w/ 4 - # 8 bars bending around it's x-axis.

Calculate ΦPnmax Due to the fact concrete structures placed monolithically are continuous, a Section R10.3.6
minimum eccentricity or minimum moment is assummed in this calculation, the &
code reduces the maximum axial load by 20% to account for this minimum R10.3.7
moment.
φPn = .8φ [.85 f ' c (Ag − Ast ) + Ast f y ] (Eq. 1-1) Section 10.3.6.2
Eq (10-2)
Ag = b × h = 12"×12"
Ag = 144 in2
Calculate points It is possible to derive a group of equations to evaluate the strength of columns
on curve subjected to combined bending and axial loads. These equations are tedious to
use, therefore interaction diagrams for columns are generally computed by
assuming a series of strain distributions. These strain distributions correspond fo
a particular point on the interaction diagram, P and M.

Reference
With the wide range of possible "Z" factors, every designer must understand there
are four mandatory points that must be calculated for each interaction
diagram.These four points "Z" factors are 0, -0.5,-1.0,,-2.5, the importance of each
point will now be discussed.
Z = -0.5 (fs1 = -0.5fy, εs1 = -0.5εy) This strain distribution affects the length of
tension lap splice in a column & is customarily plotted on an interaction diagram.
Z = -1.0 (fs1 = -fy, εs1 = -εy) This is the point of balanced failure. This strain
distribution marks the change from compression failures originating by crushing
of the compression surface of the section to tension failures initiated by yield of
the longitudinal reinforcement.
- Also marks beginning of transition zone for Φ for columns in which Φ increases
from 0.65 or 0.70 up to 0.90
