Column definition
Column depth (larger column dim); h = 400 mm
Nominal cover to all reinforcement (longer dim); ch = 40 mm
Depth to tension steel; h' = h - ch – Ldia – Dcol/2 = 340 mm
Column width (smaller column dim); b = 400 mm
Nominal cover to all reinforcement (shorter dim); cb = 40 mm
Depth to tension steel; b' = b - cb - Ldia – Dcol/2 = 340 mm
Characteristic strength of reinforcement; fy = 500 N/mm2
Characteristic strength of concrete; fcu = 30 N/mm2

Ultimate loads
Short column supporting an approximately symmetrical arrangement of beams.
Design ultimate axial load; N = 3650 kN
Design
Total area of column steel required; Asc_req = max ((N - 0.35fcuhb) / (f2msfy ), 0.4hb/100) = 5881 mm2
from BS8110: Pt 1: eqn 39; where; f2ms = 0.67
Total area of steel ; Ascol = Dcol2 / 4 2 (Lncol + (Lncol -2)) = 5890.5 mm2
Area of reinforcement provided; Asc_prov = Ascol = 5890 mm2
Area in "tension" face; Ast = Dcol2 / 4 Lncol = 1963 mm2
Area of reinforcement provided exceeds area of reinforcement required OK
