Cross-Sectional Area of Compressive Reinforcing Formula Elements

Variables
Area of Compression Reinforcement
Area of Compression Reinforcement is the amount of steel required in the compression zone.
Symbol: As'
Measurement: AreaUnit: mm²
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bending Moment of Considered Section
Bending Moment of Considered Section is defined as the sum of moment of all forces acting on one side of the beam or section.
Symbol: BM
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: kN*m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Bending Moment of Singly reinforced Beam
Bending Moment of Singly reinforced Beam is the bending moment that would be carried by a beam of balanced design and same dimensions with tensile reinforcing only.
Symbol: M'
Measurement: Moment of ForceUnit: kN*m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Modular Ratio
Modular Ratio is the ratio of modulus of elasticity of steel and concrete. Concrete has varying moduli as it is not a perfectly elastic material. essentially, m= Es/Ec.
Symbol: m
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Extreme Compressive Stress of Concrete
Extreme Compressive Stress of Concrete is the stress on the extreme fiber of concrete surface.
Symbol: fEC
Measurement: PressureUnit: MPa
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Effective Depth of Beam
Effective Depth of Beam is the distance from the centroid of tension steel to the outermost face of the compression fiber.
Symbol: deff
Measurement: LengthUnit: m
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
