minimum column dimension
minimum column dimension
(OP)
Hi all,
I was reading ACI 314R-11, It is specified that the minimum column dimension is 250 mm or the vertical distance between lateral supports over (10 ,9 or 8, depend on location). When I rechecked ACI 318 I didn't notice any note regarding this issue. Note that for a 2 story building with 3m ceiling height a column with width 30 cm minimum can be a bit large.
So is there any exact minimum dimension. Thank uyou!

In my case kL/r in less than 100.
So I can neglect the limitation of 314 and design the column only according to 318
