Timber Circular Columns 1

This document summarizes the design of a 300mm diameter circular softwood column (Post Column PC09). It includes calculations to check the column's capacity for axial compression, axial tension, bending, and combined loading is adequate. The calculations consider factors like the wood grade, size effects, load duration, and moisture content. The column passes the checks for individual and combined axial compression and tension loading but fails the combined compression and bending check.
