Reinforcement detailing of Columns from ETABS output
Reinforcement detailing of columns in Etabs 2018.
The ETABS file for a G+4 building is provided. Run the analysis and design the RCC Moment Resisting Frame. The following challenge deals specifically with two columns at the following grid intersections.
- 3A
- 3B
- Provide details of longitudinal reinforcement for the two columns, from foundation to terrace level. Sketch the column cross sectional & elevation details or draft it using autocad software.
- Show shear reinforcement & lapping details as per special confining reinforcement provision of clause 8.1 of IS 13920 - 2016.
AIM :
Reinforcement detailing of columns from Etabs Output.
- 3A
- 3B
- Provide details of longitudinal reinforcement for the two columns, from foundation to terrace level. Sketch the column cross sectional & elevation details or draft it using autocad software.
- Show shear reinforcement & lapping details as per special confining reinforcement provision of clause 8.1 of IS 13920 - 2016.
PROCEDURE :
- Open Etabs sofware,
- Open the Provided G+4 file

- Select the column 3A & 3B Right and show selected objects only.

- Run analysis,

- select concrete frame design of the model,

- Note down longitudinal reinforcing

- Also note down the shear reinforcing, from Display design info,



- Grid 3A
- Maximum longitudinal reinforcement required is @ bottom = 7027 mm^2
- Therefore, we can provide 10 bars of 32mm dia = `pi` * d^2 / 4 = 804 * 10 = `8040mm^2
- AUTOCAD DRAWING,

- Grid 3B
- Maximum longitudinal reinforcement required is @ bottom = 5046 mm^2
- Therefore, we can provide 6 bars of 32mm dia and 2 bars of 20mm dia = `pi`* d^2 / 4 = 804 * 6 + 314 *2
- = 5452mm^2
- AUTOCAD DRAWING,

RESULT :
Thus the retailing of 2 RCC columns where done using Auto cad and special confining reinforcement is verified with respect to IS13920 Clause 8.1
