Question: The structure shown in Fig. 4 a required tall slender columns at the left side. It is fully braced by shear walls on the right.

The structure shown in Fig. 4a required tall slender columns at the left side. It is fully braced by
shear walls on the right. All columns are 4040cm as shown in Fig. 4 b, and all beams are 6015
cm with 15cm monolithic floor slab, as in Fig. 4c. Trial calculations call for column reinforcement
as shown. Alternate load analysis indicates the critical condition with column AB bent in single
curvature, and service load axial force and moments as follows:
From dead load, P=620kN,Mtop=82kN-m,Mbottom=55kN-m
From live load, P=414kN,Mtop=55kN-m,Mbottom=36kN-m
Material strengths are fc'=28MPa and fy=420MPa. Is the proposed column in Fig. 4b
satisfactory for this load condition? Use equation as the following to approximate EI for column,
(EI)eff=0.2EcIg+EsIse1+dns
The structure shown in Fig. 4 a required tall
