexure.
f 0.9 Axial compression and axial compression
with flexure.
(a)
(b)
Members with spiral reinforcement confirming to
10.9.3 f 0.75 Other reinforced members
f 0.70
4Columns
Except for low values of axial compression, f may
be increased as follows
when and reinforcement is symmetric and ds
distance from extreme tension fiber to centroid
of tension reinforcement.
Then f may be increased linearly to 0.9 as fPn
decreases from 0.10fc Ag to zero.
5Columns
Commentary
Other sections f may be increased linearly to
0.9 as fPn decreases from smaller of (fPb or 0.1
fc Ag ) to zero.
6Design for Combined Bending and Axial Load (short
column)
Design - select cross-section and reinforcement
to resist axial load and moment.
7Design for Combined Bending and Axial Load (short
column)
Column Types
Spiral Column - more efficient for e/h lt 0.1,
but forming and spiral expensive Tied Column -
Bars in four faces used when e/h lt 0.2 and for
biaxial bending Tied Column - Bars in 2 faces
(furthest from axis of bending.
1)
2)
3)
- Most efficient when e/h gt 0.2 - rectangular
shape increases efficiency
8Design for Combined Bending and Axial Load (short
column)
Spices
Typically longitudinal bars spliced just above
each floor. (non-seismic) Type of lap splice
depends on state of stress (ACI 12.17) All bars
in compression Use compression lap
splice (ACI 12.16)

Column Shear
Recall ( Axial Compression )
Ties must satisfy ACI Ch. 11 and ACI Sec. 7.10.5

column)
Additional Note on Reinforcement Ratio
For cross-section larger than required for
loading Min. reinforcement may be computed for
reduced effective area, Ag, ( 1/2 Ag (total)
) Provided strength from reduced Area and
resulting Ast must be adequate for loading.

estimated (step 3), recalculate ( e / h ) and
redo steps 4 5. Revise Ag if
necessary. Select steel

load combinations ( use charts or exact

16Long 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)
17Long 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.
18Long Column
Eccentrically loaded pin-ended column.
Lateral deflection - increases moment

19Long Column
Eccentrically loaded pin-ended column.

column moment _at_ mid-height)
Axial capacity is reduced from A to B due to
increase in maximum moment due to Ds

Use Reciprocal Failure surface S2
(1/Pn,ex,ey) The ordinate 1/Pn on the surface S2
is approximated by ordinate 1/Pn on the plane S2
(1/Pn ex,ey) Plane S2 is defined by points A,B,
