ETABS 3D VIEW:

ETABS 2D-VIEW SHOWS COLUMNS, WALLS, BEAMS AND SLAB.

2D-View shows Ultimate Load for each column:
 COLUMN GROUP RANGE OF LOAD (KN) *2 TRIAL DIMENSIONS (cm)

C1 900-1200 30X60

C2 800-900 30x50

C3 500-800 30x50

C4 Less than 500 30x50

Note that trial dimensions are estimated from following equation:

𝑃𝑢
𝐴𝑔 =
0.5 ∗ 𝑓′𝑐
but these values are just for 2-stories, then for more safe assume that the school will be
designed to be expanded by extra 2 stories in future, so the ULT LOAD = 1133 *2 = 2266 KN

For C1:
1133 ∗ 2 ∗ 10
𝐴𝑔 = = 161857 𝑚𝑚
0.5 ∗ 28
Assume B = 300 cm , then H = 161857/300=539.5≈ 600 𝑚𝑚

For C2:
870 ∗ 2 ∗ 10
𝐴𝑔 = = 124300 𝑚𝑚
0.5 ∗ 28
Assume B = 250 mm , then H = 124300/250=497.2≈ 500 𝑚𝑚

For C3 & C4:

We will keep dimension as per Architectural drawings. (30x50)
Manual design for C1:
Given data:

𝑓 𝑐 = 28 𝑀𝑝𝑎 ,
(𝑏𝑋ℎ) = (30 𝑐𝑚 𝑋 60 𝑐𝑚)
Story height = 3 meter, Lc = 2.7 m, K=1

1- Check slenderness ratio:

1 ∗ 2.7 38.6
= 15 ≤ 34 − 12 + = 31 ≤ 40 → 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑌 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠
0.3 ∗ 0.6 145.33
1 ∗ 2.7 38.6
= 30 ≤ 34 − 12 + = 31 ≤ 40 → 𝑆ℎ𝑜𝑟𝑡 𝑎𝑏𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑋 − 𝑎𝑥𝑖𝑠
0.3 ∗ 0.3 145.33

2- Find Kn & Rn by the following equations:

1133 ∗ 2 ∗ 10
𝐾𝑛 = = 0.7
0.65 ∗ 300 ∗ 600 ∗ 28

145.33 ∗ 10
𝑅𝑛 = = 0.14
0.65 ∗ 600 ∗ 300 ∗ 28

3- Find 𝜸 ratio:

( ) ( )
𝛾= = = 0.8
 4- Find percentage of steel from four faces charts by intersect Kn & Rn values:

Percent of steel from chart ≈ 1.65% ≥ 1% − 𝑂𝐾

< 8% − 𝑂𝐾

Where Area steel required = Percent of steel from chart * Area of column

𝐴𝑠 0.0165 * 600*300 = 2970 mm2

Check values from ETABS:

The results are so near so its checked.

5- Find required number of bars and stirrups:

Assume ∅18 to be used then # Bars = 2970/254 = 11.7≈ 12 ∅ 18

For stirrups reinforcement:

Center to center of ties shall not be more than (16db, 48dties, least dimension of column).
(288 mm, 480 mm, 300 mm)
Use 2∅ 10 @ 280 𝑚𝑚 𝑐/𝑐

6- Check ACI CODE-14 Spacing requirements:

SPACING X-AXIS= {600-2(40)-4(10)-18}/4 = 115.5 mm < 150 mm & > 25 mm – Checked

SPACING Y-AXIS= {300-2(40)-2(10)-18}/4 = 46 mm < 150 mm & > 25 mm - Checked
