Abstract:

 In this paper, the results of optimal design of steel reinforcement in a rectangular reinforced concrete column using Eurocode2 are discussed. Axial, uniaxial and biaxial loaded columnswere selected and designed using both Eurocode2 and BS 8110 code with the aid of a programmed Excel Spreadsheet. The result of the analysis was used to design the column reinforcement based on both codes. The percentage differences between the areas of reinforcement required by the two codes were calculated with the BS 8110 code results serving as the control values. It was found that the average percentage difference due to BS 8110 exceeded that of Eurocode2 in most cases considered.References:
