Design a bi-axial short column by limit state method to carry Ultimate load of 1500 kN. Ultimate moment of 110 kN-m about major axis bisecting the depth of column and 50 kN-m about minor axis bisecting the width of column. The unsupported length of column is 4.5m. The column is fixed at one end and hinged at the other. Use M25 grade of concrete and Fe 500 grade of steel. Show details of reinforcement in plan and sectional elevation.
