A 20 in.x20 in. square concrete column is reinforced with four #9 bars, on each opposite face. A normal weight concrete with fc=4500 psi; and grade 60 steel is used. Compute:
i) The concentric axial-load capacity Po and maximum axial-load capacity Pn(max).(5 points)
ii) The ultimate axial load Pv, bending moment Mu, and corresponding eccentricity eb, for balanced failure.
iii) The , ultimate axial load Pu, bending moment Mw, and corresponding eccentricity e, for the limiting tension failure
(10 points)
A 2 0 in . x 2 0 in . square concrete column is
