Earthquakemodule 13

This document provides an example of using Bresler's reciprocal load method to analyze a reinforced concrete column subjected to biaxial bending and axial load. The method involves calculating the column's axial load capacity (Pn) for bending about the x-axis only (Pnx), bending about the y-axis only (Pny), and no bending (P0). These values are then used in Bresler's reciprocal equation to determine Pn. The example calculates Pnx, Pny, P0, and Pn for a given column and load and finds that the column is adequate to support the factored loads.
