9.15 Using the column interaction diagrams in Appendix A ( fc  4000 psi and f y  60,000 psi) with ρt
approximately equal to 2%, design square columns with equal reinforcement on all sides to carry
each of the following loads and select the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement:
(a) Pu = 2000 kips and Mu = 160 ft-kips
(b) Pu = 1000 kips and Mu = 220 ft-kips
(c) Pu = 500 kips and Mu = 160 ft-kips

(a) Pu = 2000 kips and Mu = 160 ft-kips

From Graph A.7 (   0.8 ), g  0.0205, giving Ast = 0.0205  841 = 17.24 in2. Use 12 No. 11 bars,
which provide Ast = 18.72 in2

Column ties:
Use No. 4 ties (for No. 11 bars and larger)
Spacing must exceed largest of 48  tie diameter, 16  longitudinal bar diameter, and least
