300×300 mm column, 4#22 longitudinal bars, #10 ties at 300 mm spacing. 3. Solved Exercise 2: Column Under Combined Axial Load and Uniaxial Bending Problem: Check if a 400×400 mm tied column with 8#25 bars (total (A_{st} = 8 \times 491 = 3928 , \text{mm}^2)) can resist: [ P_u = 1800 , \text{kN}, \quad M_u = 120 , \text{kN·m} ] Given: (f'_c = 28 , \text{MPa}), (f_y = 420 , \text{MPa}), cover = 40 mm.
(using interaction diagrams or simplified)
Let (\rho_g = 0.015) (1.5% of (A_g)). [ A_{st} = 0.015 A_g ]
