Challenge

Reinforcement detailing of Columns from ETABS output

Objectives of the Challenge:

  • To know the design of the RC column using ETABS analysis.
  • To know the basics of RC column reinforcement detailing with respect to primary standards.
  • Ensure the ductility reinforcement required by IS-13920-2016 has been satisfied in the reinforcement drawing.

Detailing rule of any Reinforced concrete member:

Whichever is greater in the following, Should be drawn in the RC column detailing

  1. Minimum Reinforcement for shrinkage & temperature.
  2. Ultimate limit state design rebar requirement.
  3. Ductility rebar requirement.
  • Minimum longitudinal reinforcement as per IS-456-2000 clause 26.5.3.1 As = 2340 mm^2
  • Minimum shear (or) transverse reinforcement as per IS-13920-2016 clause 7.4.2 - 8mm dia at 300mm spacing.
  • Development length as per IS-456-2000 clause 26.2.1 Ld = 41 x diameter of the bar

Procedure:

  • Open the analyzed file which we did in the last challenge.
  • Go to Elevation view of 3.
  • Now design the concrete frames.
  • Longitudinal reinforcement for columns 3A and 3B:

    Shear reinforcement for columns 3A and 3B:
  • In the challenge, they asked us to provide reinforcement details from the foundation to the terrace. For that purpose, the below data is required:
  • Special confining reinforcement from IS 13920-2016:
    Clause 8.1
  • Io, not less than:
    1. Large column dimension
    2. 1/6 of the clear span of the column
    3. 450mm
      • 650 mm

  • Confinement spacing, not more than
    • 1/4 of the smaller column dimension
    • 6 times of dia of column main bar
    • 100 mm
      • 100mm
  • The amount of confinement rebar:
      • 169 mm2
