Problem 1. The column cross section shown in Fig. 1 is cast with fo' = 4,000 psi and reinforced with steel of fy = 60,00
Problem 1 (cont'd). Determine the following for the column cross section: (a) (10 points) What is nearly the maximum tie spacing (in.) allowed for No. 4 ties, per AC1318. Shear does not govern. (b) (10 points) Determine the maximum allowed service moments for dead and live (i.e., Mo and ML) of the column, if the following axial forces are present: Po = 152 k PL = 228 k Mo = ?? k-ft ML = ?? k-ft Note that the live-to-dead load ratio of 1.5 is to be maintained (e.g., PL/P) = 1.5) (c) (10 points) Determine the maximum required axial force (Pu) and moment (Mu) that can be carried by the column if an eccentricity of 7-in is present. (d) (10 points) Check the adequacy of the column under Pu = 750 k and My = 288 k-ft. (e) (10 points) If the column is subjected to concentric loads, determine the maximum required axial force (Pu) and moment (Mu) that it can be carried. (f) (10 points) If the column acts like a beam (i.e., pure bending condition), determine the maximum required axial force (Pu) and moment (Mu) that it can be carried. (g) (10 points) Explain/define/describe the “balanced condition in the context of reinforced concrete. Determine the maximum required axial force (Pu) and moment (Mu) that can be carried by the column under the “balanced condition. (h) (10 points) Re-do or re-calculate P, and M, for part (e) for the column, however, instead of being reinforced with 4 No. 11 + 4 No. 10, the column is being reinforced with a total amount of 6 No. 11 +6 No.5 rebars (or 3 No. 11 + 3 No. 5, each end).
