WOOD/ARMER EQUATIONS FOR MOMENTS Mx, My and Mxy

Reinforcement to be provided in x and a directions

Mx My Mxy ao
-8 -8 -2 134

Section A OPTIMUM SOLUTION

Bottom Steel
M*x = Mx+2MxyCota+MyCot2a+ABS((Mxy+MyCota)/Sina)
M*x = -3.638288
M*a =My/Sin2a+ABS((Mxy+MyCota)/Sina)
M*a = -7.501043
Bottom Steel required to resist moments M*x and M*a :
M*x = 0 M*a = 0

Top Steel
M*x = Mx+2MxyCota+MyCot2a-ABS((Mxy+MyCota)/Sina)
M*x = -19.55708
M*a = My/Sin2a-ABS((Mxy+MyCota)/Sina)
M*a = -23.41983
Top Steel required to resist moments M*x and M*a :
M*x = 19.55708 M*a = 23.419834

Section B UNOPTIMISED SOLUTION

Bottom Steel
M*x = Mx+2MxyCota+MyCot2a+K1ABS(Mxy+MyCota)
M*a =(My+ABS(Mxy+MyCota)/K1)/Sin2a
Fix M*x = 10.00 OR Fix M*a = 10.00
K1 = 3.772185 K1 = 0.43459
M*a = 0 M*x = 0

Top Steel
M*x = Mx+2MxyCota+MyCot2a-K2ABS(Mxy+MyCota)
M*a =(My-ABS(Mxy+MyCota)/K2)/Sin2a
Fix M*x = 19.60 OR Fix M*a = 24.00
K2 = 1.39766 K2 = 1.295718
M*a = 23.37714 M*x = 19.01633
