Q.: The circular reinforced concrete column shown is 400 mm diameter

reinforced with six bars (ɸ = 25 mm, Ast = 6×491 = 2946 mm2). The column
is subjected to a compressive axial load of P = 1.5 MN. fc' = 35 MPa and fy
= 400 MPa. Calculate the stresses and strains in concrete and steel.
Ec=4730√fc’, n = Es /Ec
P=fc× Ac+n ×fc ×Ast=fc(Ac+nAst)=fc(Ag-Ast+nAst)=
fc[Ag+(n-1)Ast]=fcAt , f s = n. f c ,
