Encased I sections or filled hollow sections carries more load. In cased columns,
the advantages derived from the properties of concrete and steel are used. The
concrete is strong in stronger in compression and it provides greater rigidity. The
solid concrete casing assists in carrying the load and the entire load is resisted by
concrete and steel. The design of the above columns is currently based on IS
11384-1985. As the above code is on working stress method the guide lines given
in BS5950, Part I is presented here. The role of concrete is that it acts as a fire
protection for the encased steel columns and also prevents the column from
buckling about the weak axis. As per the BS5950, Part I the column must satisfy
the following specifications.
(i) The steel section is either a single rolled or fabricated I or H section
with equal flanges, channels and compound sections can also be used.
(ii) The steel section should not exceed 1000mmx500mm. The dimension
100mm is in the direction of web.
(iii) Primary structural connections should be made in the steel section.
(iv) The steel section is unpainted and free from dirt, grease, rust, scale etc.
(v) The steel section is encased in concrete of at least Grade 20, to BS
8110.
(vi) The cover on the steel is to be not less than 50mm. The corners may be
chamfered.
(vii) The concrete extends the full length of the member and is thoroughly
