Design of RCC columns for torsion effect in RCDC

1: Can RCDC design RCC columns for torsion effect (torsional moment or moment about longitudinal axis) ? 

2: As per which clause of Indian code used for the same, as Indian clause not clearly say for design of columns for torsion. 

3: Does RCDC incorporate the effect of torsion in combined interaction ratio or utility ratio ?

  • If the RCC beam is subjected to heavy axial load and biaxial moment, then the RCDC design that beam as a column as per above snap, than why not  vice versa process is applied for column as per  IS 456 clause 41.3 and 41.4 by taking value of equivalent moment and shear, and design the column for torsion for that value of equivalent shear and moment ? and design the longitudinal and lateral reinforcement for the same ? 

    Is this approach correct?
