Question 1
What does a balanced condition in columns signify?
- Only steel yielding occurs
- Only concrete crushing occurs
- Both steel yielding and concrete crushing occur
💡 Hint: Remember the definition of a balanced condition.
Question 2
True or False: An eccentric load does not create additional bending moments.
- True
- False
💡 Hint: What happens if a load is applied off-center?

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with challenges.
Question 1
A reinforced concrete column has a height of 3 meters and dimensions of 0.3 m x 0.2 m. If subjected to an axial load of 100 kN and a moment of 24 kNm, calculate the eccentricity for a balanced condition and determine the required area of steel reinforcement.
💡 Hint: Sketch the stress-strain diagram for visual support.
Question 2
How would you redesign a column if the calculated eccentricity exceeds the maximum design limits to ensure it remains within the balanced condition?
💡 Hint: Consider both geometry and material properties in your redesign.
