Question: For the column cross section shown below, use a strain - compatibility solution to compute five points on the nominal interaction diagram corresponding to points

For the column cross section shown below, use a strain-compatibility solution to compute five points on the
nominal interaction diagram corresponding to points 1 to 5 in Fig. 11-22 in the textbook (also shown
below). Plot the interaction diagram
Material strengths are Gr.60 steel and normal weight concrete with fc of 5000. Assume interior
exposure conditions. The points 1 to 5 are:
Point points): Maximum axial load (a uniform compressive strain).
Point 2(20 points): A strain diagram corresponding to incipient cracking, passing through a
compressive strain of 0.003 on the top face and zero strain on the bottom face.
Point 3(20 points): The limiting compression-controlled strain distribution, which has a
compressive strain of 0.003 on the top face and the yield tensile strain at the centroid of the
reinforcement layer nearest to the tensile face (bottom).
Point 4(20 points): The limiting tension-controlled strain distribution, which has a compressive
strain of 0.003 on the top face and a tensile strain of 0.003+ety in the reinforcement layer nearest
to the tensile face.
Point 5(20 points): A uniform tensile strain of ety in the steel with the concrete cracked.
