Steps is for finding the required steel reinforcements of beam with known M max
and other beam properties using Working Stress Design method.
Given the following, direct or indirect:
L= 6 m
x= 7.109 mm
2
Solve for the required steel area As = Mmax / fy * (d - 1/3 xbal) = 689.69 mm
2
D As (mm )
2
13 132.7323 5 D16 Asa = 1005.3 mm
16 201.0619
19 283.5287 As < Asa ---> OK !
20 314.1593
22 380.1327
Step 3: Doubly Reinforced Beam (M max > M bal )
Additional given: Embedment depth of compresion steel = d'
