B-1.1 General Design Requirements

The general design requirements of Section 5A (C) shall apply to this annex.

B-1.2 Redistribution of Moments

Except where the simplified analysis using coefficients (see 21.5) is used, the moments over the supports for any assumed arrangement of loading, including the dead load moments may each be increased or decreased by not more than 15 percent, provided that these modified moments over the supports are used for the calculation of the corresponding moments in the spans.

B-1.3 Assumptions for Design of Members

In the methods based on elastic theory, the following assumptions shall be made:

a) At any cross-section, plane sections before bending remain plain after bending.

b) All tensile stresses are taken up by reinforcement and none by concrete, except as otherwise specifically permitted.

c) The stress-strain relationship of steel and concrete, under working loads, is a straight line.

d) The modular ratio m has the value $\frac{280}{3\sigma_{cbc}}$

where $\sigma_{\mathrm{cbc}}$ is permissible compressive stress due to bending in concrete, in $\mathrm{N / mm^2}$ , as specified in Table 25.

NOTE — The expression given for m partially takes into account long-term effects such as creep. Therefore this m is not the same as the modular ratio derived based on the value of $E_{c}$ given in 5.2.3.1.

B-2 Permissible Stresses

B-2.1 Permissible Stresses in Concrete

Permissible stresses for the various grades of concrete shall be taken as those given in Tables 25 and 27.

NOTE — For increase in strength with age, 5.2.1 shall be applicable. The values of permissible stress shall be obtained by interpolation between the grades of concrete.

B-2.1.1 Direct Tension

For members in direct tension, when full tension is taken

by the reinforcement alone, the tensile stress shall be not greater than the values given below:

Grade of Concrete	M10	M15	M20	M25	M30	M35	M40	M45	M50 and Above
Tensile Stress N/mm $^{2}$	1.2	2.0	2.8	3.2	3.6	4.0	4.4	4.8	5.2

The tensile stress shall be calculated as:

\frac {F _ {\mathrm{t}}}{A _ {\mathrm{e}} + m A _ {\mathrm{st}}}

where

$F_{\mathrm{t}} =$ total tension on the member minus pretension in steel, if any, before concreting;

$A_{e}$ = cross-sectional area of concrete excluding any finishing material and reinforcing steel;

$m =$ modular ratio; and

$A_{st}$ = cross-sectional area of reinforcing steel in tension.

B-2.1.2 Bond Stress for Deformed Bars

In the case of deformed bars conforming to accepted standard [6-5A(36)], the bond stresses given in Table 25 may be increased by 60 percent.

B-2.2 Permissible Stresses in Steel Reinforcement

Permissible stresses in steel reinforcement shall not exceed the values specified in Table 26.

B-2.2.1 In flexural member the value of $\sigma_{st}$ given in Table 26 is applicable at the centroid of the tensile reinforcement subject to the condition that when more than one layer of tensile reinforcement is provided, the stress at the centroid of the outermost layer shall not exceed by more than 10 percent the value given in Table 26.

B-2.3 Increase in Permissible Stresses

Where stresses due to wind (or earthquake), temperature and shrinkage effects are combined with those due to dead and imposed load, the stresses specified in Tables 25, 26 and 27 may be exceeded up to a limit of $33\frac{1}{3}$ percent. Wind and seismic forces need not be considered as acting simultaneously.

B-3.1 Pedestals and Short Columns with Lateral Ties

The axial load $P$ permissible on a pedestal or short column reinforced with longitudinal bars and lateral ties shall not exceed that given by the following equation:

P = \sigma_ {\mathrm{cc}} A _ {\mathrm{c}} + \sigma_ {\mathrm{sc}} A _ {\mathrm{sc}}

where

$\sigma_{cc} =$ permissible stress in concrete in direct compression,

$A_{c}$ = cross-sectional area of concrete excluding any finishing material and reinforcing steel,

$A_{\mathrm{sc}} =$ cross-sectional area of the longitudinal steel.

NOTE — The minimum eccentricity mentioned in 24.4 may be deemed to be incorporated in the above equation.

B-3.2 Short Columns with Helical Reinforcement

The permissible load for columns with helical reinforcement satisfying the requirement of 38.4.1 shall be 1.05 times the permissible load for similar member with lateral ties or rings.

PART 6 STRUCTURAL DESIGN — SECTION 5 CONCRETE: 5A PLAIN AND REINFORCED CONCRETE

B-3.3 Long Columns

The maximum permissible stress in a reinforced concrete column or part thereof having a ratio of effective column length to least lateral dimension above 12 shall not exceed that which results from the multiplication of the appropriate maximum permissible stress as specified under B-2.1 and B-2.2 by the coefficient $C_{\mathrm{r}}$ given by the following formula:

C _ {\mathrm{r}} = 1. 2 5 - \frac {l _ {\mathrm{ef}}}{4 8 b}

where

$C_{\mathrm{r}} =$ reduction coefficient;

$l_{ef}$ = effective length of column; and

$b =$ least lateral dimension of column; for column with helical reinforcement, $b$ is the diameter of the core.

