CALCULATIONS
DETERMINATION OF REQUIRED AREA OF STEEL FOR MOMENT
CAPACITY

modulus of rupture MOR lb-inch 493

steel stress=75% of yield stress of steel fs psi 30,000

sectional area of bars Ab sq.inch 0.20

area of steel As sq.inch 0.43

number of bars required Nb 2.19

required spacing of bars Sp inch 5.5

Notes

concrete cover should be 1.5-2.0 inch from top

steel be placed at centroid of tensile area of uncracked

concrete section

reinforcement be discontinue at joints
