Design of Concrete Encased Composite Column


Restrictions on Simplified Design Method
a) columns → doubly symmetrical & uniform cross section
b) steel contribution ratio δ → 0.2 ≤ δ ≤ 0.9
c) non-dimensional slenderness λ ≤ 2
d) 0.3% ≤ As/Ac ≤ 6%
e) minimum & maximum cover are restricted
               minimum cover → 40mm
               maximum cover → cz = 0.3h & cy = 0.4b
f) concrete filled sections → can be fabricated without any reinforcement however concrete encased steel secions → minimum As/Ac = 0.3%
g) ratio of depth to width, 0.2 ≤ h/b ≤ 5
