Assumptions:
(1) The general conditions of clause 3.8.1 are applicable.
(2) The section is symmetrically reinforced.
(3) The specified design axial loads include the self-weight of the column.
(4) The design axial loads are taken constant over the height of the column.

Design approach:
The column is designed using an iterative procedure:
(1) The column design charts are constructed.
(2) An area steel is chosen.
(3) The corresponding slenderness moments are calculated.
(4) The design axis and design ultimate moment is determined .
(5) The steel required for the design axial force and moment is read from
the relevant design chart.
(6) The procedure is repeated until the convergence of the area steel
about the design axis.
(7) The area steel perpendicular to the design axis is read from the relevant
design chart.
(8) The procedure is repeated for each load case.
(9) The critical load case is identified as the case yielding the largest
steel area about the design axis.

Through inspection:
Load case 3 (CASE-31U(UPLIFT)) is critical.

Check column slenderness:

End fixity and bracing for bending about the X-X axis:
At the top end: Condition 2 (partially fixed).
At the bottom end: Condition 2 (partially fixed).
The column is unbraced.
∴ ßx = 1.50 Table 3.22

End fixity and bracing for bending about the Y-Y axis:
At the top end: Condition 2 (partially fixed).
At the bottom end: Condition 2 (partially fixed).
The column is unbraced.
∴ ßy = 1.50 Table 3.22

Effective column height:

lex = ßx. Lo
= 1.5×5.5
= 8.250 m

ley = ßy. Lo
= 1.5×5.5
= 8.250 m

Minimum Moments for Design:

Check for mininum eccentricity: 3.8.2.4
Check that the eccentricity exceeds the minimum in the plane of bending:
Use emin = 20mm

Mmin = emin. N
= .02×-1080
= -21.6000 kNm

Check if the column is slender: 3.8.1.3

λx = 10.3 > 10

λy = 10.3 > 10

∴ The column is slender.

Check slenderness limit: 3.8.1.7

Lo = 5.500 m < 60⋅ dia' = 48.000 m

∴ Slenderness limit not exceeded.

Initial moments:
The initial end moments about the X-X axis:
M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 276.0 kNm

The initial moment near mid-height of the column : 3.8.3.7

Mi = - 0.4. M1 + 0.6. M2
= - 0.4×0 + 0.6×276
= 165.600 kNm

Mi2 = 0.4. M2
= 0.4×276
= 110.400 kNm

∴ Mi ≥ 0.4M2 = 165.6 kNm

The initial end moments about the Y-Y axis:

M1 = Smaller initial end moment = 0.0 kNm
M2 = Larger initial end moment = 0.0 kNm

The initial moment near mid-height of the column : 3.8.3.7

Mi = - 0.4. M1 + 0.6. M2
= - 0.4×0 + 0.6×0
= 0.0000×100 kNm

Mi2 = 0.4. M2
= 0.4×0
= 0.0000×100 kNm

∴ Mi ≥ 0.4M2 = 0.0 kNm
