Question: Assess an axially loaded element ( span 1 . 8 m , 1 5 0 x 1 5 0 mm , provided with 4 main

Assess an axially loaded element ( span 1.8m,150 x 150mm, provided with 4 main bars of diameter 12 mm and stirrups 8mm diameter at 150mm c/c), using first EC2 and then the Compressive Force Path (CFP) method. Assume cover is 30mm and there is no axial force. Make assumptions, where necessary.
Vary the level of axial loading and see how it affects the flexural capacity of your member.
Provide a diagram showing the variation of flexural capacity with axial loading.
