Reinforced Concrete Section Design to Bending

according to Eurocode 2 (EN 1992-1-1/2004)

Input parameters:
C12/15
B500B
MEd = 150 kNm
b = 30 cm
h = 50 cm
d1 = 3.9 cm

C = 1.50
S = 1.15
cc = 1.00
fck = 12 N/mm2
fyk = 500 N/mm2

- concrete grade
- reinforcement grade
- design bending moment
- section width
- section height
- distance from the bottom to the centroid of the reinforcement

- partial safety factor for concrete

- partial safety factor for reinforcing steel
- coefficient of compressive strength
- characteristic compressive strength of concrete
- characteristic yield strength of reinforcement

Design value of concrete compressive strength:

fcd = ccfck/C = 1.001.2/1.5 = 0.80 kN/cm2
Design yield strength of reinforcement:
fyd = fyk/S = 50/1.15 = 43.48 kN/cm2
Effective depth of a cross-section:
d = h - d1 = 50 - 3.9 = 46.1 cm
Value of nondimensional bending moment:
Ed = MEd/(bdfcd) = 15000/(3046.120.80) = 0.294
For: Rd = 0.295
c = 3.5
s1 = 4.3

= 0.449

= 0.813

Required reinforcement:
As1 = MEd / (fydd) = 15000 / (43.480.81346.1) = 9.20 cm2
As1 = 9.20 cm2
Minimum reinforcement:
As,min = 0.0013btd = 0.00133046.1 = 1.80 cm2

Maximum reinforcement:
As,max = 0.04bh = 0.043050 = 60.00 cm2
As,min = 1.80 cm2 < As1 = 9.20 cm2 < Amax = 60.00 cm2
Relevant required reinforcement:
As,req = 9.20 cm2
Chosen reinforcement: 516
As,prov = 10.05 cm2
