Given a concrete column that would be required to support loads of Pu=400kips and Mu=50 kip-feet, we will determine the column interaction curve and decide if the column is adequate for this particular application. The column will be a 14”x14” square, tied column with #9 bars at the corners. The center of the reinforcement in each corner is 3” from each of the sides. The f’c of the concrete is 4 ksi and the reinforcement is Grade 60. Determine the maximum compression load that the concrete column can support

The f’c of the concrete is 4 ksi and the reinforcement is Grade 60.
Determine the maximum compression load that the concrete column can support. Do not include a reduction resistance factor or for any small moment applied to the column. In other words, use the basic strength of the concrete plus the basic strength of the steel.
