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 if the column is acceptable for this application. Calculate the value of Mu and Pu.

Design criteria for structural loading

The different loads such as loads due to self-weight (dead load) and external loads such as live load, wind loads, seismic load, snow load, and other loads and load combinations that influence the design of a building are called structural loading. The nature of the applied load differs from changes in the location, design, and type of materials used. The design criteria require that structures must be designed and constructed to be able to withstand all load types that are expected to act upon the structure and render its usage for the designated purpose. The structural members such as beams, slabs, columns, and foundations help the structure to withstand the applied load. There are different institutes such as ASCE and ACI that provide building design codes to assure minimum safety requirements and quality of the structures.
