Simplified RCC Column Design: An International Version

Abstract

1^st time in the history of engineering a revolutionary idea for RCC column design is unearthed made so easy even on Android,Designing a column conventionally is a challenge to many structural engineers because it is cumbersome, complicated and time consuming in nature. The design method has also changed from time to time. The working stress method used in early 1970s. was improved with the introduction of ultimate design, which remained in vogue from early 1970’s until 1980’s. Now the limit state approach is being used. In these methods, curves and charts are given in different RCC Hand Books apart from these methods there are so many software are also available. Now, based on fundamental principles, A simple Program which simplify the arduous column design procedure, have been developed. The procedure adopted is applicable to all countries’ codes.
