    The document discusses the balanced reinforcement ratio (ρb) for reinforced concrete design. It provides equations to calculate ρb based on the compressive strength of the concrete (fc'), yield strength of the steel (fy), and depth of the equivalent stress block (a). The depth a is defined as a function of the depth c based on fc' values, using factors between 0.65-0.85. ρb is then calculated as the ratio of the area of tensile steel to the product of the concrete section width and depth.

    Balaced Reinforcement Ratio ( b)

    From strain diagram, similar triangles


    cb / d = 0.003 / (0.003 + fy / Es) ; Es = 29x106 psi
    cb / d = 87,000 / (87,000+fy)

    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 b = Asb / bd
    = 0.85fc’ ab / (fy. d)
    = β1 ( 0.85 fc’ / fy) [ 87,000 / (87,000+fy)]
