Force in layer 1; Fy1 = Ny  Abar  sy1 = -262.3 kN

Moment of resistance of layer 1; MRdy1 = Fy1  (h / 2 - dy1) = 26.0 kNm
Strain in layer 2; ey2 = ecu3  (1 - dy2 / y) = -0.00260
Stress in layer 2; sy2 = max(-1fyd, Es  ey2) = -434.8 N/mm2
Force in layer 2; Fy2 = 2  Abar  sy2 = -174.8 kN
Moment of resistance of layer 2; MRdy2 = Fy2  (h / 2 - dy2) = 0.0 kNm
Strain in layer 3; ey3 = ecu3  (1 - dy3 / y) = 0.00143
Stress in layer 3; sy3 = min(fyd, Es  ey3) - h  fcd = 271.0 N/mm2

Moment of resistance of layer 3; MRdy3 = Fy3  (h / 2 - dy3) = 16.2 kNm
Resultant concrete/steel force; Fy = 18.9 kN
PASS - This is within half of one percent of the applied axial load
Combined moment of resistance
Moment of resistance about y axis; MRdy = 76.0 kNm
PASS - The moment capacity about the y axis exceeds the design bending moment

Moment capacity about z axis with axial load NEd

The column is; square; and is doubly symmetrically reinforced, therefore the moment capacity about the z axis is equal to that
about the y axis.
Moment of resistance about z axis; MRdz = MRdy = 76.0 kNm

Biaxial bending
Determine if a biaxial bending check is required (5.8.9(3))
Ratio of column slenderness ratios; ratiol = max(ly, lz) / min(ly, lz) = 1.00
Eccentricity in direction of y axis; ey = MEdz / NEd = 1585.7 mm
Eccentricity in direction of z axis; ez = MEdy / NEd = 1585.7 mm
Equivalent depth; heq = iy  (12) = 300 mm
Equivalent width; beq = iz  (12) = 300 mm
Relative eccentricity in direction of y axis; erel_y = ey / beq = 5.286
Relative eccentricity in direction of z axis; erel_z = ez / heq = 5.286
Ratio of relative eccentricities; ratioe = min(erel_y, erel_z) / max(erel_y, erel_z) = 1.000
ratioe > 0.2 - Biaxial bending check is required
Biaxial bending (5.8.9(4))
Design axial resistance of section; NRd = (Ac  fcd) + (As  fyd) = 1974.3 kN
Ratio of applied to resistance axial loads; ratioN = NEd / NRd = 0.010
Exponent a; a = 1.00
Biaxial bending utilisation; UF = (MEdy / MRdy)a + (MEdz / MRdz)a = 0.793
PASS - The biaxial bending capacity is adequate
