ii) Calculation of effective elastic flexural stiffness of the section

About major axis

(EI)ex = Ea*Iax+0.8*Ecd*Icx+Es*Isx

Where Ecd = Ecm/γc

Non dimensional slenderness

λ= (Ppu / Pcr )^ 1/2

Value of Ppu = (γa=γc=γs=1.0)

Ppu = Aa*fy+αc*Ac*(fck)cy+As*fsk
Ppu = 11130366.9756 N

(Pcr)x = π^2 *(EI)x/h2

(Pcr)x = 916142908.473 KN

Resistance to compostite column under axial compression.

Buckling resistance should satisfy the following conditions

Pb< X Pp

Pb = Buckling load
X = Reduction factor for column buckling
Pp = Plastic resistance of the section 8229.9673 KN

X values
About major axis
αx = 0.34

Xx = 1/{Φx+(Φx^2-λx)^1/2}
Φx = 0.5[1+αx(λx-0.2)+λx^2]
Φx = 0.49081252904

Xx = 1.03189763976 >1 1

About minor axis

 αy = 0.49
Xy = 1/{Φy+(Φy^2-λy)^1/2}
Φy = 0.5[1+αy(λy-0.2)+λy^2]
Φy = 0.58393278003

Xy = 0.93590771995

(Pb)x = Xx Pp
(Pb)x = 8229.96729514 KN okay

(Pb)y = Xy Pp
(Pb)y = 7702.48992648 okay

Hence lower the value of plastic resistance against buckling Pb = 7702.49 KN

Whereas column has to survive the axial load Pu of 6260 KN only
