Question: Design a square column for the loads described below. Select dimensions, longitudinal reinforcement, and transverse reinforcement. Make sure that ACI requirements are satisfied. Neglect slenderness

Design a square column for the loads described below. Select dimensions, longitudinal
reinforcement, and transverse reinforcement. Make sure that ACI requirements
are satisfied. Neglect slenderness effects.
fc'=5000
fy=60ksi
Use either No.6,8, or 9 longitudinal bars (but don't mix bar sizes) and a reinforcement ratio no
greater than 2.5%
Unfactored Loads (or Service Loads) acting at the base of the column:
PD=+95k;,MD=+60ft-k
PL=+70k;,ML=+50ft-k
Pw=+-72k;,Mw=+-200ft-k
Notes:
Use any relevant load combination from Ch.5 of ACI 318-19.
Assume the live loads are already reduced.
Assume Pw and Mw(wind loads) are either both positive or both negative (you must
consider both possibilities). Assume positive axial loads cause compression.
You have two options for checking the strength of your section (pick one):
Use the spreadsheet
Submit relevant printouts from program output.
