CONCLUSION
The computed result shows an acceptable comparison with the independent
result.
HAND CALCULATION
1) Because e = 167.46 mm < (2/3)d = 326.67 mm, assume compression failure. This
assumption will be checked later. Calculate the distance to the neutral axis for a
balanced condition, cb:
Position of neutral axis at balance condition:
0.003 • 2x105 600
cb = dt = ( 490 ) = 305 mm
0.003 • 2x10 + f yk

Cc = 0.85f ck ab = 0.85 • 25 / 1.5 • 350a = 4,958a
