Problem1: For the column section shown below, a compression point load P is applied on the X-axis with an eccentricity ex. Six No.9 longitudinal bars are used. fc'=4,000 psi. fy=60,000. The distance from the column surface to the center of outermost No.9 bars is 2.5 in. at all four sides of the section. Assume the depth of compression zone c=8 in. at the strength limit state. Please compute the unique pair of nominal axial strength Pn and nominal moment strength Mn. And compute the corresponding eccentricity ex.
Problem 1 : For the column section shown below, a
