PROBLEM 1: (a) Determine the balanced moment of resistance of the
rectangular beam of the Figure, having b = 350 mm, d = 600 mm, D = 650
mm, Ast = 804 mm2 (4- 16T), σcbc = 7 N/mm2 and σst = 230 N/mm2.
(b) Determine the balanced area of tension steel.

(a) Determine the balanced moment of resistance:

Given data are:
b = 350 mm, d = 600 mm, Ast = 804 mm2 , σcbc = 7 N/mm2 and σst = 230
N/mm2 .
We have: pt (%) = (Ast x100)/(bxd) = 80400 / (350) (600) = 0.383%
m = 280/3σcbc = 93.33/7 = 13.33.
kb = 93.33 /(σst + 93.33) = 93.33/(230+93.33) = 0.289
jb = 1- kb /3 = 1- 0.289/3 = 0.904
Mb = C*jb*d = (½)*σcbc*kb*jb*b*d^2
= (1/2)x7x0.289x0.904x350x600^2 = 115.214x10^6 N-mm
= 115.214 KN-m
(b) Determine the balanced area of tension steel:
(½)*σcbc*kb*jb*b*d^2 = σst*Ast*jb*d
 (½)*σcbc*kb*b*d = σst*Ast
 (Pt,bal/100)*b*d*σst = (½)*σcbc*kb*b*d
 Pt,bal = 50*kb*(σcbc/σst)
 Pt,bal = 50x0.289x(7/230) = 0.439%
 Ast,bal = (0.439/100)x350x600 mm^2 = 923.54 mm^2
No. of Reinforcing steel (Dia of bar = 16ф) = 923.54/((π/4)x16^2) = 4.59

Area of reinforcing steel required for Balanced section (Ast,bal) = 923.54 mm^2
UNDER-REINFORCED BEAM SECTION – SINGLY
REINFORCED SECTION:
It may not be possible to design a balanced section
since the area of steel required for the balanced
condition is difficult to satisfy with available bar
diameters. In such cases, it is essential that the
beam should be provided with the steel less than the
balanced steel so that the. actual stress of steel in
tension reaches the permissible value σst and the
actual stress of concrete fcbc is less than the
permissible value.
Such sections are designated as under-reinforced
sections and moment of resistance shall be governed
by the tensile stress of steel σst.. The depth of the
neutral axis will be less than the balanced depth of
the neutral axis.
