Find the required rectangular cross-sectional area for a tied reinforced concrete column which should support a load of 300 tons. Use 4000 psi concrete, ultimate steel stress of 60,000 psi and 4% steel.
Title : Cross section area for given reinforced rectangular concrete column.
Here we have converted "tons" into "Kilonewtons" and "psi" into "N/mm²" for only your better convenience and understanding.
Please guys don't get confuse in units. Other hand we have used formula to calculate area of rectangular concrete column by substituting the given values.
Always remember in design any structure the providing term should be always greater than the required term. As here we have calculated provided area(69000 mm² ) that is greater than required area (63638.11 mm²).
And lastly do upvote guys and do comments for further clarification on subject matter.
