Assumed an inside column 50 stories below the roof.

Floor to floor height is 3.5mm.

The size of column is 750*1500mm.
The column is reinforced with 4% of reinforcement.
n=Es/Ec is taken as 8.
Es=2*100000Mpa.
The column is subjected to load of 16, 8000 Newton per floor.
Every fifth floor the reinforcement and size of column changes. The details of column sizes and
reinforcement are as follows-

SIZE REINFORCEMENT
Ground to 5th floor 750x1500 4%
5TH to 10th floor 650x1400 3.5%
10th to 15th floor 550x1300 3%
15th to 20th floor 450x1200 3%
20th to 25th floor 450x1100 3%
25th to 30th floor 450x1000 3%
30th to 35th floor 450x9000 3%
35th to 40th floor 450x800 3%
40th t o 45th floor 450x700 2.5%
45th to 50th floor 450x600 2%

a) Planned construction two floors per week

b) Concrete is moist cured.
c) Relative humidity 40%.
d) Slump of concrete 34%.
e) Fine contents 34%.
f) Air contents 5%
g) Cement content 356kg/m3
h) Age at loading 28 days.
SOLUTION
STEP-1: Calculation of creep Coefficient.
Since planned construction is quite fast i.e., two floors per week, the effect of incremental loading can be
neglected.
Ø∞ (t,to) = 2.35 K1 K2 K3 K4 K5 K6
K1 = 1.25 t0 -0.118

= 1.25(28-0.118 )= 0.843
K2 = 1.27 – 0.006(40) = 1.03
v/s = (750x1500)/(2(750+1500)) = 250
k3 =2/3 [1+1/13 e-0.0212(v/s) ]
= 2/3 [1+1.13 e -0212(250) ]
= 0.67
K4 = 0.82+0.00264 (100)]
= 1.084
K5 = 0.88+0.0024(34)
= 0.9616
K6 = 0.46+0.09(5) = 0.91<1
Hence k6 = 1
Ø∞(t,to) = 2.35 (0.843) (1.03) (0.67) (1.084) (0.9616) (1)
= 1.425= Øt
Step-2: Calculation of Ultimate Shrinkage
Ultimate shrinkage, Sh∞
= 780X10 –6 K1 K2 K3 K4 K5 K6 K7
K1 = 1 (assumed 7 days curing)
K2= 1.4-(0.01)(40)= 1
K3 = 1.2 e -0.00743(v/s)
= 1.2 e-0.00743(v/s) =0.3678
K4 = 0.89+0.00264(100) =1.154
K5 = 0.30+0.014(34)=0.776
K6 = 0.75+0.00061 (356) =0.967
K7 = 0.95+0.008(5) = 0.99
Sh∞ = 780x10 -6(1) (1) (0.3678) (1.154) (0.776) (0.967) (0.99) = 2.459x10 -4 = єsh

APPLICATION OF PROF SAMRA’S EQUATION.

As = 4/100X750X1500 = 45000mm2
Steel ratio with respect to gross section=0.04= Sr
n=8
fci = P/ (Ac+nAs) = P/ (Ag + (n-1)As )
= 50X16, 8000/1440000 = 5.8333N/mm2
fct = fci(((1-Sr)+n(1-0.2 Øt)Sr)/((1-Sr)+n(1+0.8 Øt)Sr))
By substituting
fci =5.8333N/mm2
n=8
Øt=1.425
Sr=0.4
We get
fct =4.216 N/mm2
fst=nfci((0.2)Øt+ ((fct/ fci)(1+0.8 Øt)))
Substituting all the values ,we get
fst=85.4778 N/mm2
Hence deformation due to creep= fst/ES =85.4778/(2*100000)=4.27 *(1/ 10000) mm
Stress in steel due to shrinkage
= єsh/ ( (1+ Øt)/Ec + (Ac/AsEs))
=27.69 N/mm2
Strain due to shrinkage=27.69/(2*100000)=1.3845 *(1/10000) mm.
Hence deformation for 3.5m high column=
(1.3845+4.27)(1/10000) (3500) =1.979 mm
Hence height deformation of column 50 storied below the roof = 1.979 mm.
Going by same procedure axial deformation of each storied column i.e. column 50 storied below the roof to
1st storied below the roof can be calculated. Summation of deformation of each segments of column is equal
to total axial deformation of the column.
