The column cross section shown in Fig. $1$ is cast with $f_c\text{'}=4,000$ psi and reinforced with steel of $f_y=60,000$ psi. The total amount of reinforcement, $A_{st}=11\mathrm{.}32i{n}^2,$ comprised of $2No.11+2No.10$ at each end of the section. The reinforcement ratio, $\frac{A_{st}}{A_g}=0\mathrm{.}03$ or ${}_g=0\mathrm{.}03.$
