6. Column Design

Based on the factored axial loads and magnified moments considering slenderness effects, the capacity of the assumed column section (500 mm × 500 mm with 12 – 25M bars distributed all sides equal) will be checked and confirmed to finalize the design. A column interaction diagram will be generated using strain compatibility analysis, the detailed procedure to develop column interaction diagram can be found in Interaction Diagram - Tied Reinforced Concrete Column (CSA A23.3-19) example.
