SUBJECT: REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN (QUIZ #3 BIAXIAL COLUMN BY LOAD CONTOUR METHOD)
INSTRUCTOR: ENGR. RICARDO T. CABRERA
PROBLEM: The 12 x 20 in column shown in Fig. 12.16 is reinforced with eight #9 bars arranged around the column perimeter, providing an area Ast = 8.00 in².
A factored load Pu of 275 kips is to be applied with eccentricities ey = 3 in and ex = 6 in, as shown. Material strength are f'c = 4 ksi and fy = 60 ksi. Check the
adequacy of the trial design using the load contour method (b = 305 mm, h = 508 mm, Ast = 5160 mm², ey = 76 mm,
ex = 152 mm, f'c = 28 Mpa, Fy = 414 Mpa, Pu = 1220 kN).

BY LOAD CONTOUR METHOD

for X axis bending with Pu = 1220 kN
Mu = 326.84 kN m from the program
for Y axis bending with Pu = 1220 kN
Mu = 158.85 kN m from the program
The factored load moments about the X and Y axis respectively are
Mnx = 1220x 0.152 = 185.44kN m
Mny = 1220 x0.076 = 92.72 kN m

(185.44/ 326.84)^1.15 + (92.72/158.85)^1.15 = 1.06 > 1.00

This is close enough to 1.00 that the design would be considered
safe by the load contour method.

(185.44/ 326.84)^1.00 + (92.72/158.85)^1.00= 1.15 > 1.00

This is not close enough to 1.00 that the design would not be considered
safe by the load contour method.