For more exact calculations, the maximum permissible stresses in a reinforced concrete column or part thereof having a ratio of effective column length to least lateral radius of gyration above 40 shall not exceed those which result from the multiplication of the appropriate maximum permissible stresses specified under B-2.1 and B-2.2 by the coefficient $C_{\mathrm{r}}$ given by the following formula:

C _ {\mathrm{r}} = 1. 2 5 - \frac {l _ {\mathrm{ef}}}{1 6 0 i _ {\min}}

where $i_{\mathrm{min}} =$ least radius of gyration.

B-3.4 Composite Columns

a) Allowable load — The allowable axial load P on a composite column consisting of structural steel or cast-iron column thoroughly encased in concrete reinforced with both longitudinal and spiral reinforcement, shall not exceed that given by the following formula:

P = \sigma_ {\mathrm{cc}} A _ {\mathrm{c}} + \sigma_ {\mathrm{sc}} A _ {\mathrm{sc}} + \sigma_ {\mathrm{mc}} A _ {\mathrm{m}}

where

$\sigma_{cc} = \text{permissible stress in concrete in direct compression;}$

$A_{c}$ = net area of concrete section; which is equal to the gross area of the concrete section $= A_{sc} - A_{m}$ ;

$A_{sc}$ = cross-sectional area of longitudinal bar reinforcement;

$\sigma_{\mathrm{mc}} =$ allowable unit stress in metal core, not to exceed $125~\mathrm{N / mm^2}$ for a steel core, or $70~\mathrm{N / mm^2}$ for a cast iron core; and

$A_{m} = \text{cross-sectional area of the steel or cast iron core.}$

b) Metal core and reinforcement — The cross-sectional area of the metal core shall not exceed 20 percent of the gross area of the column. If a hollow metal core is used, it shall be filled with concrete. The amount of longitudinal and spiral reinforcement and the requirements as to spacing of bars, details of splices and thickness of protective shell outside the spiral, shall conform to requirements of 25.5.3. A clearance of at least 75 mm shall be maintained between the spiral and the metal core at all points, except that when the core consists of a structural steel H-column, the minimum clearance may be reduced to 50 mm.

c) Splices and connections of metal cores — Metal cores in composite columns shall be accurately milled at splices and positive provisions shall be made for alignment of one core above another. At the column base, provisions shall be made to transfer the load to the footing at safe unit stresses in accordance with 33. The base of the metal section shall be designed to transfer the load from the entire composite columns to the footing, or it may be designed to transfer the load from the metal section only, provided it is placed in the pier or pedestal as to leave ample section of concrete above the base for the transfer of load from the reinforced concrete section of the column by means of bond on the vertical reinforcement and by direct compression on the concrete. Transfer of loads to the metal core shall be provided for by the use of bearing members, such as billets, brackets or other positive connections, these shall be provided at the top of the metal core and at intermediate floor levels where required. The column as a whole shall satisfy the requirements of formula given under (a) at any point; in addition to this, the reinforced concrete portion shall be designed to carry, according to B-3.1 or B-3.2 as the case may be, all floor loads brought into the column at levels between the metal brackets or connections. In applying the formula under B-3.1 or B-3.2 the gross area of column shall be taken to be the area of the concrete section outside the metal core, and the allowable load on the reinforced concrete section shall be further limited to $0.28 f_{ck}$ times gross sectional area of the column.

d) Allowable load on metal core only — The metal core of composite columns shall be designed to carry safely any construction or other loads to be placed upon them prior to their encasement in concrete.

B-4 Members Subjected to Combined Axial Load and Bending

B-4.1 Design Based on Uncracked Section

A member subjected to axial load and bending (due to eccentricity of load, monolithic construction, lateral forces, etc) shall be considered safe provided the following conditions are satisfied:

\text {a)} \quad \frac {\sigma_ {\mathrm{cc,cal}}}{\sigma_ {\mathrm{cc}}} + \frac {\sigma_ {\mathrm{cbc,cal}}}{\sigma_ {\mathrm{cbc}}} \leq 1

where

$\sigma_{\mathrm{cc, cal}} =$ calculated direct compressive stress in concrete,

$\sigma_{\mathrm{cc}}$ = permissible axial compressive stress in concrete,

$\sigma_{\mathrm{cbc, cal}} =$ calculated bending compressive stress in concrete, and

$\sigma_{\mathrm{cbc}}$ = permissible bending compressive stress in concrete.

b) The resultant tension in concrete is not greater than 35 percent and 25 percent of the resultant compression for biaxial and uniaxial bending respectively, or does not exceed three-fourths, the 7 days modulus of rupture of concrete.

NOTES

1 $\sigma_{\mathrm{cc,cal}} = \frac{P}{A_{\mathrm{c}} + 1.5mA_{\mathrm{sc}}}$ for columns with ties where $P$ , $A_{\mathrm{c}}$ and $A_{\mathrm{sc}}$ are defined in B-3.1 and $m$ is the modular ratio.

2 $\sigma_{\mathrm{cbc,cal}} = \frac{M}{Z}$ where $M$ equals the moment and $Z$ equals modulus of section. In the case of sections subject to moments in two directions, the stress shall be calculated separately and added algebraically.
