A column of size $$450\,mm \times 600\,mm$$ has unsupported length of $$3.0$$ $$m$$ and is braced against side sway in both directions. According to $$IS$$ $$456: 2000,$$ the minimum eccentricities (in $$mm$$) with respe...
A reinforced concrete column contains longitudinal steel equal to $$1$$ percent of net cross-sectional area of the column. Assume modular ration as $$10.$$ the loads carried (using the elastic theory) by the longitudinal...
A rectangular column section of $$250\,\,mm \times 400\,mm$$ is reinforced with five steel bars of grade $$Fe$$ $$500,$$ each of $$20$$ $$mm$$ diameters. Concrete mix is $$M30.$$ Axial load on the column section with min...
An $$RC$$ short column with $$300\,\,mm \times 300\,mm$$ square cross-section is made of $$M20$$ grade concrete and has $$4$$ numbers, $$20$$ $$mm$$ diameter longitudinal bars of $$Fe$$-$$415$$ steel. It is under the act...
The effective length of a column in a reinforced concrete building frame, as per $$IS:$$ $$456$$-$$2000,$$ is independent of the
In reinforced concrete, pedestal is defined as compression member, whose effective length does not exceed its dimension by
Design a square $$R.C$$ column to resist an axial load of $$400$$ $$kN$$ due to dead load and $$240$$ $$kN$$ due to live load at service stage. Design the section as a short axially loaded column. Use $$M25$$ concrete an...
In a reinforced concrete beam-column, the increase in the flexural strength along with the increase in the axial strength occurs
The lateral ties in a reinforced concrete rectangular column under axial compression are used to
A reinforced concrete member is subjected to combined action of compressive axial force and bending moment. If $${\varepsilon _{\min }}$$ is the least compressive strain in the member $${f_y},$$ the yield stress of steel...
