Situation 1. The section of a column is shown in the figure.
For this problem, b1 = 300 mm, b2 = 180 mm, d1 = 250
mm, d2 = 350 mm, fc = 28 MPa, fy = 414 MPa.

concrete area measured from y-axis.
A. 281 B. 262 C. 274 D. 253
2. Determine the location of the plastic neutral axis of the
column measured from the y-axis, in mm. Neglect the
area of concrete occupied by the steel.
A. 272 B. 302 C. 282 D. 292
3. Determine the factored moment Mu, in kNm, due to a
factored load Pu = 3200 kN applied 400 mm from the y-
axis. Assume that the column is reinforced such that
plastic neutral axis is 290 mm from the y-axis.
A. 352 B. 387 C. 326 D. 376

Part (2): Plastic centroid
Plastic centroid is the location of the resultant force
produced by the steel and concrete.
Fconcrete = 0.85fc Ac
Fsteel = fy As

x = xyy = 291.88 mm

Part (3):
e = 400 290 = 110 mm = 0.11 m
Mu = Pu e = 3200(0.11) = 352 kNm
