Axial Load (Pu)
Critical moment along X-X axis (Mux')
Critical moment along Y-Y axis (Muy')

Unsupported Length (L)= Clear length/height between floor n lower level of celling
Effective length (Le) = 0.65 * L
Least dimension (D)
Slenderness ratio (Le/D)

Check for minimum eccentricity (emin)

emin = L/500 +d/30

Mux = Pu * emin
Muy = PU * emin

Design as axial load with biaxial bending

Assumption : Bars are distributed equally four sides
Effective cover d'

about x -x axis d'/D

Assume the % of steel (Pt)
Pt/fck
Pu/(fck*b*d)
Mu/(fck*b*D2)
for square column
Mux1

about y -y axis d'/D

Mu/(fck*b*D2)
Muy1

Pz = 0.45*fck*Ac+0.75*fy*Asc
Pu/Pz
Range of Pu/Pz = 0.2 - 0.8 and αn=1 - 2
By interpolation, α

(Mux/Mu1)^α + (Muy/Muy1)^α
Area of longitudional reinforcement = Pt * Ag
