Column Design: Input

The document provides design calculations for a symmetrical rectangular column according to BS 8110:2005. It gives input parameters such as loads, material properties, and dimensions. It then shows the calculations to determine the required steel reinforcement area and outputs the recommended reinforcement.

where As = Ast = Asc: dc=min(h,0.9x)
