Question

A short rectangular column 300 mm on one side and 400 mm on the other side.  It is reinforced with 10-20-mm-diameter longitudinal bars equally distributed to the shorter sides of the column.  Use f’c = 21 MPa and fy = 420 MPa.

  1. Determine the nominal axial strength (kN) of the column as per NSCP 2015.
  2. Determine the required spacing (mm) of laterial ties 10-mm-dia. 
  3. Determine the location of the plastic centroid (mm) measured from one short edge.
