ASSUMPTIONS
Plane sections before bending remain plane and perpendicular to the N.A.
after bending
Strain distribution is linear both in concrete & steel and is directly
proportional to the distance from N.A.
Strain in the steel & surrounding concrete is the same prior to cracking of
concrete or yielding of steel
Concrete in the tension zone is neglected in the flexural analysis & design

TO SLIDE-5
Concrete stress of 0.85fc’ is uniformly distributed over an equivalent
compressive zone.
fc’ = Specified compressive strength of concrete in psi.
Maximum allowable strain of 0.003 is adopted as safe limiting value in
concrete.
The tensile strain for the balanced section is fy/Es

Relationship b / n the depth `a’ of the equivalent rectangular stress block &
depth `c’ of the N.A. is
a = β1 c
β1= 0.85 ; fc’ 4000 psi
β1= 0.85 - 0.05(fc’ – 4000) / 1000 ; 4000 < fc’ 8000
β1= 0.65 ; fc’> 8000 psi
EVALUATION OF DESIGN PARAMETERS
Total compressive force C = 0.85fc’ ba
Total Tensile force T = As fy
C=T
0.85fc’ ba = As fy
a = As fy / (0.85fc’ b)
= d fy / (0.85 fc’) = As / bd
Moment of Resistance, Mn = 0.85fc’ ba (d – a/2) or
Mn = As fy (d – a/2) =
bd fy [ d – (dfyb / 1.7fc’) ]
= fc’ [ 1 – 0.59 ] bd2
= fy / fc’
Mn = Kn bd2 Kn = fc’ [ 1 – 0.59 ]
Mu = Mn
