COLUMN:
Section should be designed for the column moment values at the
beam face.
Use higher grade of concrete when the axial load is predominant.
Go for higher section properties when the moment is
predominant.
Restrict the maximum % of reinforcement to 3.
Detail the reinforcement in column in such a way that it gets
maximum lever arm for the axis about which the column
moment acts.
Position of lap shall be clearly mentioned in the drawing
according to the change in reinforcement. Whenever there is a
change in reinforcement at a junction, lap shall be provided to
that side of the junction where the reinforcement is less.
Provide laps at mid-height of column to minimize the damage
due to moments (Seismic forces).
Avoid KICKER concrete to fix column form work since it is the
weakest link due to weak and non compacted part.
FOOTING:
Never assume the soil bearing capacity and at least have one
trial pit to get the real site bearing capacity value.
Check the Factor of Safety used by the Geotechnical engineer for
finding the SBC.
SBC can be increased depending on the N-value and type of
footing that is going to be designed. Vide IS-1893-2000(part-I).
Provide always PLINTH BEAMS resting on natural ground in
orthogonal directions connecting all columns which will help in
many respects like reducing the differential settlement of
foundations, reducing the moments on footings etc.
