The strength of an RCC column can be calculated using any of the given formulas, as they all represent valid approaches to account for the different materials (concrete and steel) and their properties (modular ratio, maximum stress) in the composite section of the column. Each formula incorporates the areas of concrete and steel, the modular ratio, and the maximum stress in concrete, adjusting for the contribution of each material to the overall strength of the column.
