Using the column interaction diagrams in Appendix A (Concrete strength = 5 ksi, steel reinforcement yield strength= 60 ksi,) with longitudinal reinforcement ration of approximately 2%, design square columns with equal reinforcement on all sides to carry each of the following loads and select the longitudinal and transverse reinforcement: 1. Pu = 2000 kips and Mu = 160 ft.kips 2. Pu = 1000 kips and Mu = 220 ft.kips 3. Pu = 500 kips and Mu = 160 ft.kips
