Note: Calculation of Ast

Ast = Max {B, C+D, A+D} (for Mu > 0 and C x 1.33 > B)
Ast = Max{B', C x 1.33 + D, A+D} (for Mu > 0 and C x 1.33 < B)
Ast = Bn (for Mu = 0)
Where,
Compression reinforcement required for
A = Asc (flex) =
bending moment
B = As,min (flex) = Min area of flexural reinforcement
Bn = As,nominal = Nominal area of reinforcement
Total area of longitudinal reinforcement
C = As (flex) =
calculated at a given section
Distributed longitudinal torsional
D = Al (Dist) =
reinforcement at section considered
 Max(Al,min (Tor), Al (Tor)) x ((2B) / (2B +

Maximum Spacing Criteria

Basic
Spc1 =d/2 = 125 mm
Spc2 = 300 mm

For Ductility (Special Frames)

Left Section, Right Section
=
Spc3 = 6 x Small Longitudinal Dia 72 mm
Spc4 = d / 4 = 62 mm
Spc5 = 150 mm
 Provided Spacing = 100 mm

Mid Section
Provided Spacing = 125 mm

Skin reinforcement

Beam Width = 250 mm

Beam Depth = 300 mm
Depth = 300 <= 900, Hence Skin Reinforcement is not required.
