1.1. Dimensions and loads

Beam cross section bw=0.400 m, h=0.800 m
Bottom reinforcement 825 (39.28cm)
Top reinforcement
825 (39.28cm) (39.28>0.5x39.28cm we use 0.5x39.28=19.64cm)
Effective depth of cross section d1=Cnom+s+1.1=20+8+1.1x25=56mm, d=800-56=745mm
1.2. Cross section moment capacity

(EC2 EN1992-1-1:2004, 6.1)

(iterations:13). From internal force equilibrium we have:

c=3.50(o/oo), Fc=fcdbx, =0.810, x=142.9mm, x/d=0.19
Fc= -fcdbx =
0.001x0.810x13.33x 400x142.9= -617kN
s1=14.75(o/oo)>1.57=y, Fs1= As1fyd=0.001x3928x314.0= 1233kN
s2= 2.14(o/oo)>1.57=y, Fs2=-As2fyd=0.001x1964x314.0= -617kN
z=d-Kax, Ka=0.416, z=745-0.416x142.87=686mm
z1=(zFc+(d-d2)Fs2)/(Fc+Fs2)=(686x617+690x617)/(617+617)=688mm
Moment capacity of cross section Md=z1Fs=0.688x1233= 848.30kNm
Ultimate moment capacity of beam cross section Md= 848.30 kNm
