    1) Columns can fail in either tension or compression. There is a balanced loading condition where failure can occur in either mode. This occurs when the tension steel yields and the concrete is strained to 0.003. 2) An interaction diagram plots the axial load capacity versus the moment capacity of a column. Any load combination that falls inside the curve is satisfactory, while any outside represents failure. 3) The diagram shows points for the axial capacity (A), balanced loading condition (B), and pure bending capacity (C). Between A and C, the column fails due to a combination of axial load and bending.

    ANALYSIS OF ECCENTRICALLY LOADED COLUMNS

    BALANCED LOADING CONDITION


    Columns normally fail by either tension or compression.
    In between the two lies the so called balanced load
    condition where failure may be of either type.
    Balanced loading occurs when the tension steel just
    reached its yield strain fy/Es and the concrete is
    strained to 0.003. For every column there is always a
    balanced loading situation where the ultimate load
    Pbn placed at an eccentricity eb will produced a
    moment Mbn. If the eccentricity of a column is less
    than its balanced eccentricity eb(e<eb), the column
    fails in compression (compression controls, fs1<fy),
    otherwise tension controls (fs1>fy)
    COLUMN INTERACTION DIAGRAM
    It can be seen that the analysis of columns with statics
    equations is very tedious and complicated. As a result,
    designers resort to diagrams or computer in designing
    columns.
    Interaction diagram is a plot of the axial load Pn that the
    column can carry versus its moment Mn capacity. This
    diagram is very useful for studying the strengths of
    columns with varying proportions of loads and
    moments. Any combination of loading that falls inside
    the curve is satisfactory, whereas any combination that
    falls outside represents failure.
    The diagram is made by plotting the axial load capacity
    of the column at A, then the balanced B, then the
    bending strength of the column if it is subjected to
    pure moment only at C. In between the points A and
    C, the column fails due to combination of axial and
    bending. Point B is called the balanced point. In
    reference to point D, the vertical and horizontal
    dotted lined represents the particular load
    combination of axial load and moment.
    For any column, the balanced “c” is:

    C= 600d/(600+fy)
    EXERCISES:
    1. The column in Figure 1 is reinforced with ten 32-mm bars
    distributed around the perimeter. Load Pn will be applied with
    eccentricity e about the strong axis. Material strengths are fc’ =
    34 MPa and fy = 415 MPa. The neutral axis c = 360 mm from
    extreme concrete in compression. Determine the nominal
    column load and its eccentricity. Find also the ultimate column
    strength ΦPn. Use 2010 NSCP.
    2. The spiral column shown in Figure 2 is reinforced with eight 25-
    mm diameter steel with fy = 414 MPa. Concrete cover
    measured from bar centroid is 60 mm. Concrete strength fc’ =
    27.6 MPa. Use the interaction diagram to determine the
    following.
    a) Determine the nominal load Pn when e = 100mm
    b) Determine the nominal load Pn when e = 200 mm
    c) The required number of 25 mm bars if Pn=2800kN and Mn =
    250 kN.m.
