Bending moment (kNm)
Thus:
Ac = b . h
= .25 ×.4
= 0.1000 m2
h' = h - d'x
= .4 - .04
= 0.3600 m
b' = b - d'y
= .25 - .04
= 0.2100 m
Assumptions:
(2) The section is symmetrically reinforced.
(3) The specified design axial loads include the self-weight of the column.
(4) The design axial loads are taken constant over the height of the column.

Design approach:
The column is designed using the following procedure:
(1) The column design charts are constructed.
(2) The design axis and design ultimate moment is determined .
(3) The steel required for the design axial force and moment is read from
the relevant design chart.
(4) The area steel perpendicular to the design axis is read from the relevant
design chart.
Check column slenderness:
End fixity and bracing for bending about the X-X axis:
The column is braced.
Designer specified ßx = 0.75
End fixity and bracing for bending about the Y-Y axis:
The column is braced.
Designer specified ßy = 0.75
Effective column height:
lex = ßx . Lo
= .75 ×3.575
= 2.681 m
ley = ßy . Lo
= .75 ×3.575
= 2.681 m

Minimum Moments for Design:
Check for mininum eccentricity:
For bi-axial bending, it is only necessary to ensure that the eccentricity
exceeds the minimum about one axis at a time.
For the worst effect, apply the minimum eccentricity about the minor axis:

Initial moments:
The column is bent in double curvature about the X-X axis:
M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 67.6 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 90.6 kNm
The column is bent in double curvature about the Y-Y axis:

Design of column section for ULS:
Through inspection:
The critical section lies at the bottom end of the column.
The column is bi-axially bent. Since the code does not provide specific provisions
for this case, the provisions of the British Standard BS8110 - 1997 are used: 3.8.4.5
The column may be designed to withstand an increased
moment about a single axis:
Mx/h' = 251.6 > My/b' = 75.6
