Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a column section adhering to IS 13920 standards for a building in a Zone V area. Consider fck = 20 MPa and Ag = 400 cm². What transverse reinforcement would you specify?

💡 Hint: Refer to the detailed spacing required for ties in the standards.

Question 2

A building's column failed during an earthquake, and analysis shows inadequate transverse reinforcement was the cause. Propose a detailing plan that could strengthen the column.

💡 Hint: Evaluate existing configurations and suggest enhancements based on seismic codes.
