Mathcad - 13-Axially Load Column Design

This document provides an example of designing a reinforced concrete column to support an axial load of 1350 kN. It includes calculations to determine the required cross-sectional area and steel reinforcement for both a rectangular and circular column section. For the rectangular column, the calculations result in dimensions of 300x300 mm and a steel area of 24.1 cm^2. For the circular column, a diameter of 350 mm and steel area of 10.8 cm^2 are calculated to support the load. Both column designs are verified to have an adequate capacity for the 1350 kN load.
