If we don’t excavate the foundation to a sufficient depth or if we don’t provide the adequate size of the columns required for a particular number of stories, the structure would be prone to failure. Hence it becomes necessary to decide the size of columns as per the number of floors to be constructed in a building structure. The column is an important component of a building structure. The main function of it is to transfer the loads from the superstructure to the foundation. As per IS 13920, the Width (W) to Depth (D) ratio of a column should be greater than or equal to 0.4 and the minimum dimension of the member shall not be less than 200 mm. However, in frames that have beams with a Centre-to-Centre span exceeding 5 m or columns of unsupported length exceeding 4 m, the shortest dimension of the column shall not be less than 300 mm. The size of a column depends on its ultimate axial load-carrying capacity and the grades of concrete & steel used to cast the element. Before proceeding further, we must know what is Area of steel, the Area of concrete &, What is Gross area? By the term Area of steel, we mean the total area of cross-section of all the steel bars provided in a section.
