Pb = 1685.52984

ƩM=0 : Pby-Cs'(d-d)-Cc(d-a/2) =0

y= 333.662342 eb = 196.1623

Step 4. Compute Pnx (ex=0 and ey=558)

since (ey=558)>(eb= 257), tension controls

Assume c= 111.75 mm OK!

CONDITIONS:
1). εs > εy: OK!

2). ε's<εy: OK!

ƩF= 0:
Pnx= 620
ƩMT= 0:
 Pnx= 474

Step 5. Compute Pny (ex=532 and ey=0)

since (ey=532 mm) >( eb=257 mm), tension controls

Assumed c= 111.85 mm OK!

CONDITIONS:
1). εs > εy: OK!
2). ε's<εy: OK!

ƩF=0
Pny= 622
ƩMT= 0:
Pny= 475

Step 6. Compute Po (ex=0 and ey=0)

Po=.85fc'(Ag-Ast)+Astfy

Ast= 5890.3125
P o= 4376.58417

Step 7. Apply Bresler's reciprocal formula

1/𝑃𝑛=1/𝑃𝑛�+1/𝑃 0.0029921316
𝑛𝑦−1/𝑃�
P n= 334.209902
Bresler's reciprocal equation does not apply!

Step 8. Use Bresler's load contour formula

〖 (𝑀𝑛�/█(𝑀��@@)) 〗 ^1.75+
for circular or square columns
(〖
〖� /𝑀�𝑦)
�� 〗 ^1.75=1.0

Mnx= 216.874286
Mny= 206.732857
Mox= 345.922512

〖 (𝑀𝑛�/█(𝑀��@@)) 〗 ^1.75+

(〖

�� 〗 ^1.75= 0.88096575
therefore column section is adequate!
