SINGLY RC BEAM
I. Given: b= 400 mm

Note:
(a) ß 1 = 0.85 if fc' <= 30 Mpa otherwise 0.85
(b) ß 1 = 0.85 - (0.05/7)(fc'-30) 0.92

ß1 = 0.85

ρb = 0.02129

Note: If ρ < = ρb, STEEL YIELDS PROCEED STEP IV

If ρ > ρb, STEEL DOES NOT YIELD PROCEED STEP V

Result: Steel Yields, Proceed Step IV.

Solve for c: Note: For Singly Reinforced Rectangular Beam, ρ is directly proportional to c.

c = (assumed factor) x cmax *Assumed factor may

range from 0.7 to 0.8
as suggested.
cmax = 3/7 d

Assumed Factor = 0.7

d= 610 mm
cmax = 261.429 mm

c= 183 mm

a= ß1 c
a= 155.55 mm

Note: Check if fs is Tension-Controlled or Transition / Compression-Controlled .

fs = 𝑑−𝑐

fs = 257.1428571 MPa

Note : If fs > = 1000 MPa, tension-controlled, φ = 0.90

If fs < 1000 MPa, transion, φ = 0.65 + 0.25( (fs-fy)/(1000-fy))

V. Result: Transion, φ = 0.65 + 0.25( (fs-fy)/(1000-fy)))
