A R.C beam

$300 {\times} 450mm$ (effective) is subjected to an ultimate moment of resistance of 240kNm. Determine steel required if

${\sigma}_{cu}=20N/mm^2$ and

${\sigma}_{sy}=420N/mm^2$ . Use ULM.

Given: b=300mm

d = 450mm.

$σ_{cu}=f_{ck}=20N/mm^2 \\ σ_{sy}=f_y=420N/mm^2 \\ M_u=240kNm$

To find = Ast = ?

$M_{umax}=0.25f_{ck} bd^2=0.25×20×300×450^2=303.75 kNm$

$M_u \lt M_{umax}→$ Singly reinforced section

$M_u=C_u × l_a=\frac{2}{3}×f_{ck} b×a×\Big(d-\frac{a}{2}\Big) \\ 240×10^6=\frac{2}{3}×20×300×a×\Big(450-\frac{a}{2}\Big)$

a = 162.77mm

$M_u= T_u×l_a=f_y×Ast×\Big(d-\frac{a}{2}\Big) \\ 224×10^6= 420×Ast×\Big(450-\frac{162.77}{2}\Big) \\ Astr = 1550.2 mm^2$

$Provide \ 5-20 \ mm∅ \\ …
