A short column shown below is subjected to an eccentric loading. A uniaxial bending is caused about y axis. The material strengths are fy=60ksi and fc'=5ksi. The Young's modulus of steel is 29000 ksi .
Ast=6No.9 bars
(a) Determine the balanced failure point, i.e.,Pb and Mb.
(b) Determine a combination of P and M with c=50'' that can lead to the column failure. Also calculate the corresponding e. Discuss if the failure is governed by compression failure of concrete or tension failure of rebars.
