Dear All

Your point of view is required related to some ambiguities associated with L/T shaped column. Based on your rigorous experience and knowledge, please provide your feedback.

Queries

1.     Slenderness limit for short column is given in terms of Lex/D and Ley/b (IS 456:2000, Clause 25.1.2). It is fine for rectangular and circular column. But when it comes to non-rectangular columns, this limit can be fixed in terms of effective length and radius of gyration  Le/r only. For rectangular column  r — 0.3D, hence Le/r — 40. As per ACI 318-02, clause 10.12.2 -10.12.3,

o       For unbraced columns,

o       For braced columns,  , M1 and M2 are the numerically smaller and larger moments respectively.

For braced column bent in single curvature, Le/r  range lies 22-34 for being short column. While for braced column bent in double curvature, this range will be 34-40 (As it shall not exceed 40).

So what limit we should follow Le/r — 40, or as per ACI?

2.      Minimum eccentricity for rectangular/circular column as per  IS 456:2000, Clause 25.4, is

.

S N Sinha is using same formula in his Hand Book (Page-258) for L-Shaped column. Although as per SP-24 (clause 24.4), minimum eccentricity for non-rectangular section can be calculated as pr below,

emin = maximum(Le/300, 20mm)

Which one should be followed?

3.       Additional moment for slender column are calculated as per Clause 37.9.1 (IS 456:2000),

Is above formula valid for L/T column also? S N Sinha is using same formula  in his hand book.

4.      Design software assumes that forces are applied about CG of section. But in actual practice, forces may be eccentric; especially in case of L/T column. Will it have significant effect?
