Question: A 4 0 in . x 3 6 in . rectangular column is subjected to a factored axial load of P u = 1 7

A 40 in.x36 in. rectangular column is subjected to a factored axial load of Pu=1728 kip and a factored bending moment Mu=3630kip-ft. The moment is applied to the column and induced bending in its short dimension (i.e.h=36in. for the interaction diagrams). The specified concrete and yield strength are 6ksi and 60ksi respectively. Using the interaction diagram below do the following:
A. Determine the required reinforcement ratio of the column to resist the loads
B. Select a reinforcement layout for the column
C. Using the layout selected in part b), check if requirements for longitudinal reinforcement in the column are satisfied
A 4 0 in . x 3 6 in . rectangular column is
