Constants
Where:
. n n = Es/Ec
. k= Es = 200GPa
n + (fs/fc)
Ec = from Session 1 slide
fc = 0.45fc’
fc’= in Mpa
fs = tensile stress on steel (Mpa)
j = 1 – k/3
The Total Compression force and Tension force
C = (fc/2) (kd)( b) T = As fs
– k/3
Compressive Stress on Concrete given the Moment and Reinforcement

fc = k j bd2 M = ½ fc k j bd2
Mc = R bd2
M Normally fs = 40% fy
fs = As j d
M
As = fs j d
Required Reinforcement
Ms = As fs j d
