This document details the design of a reinforced concrete column for a town house project in Bukit Seputeh. It calculates the required dimensions and reinforcement based on the applied axial load and moments. The column is determined to be a slender unbraced column requiring biaxial bending design, and the reinforcement of 2 #16 bars each face is designed to resist the ultimate loading conditions within code limits.
