Initial Data compression

Beam/Effective Web Width b, b w = 1000 mm d'
Total Beam Depth h = 600 mm
Depth from to Steel Centroid d = 500 mm
Distance d' = 100 mm h d
Dist. from extreme tension fiber to d1 = 100 mm

Check Balanced Reinf.

When A's=0 (8.16.3.1.1) ρ ≤ 0.75 ρ b = 2.02% O.K.
When A's <> 0 (8.16.3.4.3) ρ ≤ ρb = 2.69% O.K.
