General design parameters:

Given: Lo = 5.000 m fcu = 40 MPa fy = 460 MPa Ac = 716423 mm Assumptions: (1) The general conditions of clause 3.8.1 are applicable. (2) The specified design axial loads include the self-weight of the column. (3) The design axial loads are taken constant over the height of the column.

Design approach:
The column is designed using the following procedure: (1) The column design charts are constructed. (2) The design axis and design ultimate moment are determined . (3) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on the relevant design chart.

Check column slenderness:

End fixity and bracing for bending about the Design axis: At the top end: Condition 1 (fully fixed). At the bottom end: Condition 1 (fully fixed). The column is braced. = 0.75 Effective column height: le = Lo = 3.750 m Check if the column is slender: le/h = 4.4 < 15 The column is short.

The initial moment near mid-height of the column : Mi = 0.4M1 + 0.6M2 0.4M2 = 2100.0 kNm The initial end moments about the Y-Y axis: M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm M2 = Larger initial end moment = 0.0 kNm The initial moment near mid-height of the column : Mi = 0.4M1 + 0.6M2 0.4M2 = 0.0 kNm

Design of column section for ULS:

The column is checked for applied moment about the design axis. Through inspection: the critical section lies at the bottom end of the column. The design axis for the critical load case 1 lies at an angle of 0.00 to the X-axis The safety factor for the critical load case 1 is 1.00 For bending about the design axis:
