Column definition
Column depth (larger column dim); h = 300 mm
Nominal cover to all reinforcement (longer dim); ch = 35 mm
Depth to tension steel; h' = h - ch – Ldia – Dcol/2 = 247 mm
Column width (smaller column dim); b = 300 mm
Nominal cover to all reinforcement (shorter dim); cb = 35 mm
Depth to tension steel; b' = b - cb - Ldia – Dcol/2 = 247 mm
Characteristic strength of reinforcement; fy = 460 N/mm2
Characteristic strength of concrete; fcu = 35 N/mm2

Design moments
Design moment; Mdesign = max (abs(Mx) , Mxmin) = 37.8 kNm
Set up section dimensions for design:-
Section depth; D = h = 300 mm
Depth to "tension" steel; d = h' = 247 mm
Section width; B = b = 300 mm

NOTE
Note:- the section dimensions used in the following calculation are:-
Section width (parallel to axis of bending); B = 300 mm
Section depth perpendicular to axis of bending); D = 300 mm
Depth to "tension" steel (symmetrical); d = 247 mm
Compression steel yields (0.9x<D)
Determine correct moment of resistance
NR =ceiling(if(xcalc<D/0.9, NR1 , NR2 ),0.001kN) = 934.8 kN
