Composite Column Design-Lecture-5

The document discusses the design of composite columns, specifically filled and encased composite columns, which enhance structural performance through the combination of steel and concrete. Key benefits of concrete-filled hollow structural sections (HSS) include increased compression capacity, fire resistance, and cost-effectiveness. It outlines the criteria for compliance with AISC 2016 specifications for both filled and encased composite columns, emphasizing the importance of steel ratios and reinforcement requirements.

Lecture No.11-Design of Composite Columns

❑ Encased composite columns have a steel section, usually an H-


shaped or a circular one, that is surrounded by concrete.
❑ Filled composite columns have a hollow steel section, such as a
pipe or a tube, that is filled with concrete.
Design of Filled & Encased Composite Column Section
Concrete-Filled Composite Column Section
Concrete-filled Hollow Structural Section (HSS) columns are a construction technique that
involves filling steel tubular columns with concrete. This technique has many benefits,
including:
• Increased compression capacity: The concrete and steel work together to increase the
compression capacity of the column.
• Fire resistance: Concrete-filled HSS columns can provide up to three hours of fire resistance,
depending on the loading level. This reduces the need for costly fire protection coatings.
• Blast protection: The concrete column inside the HSS is shielded during a blast event.
• Cost-effective: Concrete-filled HSS columns are typically 5–10% less expensive than other fire
protection measures. They also eliminate the need for a separate fireproofing contractor.
• Optimal use of materials: Concrete-filled HSS columns use materials optimally and have
smaller cross sections than regular concrete.
• Maintenance-free: The concrete fill is protected by the steel and is maintenance-free.
• Permanent formwork: The steel provides permanent formwork for the concrete infill.
Concrete-Filled Composite Column Section
A filled composite column is a column composed of a
rectangular or round HSS or pipe section.
In order to qualify under the AISC 2016 Specification as a filled
composite column, the following criteria must be met:
1. The cross-sectional area of the steel HSS must comprise at least 1% of the
total composite cross section.
2. The b/t ratio for the walls of a rectangular HSS to be used in a composite
column must be less than or equal to 2.26 (E/F y)0.5, although higher ratios
are permitted if justified by testing or analysis.
3. The D/t ratio for the walls of a round HSS to be used as a composite column
must be less than or equal to 0.15 E/F y although higher ratios are permitted
if justified by testing or analysis.
4. As with encased columns, filled composite columns may now be designed
with a minimum steel ratio of 1%. In addition, the minimum wall slenderness
has been liberalized from previous editions of the LRFD specification. Those
editions did not differentiate between buckling of filled and unfilled HSS.

Encased Composite Column
An encased composite column is a column composed of a steel shape
core encased in concrete with additional longitudinal reinforcing steel
and lateral ties.
In order to qualify under the AISC 2016 Specification as an encased
composite column, the following criteria must be met:
1. The cross-sectional area of the steel core must comprise at least 1%
of the total composite cross section.
2. The concrete encasement of the steel core must be reinforced with
continuous longitudinal bars and lateral ties or spirals. The
minimum lateral reinforcement must be at least 0.009 sq. in. per
inch of tie spacing.
3. The minimum reinforcement ratio for continuous longitudinal
reinforcing is 0.4% of the gross column area.
4. For this specification, composite columns may now be designed
with a minimum of 1% steel ratio, down from the 4% required in
previous LRFD specifications.
