Mathcad - 04. Analysis of Doubly Reinforced Concrete Beam

This document analyzes the moment capacity (φMn) of a doubly reinforced concrete beam. It provides the beam dimensions, material properties, and equations from building codes to calculate the neutral axis depth, steel strains, and reinforcement ratios. It then determines that the compressive reinforcement has yielded, the section is tension controlled, and calculates the moment strength is 905.884 kN-m.
