Problem 8 - Analysis of Eccentrically Loaded Column with Unknown c value

Prepared by: Engr. RANDY G. POLICARPIO

The column is reinforced with ten No. 36 bars distributed around the perimeter as shown in the figure. Load P n will be applied
with eccentricity e = 200 mm about the strong axis. Material sttengths are f'c = 41.4 MPa and fy = 517 MPa. Find the
axial load and moment strength. Use NSCP 2015.
