Determine the neutral axis depth yp for P of zero, corresponding to equal tension<br />

and compression forces across the composite section. Redefine a neutral axis depth,<br />

y¢p = dc - yp, which corresponds to an axis symmetrically placed with respect to yp<br />

around the centre of the section. The net compressive resistance of the section with<br />

neutral axis y¢p corresponds to no change in moment resistance because the net<br />

moment effect of the section contained between depths yp and y¢p is zero, as illustrated<br />

in Fig. 22.2.<br />

It may be shown that the axial resistance of the section (termed P0), corresponding<br />

to depth y¢p, is, in fact, the axial resistance of the concrete section ignoring the<br />

contribution of the steel member and the reinforcement. Hence,<br />

P0 = 0.45fcudcbc<br />

(22.5)<br />

Dividing by Pu from Equation (22.1) gives a non-dimensional ordinate on the<br />

moment/axial-force diagram, corresponding to the moment resistance of the composite<br />

section. This ordinate is also equivalent to the concrete contribution factor<br />

for major axis bending, and can also be used for minor axis bending. For stocky<br />

columns it also corresponds to the appropriate value of K2 in the Basu and<br />

Sommerville approach. 4<br />

For slender columns, account is to be taken of the moments arising from eccentricity<br />

of axial load in addition to the applied moments. The Basu and Sommerville<br />

method4 has been codified in BS 5400: Part 5. 1 Because the method uses empirical<br />

formulae for K1, K2 and K3 as a function of the slenderness of the column, it appears<br />

to be relatively complicated, but it may be simplified by taking K3 as zero so that<br />

the moment resistance at any value of axial load is given by:
