At SECalcs, we understand the importance of robust and flexible materials in structural engineering. Reinforced concrete columns, known for their impressive compressive strength and tensile bending capabilities, are a testament to this. These columns match the strength of steel columns, outperforming brickwork piers and timber posts. Their excellent fire resistance makes them ideal for supporting heavy loads, especially where safety is paramount. For ground floor installations, a new pad foundation may be necessary.
While our structural calculations for reinforced concrete columns do not automatically include a bending schedule for the reinforcement, this can be requested as an additional service. We aim to provide comprehensive solutions tailored to your specific needs.
All our design work adheres to the regulations and guidelines set forth in BS8110 (The structural use of concrete). We ensure our calculations are suitable for building regulation approval, providing you with a solid and secure solution for your reinforced concrete column needs.
To deliver an efficient and effective reinforced concrete column design, we require:
1
These should include detailed dimensions to help us evaluate all the relevant loadings on the column.
2
Knowledge of the column’s height is crucial for accurate design and calculations.
3
Details about the type of floors (concrete or timber) and walls (brick or block) are necessary to ensure the column fits seamlessly into your construction.
