Question: A rectangular column section 1 6 in . x 2 0 in . is subjected to P u = 4 4 0 kips, x =

A rectangular column section 16 in.x20 in. is subjected to Pu=440 kips, x=225k-ft, and yy=150k-ft. This column was reinforced with 10- #8 bars. Concrete cover to centroid of adjacent bar is 2.5in. All bars are equally spaced along each column face. Use fc'=6000 and fy=60ksi. Evaluate the adequacy of the column section using
i. Bresler reciprocal load method
ii. Bresler load contour method
iii. PCA load contour method
Ast=10-#8 bars
