Hey guys i have the following column with the different excentricities and forces. My problem is i don't know how to calculate the moment capacity of a column like this situation. Do anyone have a suggestion regarding how to calculate such a column? Thanks in advance.

Do a vector sum of the loads and their individual moments in each direction. You should end up with a single load and a single eccentricity.

Plan accordingly for pattern loading, i.e. one of the loads happening when the other doesn't.
 
Can you give me an example of how to do that?
 
If you are qualified to perform that calculation you shouldn't need an example. It's first year statics.
