Determine the location of the neutral axis, c, for the following tied column when the largest strain in the concrete is 0.003 and the strain in the tension reinforcement is 0.003.b = 14 in.h = 24 in.Clear cover to ties = 1.5 in.Number of longitudinal bars = 6Size of longitudinal bars = No. 9Size of ties = No. 4Concrete strength = 7,500 psiYield strength of longitudinal bars = 60,000 psiYield strength of ties = 40,000 psi
