Role: You are a civil engineer specializing in reinforced concrete design.
Objective: Create a calculator (or script logic) to determine the axial load capacity of a square concrete column using input parameters: column size, concrete grade (f’c), steel yield strength (fy), and reinforcement ratio.
Constraints:
- Use simplified interaction formula (e.g., ACI 318 or Eurocode)
- Column length: ≤ 4 meters, pinned-pinned
Output:
- Load capacity in kN
- Summary table comparing capacity for 3 reinforcement ratios (1%, 2%, 3%)
- Safety check against axial loads
