A short column 20 cm x 20 cm in section is reinforced with 4 bars whose area of cross section is 20 sq. cm. If permissible compressive stresses in concrete and steel are 40 kg/cm2 and 300 kg/cm2, the Safe load on the column, should not exceed
4120 kg
41, 200 kg

For concrete-(400-20)*40 = 15200kg.
For steel-20*1300 = 26000kg so total 41200kg answer.

pu = 0.4*Fck*Ac+0.67*Fy*.

As use this formula and multiply 4 no.of columns.

Jaan said:   1 decade ago
Multiply the above answer by 4 because we have provided 4 number of bars.

Its strength of column as a whole and not for individual bars.

Here, it should be 1300kg/cm2 in the place of 300kg/cm2.

Ujjwal said:   8 years ago
Yes, 21200 kg is the correct answer.

Agree @Anbarasan.

I am not getting it, please anyone explain in detail.

Ashish said:   7 years ago
Thank you. You are extremely right, @Sankha.

[0.4X40X(20X20)] + [0.67X300X20] = 41,680.

@Sankha.

Why 1300 taken in place of 300?
