    This document provides instructions for a concrete design assignment. Students are asked to: 1. Calculate 7 points on an interaction diagram for a tied column with given dimensions, material properties, and rebar configuration under different loading conditions ranging from pure compression to pure tension. 2. Generate the same interaction diagram using a PCA column design software and compare the results. 3. The document also provides notes on useful PCA commands to input section properties, materials, reinforcement, loads, and solve the problem.

    A. Compute the following 7 points on the design interaction
    diagram for the tied column shown below.

    1. Pure compression
    2. Strain in the bottom steel layer: t = 0
    3. Strain in the bottom steel layer: t = -0.5y
    4. Balanced condition
    5. Tension controlled condition
    6. Pure flexure
    7. Pure tension

    Assume: bending is about the weak axis


    f’c=28 MPa and fy=420 MPa
    Concrete cover to rebar center= 75mm

    B. Compare the interaction diagram above with PCA column
