Question: ( 1 ) A circular concrete column has a diameter of 1 0 0 cm and a height of 4 5 0 c m .

(1) A circular concrete column has a diameter of 100 cm and a height of 450cm.,fc'=350
kgfcm2.
(a) If the column is subjected to an axial compression P=1000tf, calculate the total
axial deformation of the column after three years of concrete creep. Neglect the
shrinkage deformation. The creep coefficient after three years Ct is calculated by
Eq.(1.11) of the lecture notes. The ultimate creep coefficient Cu=2.0. The column
does not have any reinforcement.
(b) On the basis of (a),24 D36(#11) longitudinal steel bars are added to the column.
Calculate the total axial deformation of the column after three years of concrete
creep and the change of the stress in the steel bars and concrete due to concrete
creep.
(c) Based on previous calculations, discuss the effect of adding steel bars on the
long-term total axial deformation of the column.
