Using Design Chart(s)
Design Requires d2/h to determine which chart(s) to use:
Chart d2 = cnom + link + ϕ/ 2 = 30 + 8 + 16/2 = 46
d2/h = 46/400 = 0.115 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2

NEd = 1972.5 x 10³ = 0.6164
Design bhfck 400 x 400 x 20
Chart MEd = 39.45 x 10⁶ = 0.0308

Assuming 4 bars and interpolating between :
d2/h = 0.1 => Asfyk/bhfck (1) = 0.05
 0.15 => Asfyk/bhfck (2) = 0.045
Asfyk/bhfck = 0.05 + (0.115 - 0.1) x (0.045 - 0.05)/(0.15 - 0.1) = 0.0485 (by interpolation)

Beam s/w : = (25 x 0.203 x 1.35) + (25 x 0.1925 x 1.35) + (25 x 0.1505 x 1.35) + (25 x 0.1155 x 1.35)
= 22.33 kN 22.33
Clm s/w : = 25 x 2.85 x 0.4 x 0.4 x 1.35 = 15.39 kN 15.39 197.13
Therefore, total permanent load acting on column per floor level
= 159.41 + 22.33 + 15.39 = 197.13 kN

Design of column

Eq. 5.14 Slenderness ratio, λ = Lo /i λy = 24.65 24.65
λz = 24.65 24.65
cl.5.8.3.1(1) For a unbraced column the minimum limiting value of λ will be given by: (λ ≥ λlim)
Eq. 5.13N λlim = 10.8/√(NEd/Acfcd) = 10.8/√[ (651.9 x 10³)/(400 x 400 x 0.85 x 25/1.5) ] = 20.14 20.14
(24.65 > 20.14) Therefore, the column is Slender

Mo2 = 7.75 + 0.00535 x 651.9 = 11.24 kNm
Mo1 = 3.52 + 0.00535 x 651.9 = 7.01 kNm

REF CALCULATION OUTPUT
Using Design Chart(s)
Design Requires d2/h to determine which chart(s) to use:
Chart d2 = cnom + link + ϕ/ 2 = 30 + 8 + 16/2 = 46 46
d2/h = 46/400 = 0.115 0.05 0.1 0.15 0.2 0.25 0.115
Design chart(s) to use : (0.1 < 0.115 < 0.15)
for:
NEd = 651.9 x 10³ = 0.163 0.163
Design bhfck 400 x 400 x 25
Chart MEd = 13.67 x 10⁶ = 0.0085 0.0085
bh2fck 400 x 400² x 25
Assuming 4 bars and interpolating between :
d2/h = 0.1 => Asfyk/bhfck (1) = 0.05
0.15 => Asfyk/bhfck (2) = 0.01
Asfyk/bhfck = 0.05 + (0.115 - 0.1) x (0.01 - 0.05)/(0.15 - 0.1) = 0.038 (by interpolation) 0.038
As,Req. = (0.038 x 400 x 400 x 25)/500 = 304 mm² 304
cl. 9.5.2 (2) Check for minimum reinforcement 150 320
Eq. 9.12N Min. As = { (0.1N/0.87fyk) or 0.002Ac } = 0.002 x 400 x 400 = 320 mm² 320
cl. 9.5.2 (3) Check for maximum reinforcement
Max. As = 0.04Ac = 0.04 x 400 x 400 = 6400 mm² #NAME? 6400
As,Req. = 320 mm² 320
Therefore, provide; 4 T16 mm As, Prov. = #NAME? #NAME?
