Assuming a rectangular compression block of width bpc, length x and intensity 0.6fcu then:-

Cf = 0.6 fcu Bpc x = 748.4 kN Tf = Cf - Fc = -516.8 kN Cf = Fc = 1265 kN Tf = 0 kN e = M/Fc = 40.0 mm x = 2 (Dp/2 - e) = 469.9 mm fc = Fc / (Bpc x) = 6.7 N/mm

Therefore the bolts are not in tension - Recalculate depth of compression block

The depth of the compression block exceeds Dp - D + T Therefore the compression block will be T shaped Let; and let; (Note x is length of stem of T); Quadratic equation; Factor a; Factor b; Constant c; Length of stem of T; Now additionally let; is depth of flange of I); Quadratic equation; M/Fc))x+Bpcm /2+nl(m+l/2)-(Bpcm+nl)(Dp/2-M/Fc)

Length of stem of 'T' exceeds D-2(L1+T) - Recalculate with 'I' shaped compression block; Equating eccentricity of applied loading to centroid of compression I and rearranging the equation (Note x 0 = Bpcx /2 + Bpc((m+l)-(Dp/2a = Bpc/2 = 200.0 mm b = Bpc((m+l)-(Dp/2-M/Fc)) = 39013 mm
