The concrete column shown in figure A2 is reinforced with 8N28 bars. The concrete characteristic compressive strength, f'c = 32MPa and the yiled strength of steel is 500MPa. (i) Determine one of the points defining the interaction diagram for axial compression and bending about the major axis for; a) Zero stress in the tension bars (ii) Sketch the interaction diagram and show where this point is located relative to to other points that are normally used to define the interaction action.
