Scenario One

An engineer has tasked to design a braced rectangular column $250$ mm x $300$ mm in C$30/37$ concrete carries, at ultimate limit state, an axial load of $950$ kN and subjected to a maximum bending moment of $160$ kN m in the direction of the $300$ mm dimension. The engineer needs to determine the longitudinal reinforcement. The column has an effective length of $2215$ mm and is not slender. The main bars are H$25,$ the ties are H$8$ and the cover to all reinforcement is $35$ mm$.$
