Question: A 3 0 0 5 0 0 m m column, bent about its strong axis in single curvature, has l u = 5 m ,

A 300500mm column, bent about its strong axis in single curvature, has lu=5m,k=0.8,Pu=2225kN,PD=535kN,M1=110kN-m,M2=135kN-m. properties are fc=25MPa and fy =420MPa.
(a) Assuming bars are placed along two faces with the centers at 40mm from the column face, select reinforcement for the column.
(b) How would the design change if the column was bent in double curvature? (You do NOT need to select new reinforcement or even do any significant calculations (although a few may help you explain), just qualitatively describe what would change and why).
