Equivalent Eccentricity Method - Column Design Using Mathcad Prime

This document analyzes the equivalent eccentricity method for a rectangular reinforced concrete column subjected to biaxial loads. It provides the input data for the column dimensions and material properties, longitudinal reinforcement details, and applied loads. It then performs the analysis to determine the equivalent eccentricity, moment, and develops interaction diagrams for bending about the X and Y axes.
