Supplemental Calculation for A S REQ


Note: This is an iterative process where an assumption is made for the
steel provided (A' S ) and tested to see if this provides an intersection
point on the M-N interaction diagram.
1. Guess an initial value of A' S
2. See if this results in a p
point exactlyy on the curve of the M-N
interaction diagram
3. If this does, then use Excel Goal-Seek to derive the depth of the
neutral axis (x)

1-Eg 9.3

Try A S =

520 mm

Depth of neutral axis, x =

44.0 mm

balanced neutral axis, x bal =

Depth of stress block, s = 0.9x =

39.6 mm

strains OK
neutral axis depth OK

From yield strain curve


f SC (compression) = E S SC

63.6 N/mm

f SC (tension) = E S S

5663.7 N/mm

For compression
N(e+h/2-d 2 ) = 0.45f CU bs(d-s/2) + f SC A' S (d-d')
0.45f CU bs(d-s/2) =
e = M/N =

91463239 Nmm
463.4 mm

N(e+h/2-d 2 ) =

97262195 Nmm

To allow for the area of concrete displaced, f SC =

351.7 N/mm

f SC (d-d') =

126618 Nmm

IF((C117-C115)/C119<0,C73*C28/100,(C117-C115)/C
For tension
N = 0.45f CU bs + f SC A' S +f S A S

A S = (0.45f CU bs - f SC A' S -N)/f S
