A very short 12 in × 12 in concrete column is axially loaded. The concrete has an ultimate compressive strength of 4000 lb/in2.
(a) Determine the ultimate load the unreinforced concrete column can theoretically support before it fails by crushing.
(b) Assume that the column is reinforced with eight No. 8 reinforcing bars (cross-sectional area = 0.79 in2 per bar) placed vertically. Steel has an ultimate strength of 80 000 lb/in2. Determine the ultimate load the reinforced concrete column can theoretically support before it fails by crushing.
