Part 3– Column Design, Foundations types
• Design the columns with eccentric loading in grade 275 steel. The reactions from beam A and Beam B are
given in the figure below. Apply the moment on the column due to the eccentricity as stated in BS5950
HNC/HND Construction and the Built 4
• Prepare design information required for the given scenario, utilising piled foundations and steel columns.
Also calculate the loads on the piles and select a suitable diameter of reinforced concrete pile.
• Discuss the benefits of using Building Information Modelling in the design workflow.
• Assess the most effective foundation type for a given scenario in terms of ease and speed of construction, economics, safety and environmental factors.
