4) Iterating on a value of c until equations 1 and 2 are equal c is found to be c = 44.58

inches.

a = 0.85 • c=0.85 • 44.58 = 37.89 inches

5) Assuming the extreme fiber strain equals 0.003 and c = 44.58 inches, the steel
stresses and strains can be calculated. When the bar strain exceeds the yield strain
then, f s = f y :

Substituting the above values of the compression block depth, a, and the rebar
stresses into equations Eqn. 1 and Eqn. 2 give

Pn1 = 3148 k

6) Determine if φ is tension controlled or compression controlled.

εt = 0.00332 , ε y = 0.0021
