Cl 2.6.2.3 of CP65-Part 2 says all the keys supporting attached building

should be also assumed to be subject to a design ultimate loading 34 kN/m 2.

Key element
Column Type : 5C41 C68
Level : 1F-2F
Floor to Floor Height = 3.15 m
Column size ; h = 200 mm
b= 2950 mm
Column taking length = 4.8 m (in plan view)
Column taking breadth = 6.9 m (in plan view)
Column taking Area = 33.12 m2

Robustness
Design Ultimate Load = 34 kN/m2 (for Robustness)
Vertical Load for Robustness = 1126.08 kN
Horizontal Load for Robustness = 100.3 kN/m
additional Mom due to hori: Load = 186.61 kNm 186.605015625 kNm (due to robu

Regulation A3 Suggest that a key element is such that its failure would cause
the collapse of more than a limited area 70 m2 or 15% of the area of the storey,whichever is the lesser.

area of the storey = 598 m2

15% of the area of the storey = 89.7 m2
Controal area = 70 m2 > column taking area
Therefore, not need to consider Robustness

For Robustness consideration,

Load combination = 1.05 (1.0DL + 0.333LL + 0.333 WL)
(live load = 1.0 for warehouses and industrial buildings and 0.33 for others)

from Analysis,
factored Axial Load = 10000 kN
factored Mx = 25 kNm
factored My = 20 kNm

Input Data to Prokon [N.A] 4.8 m

Resultant Axial Load = 11126.08 kN
Resultant Mx = 25.00 kNm
Resultant My = 206.61 kNm
