Question

A concrete column section of size 300 mm×500 mm300\text{ mm} \times 500\text{ mm} as shown in the figure is subjected to both axial compression and bending along the major axis. The depth of the neutral axis (xux_u) is 1.11.1 times the depth of the column, as shown.
Column section and strain distribution
(Figure NOT to scale)
The maximum compressive strain (εc\varepsilon_c) at highly compressive extreme fiber in concrete, where there is no tension in the section, is ______________×10−3\times 10^{-3} (rounded off to 2 decimal places).
