Question

How to calculate strength of single bar in uplift column?

Answer 1

Before you start calculating the steel quantities, you need to visualize the dimensions (Length, Breadth, Depth) of the structural member. (Be it a beam,
slab, column or a footing)

Then you need to visualize the shapes of bars that needs to be used.

​
​

You get the diameter of the bar details in the working drawings. Make a note of it.

If you observe the drawings properly, they provide you with spacing details like 100 mm or 150 mm or 200 mm c/c.

Let us consider 150 mm c/c spacing.

Then you need to know how much cover to provide.
