Design approach:
The column is designed using an iterative procedure:
(1) An area of reinforcement is chosen.
(2) The column design charts are constructed.
(3) The corresponding slenderness moments are calculated.
(4) The design axis and design ultimate moment are determined .
(5) The design axial force and moment capacity is checked on
the relevant design chart.
(6) The safety factor is calculated for this load case.
(7) The procedure is repeated for each load case.
(8) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the lowest
safety factor about the design axis

For bending about the X-X axis, the maximum design moment is the greatest of:
(a) M2 + Maddx = 2757.8 kNm
(b) emin N = 88.4 kNm
Mx = 2757.8 kNm

For bending about the Y-Y axis, the maximum design moment is the greatest of:
(a) M2 + Maddy = 0.2 kNm
(b) emin N = 88.4 kNm
My = 0.2 kNm

Initial moments:
The initial end moments about the X-X axis:
M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 1488.0 kNm

The initial end moments about the Y-Y axis:

M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
The initial moment near mid-height of the column :
Mi = 0.4M1 + 0.6M2 0.4M2 = 0.0 kNm

Maximum allowable stress and strain:

Allowable compression stress in steel, fsc = 0.87 fy = 400.2 MPa
Allowable tensile stress in steel, fst = 0.87 fy = 400.2 MPa
Allowable tensile strain in steel, ey = fst/Es = 0.0019 m/m
Allowable compressive strain in concrete, ec = 0.0035 m/m
For bending about the weakest axis:
Weakest axis lies at an angle of -0.01 to the X-X axis
Overall dimension perpendicular to weakest axis h-dc = 750mm
Balanced neutral axis depth, xb = ec/(ec+es) (h-dc) =485.7 mm
