d = 1000 - 75 - 20/2 = 915.0 mm
(3.4.4.4) K' = 0.156 > K = 0.052 ok .
(3.4.4.4) z = 915.0(0.5 + (0.25 - 0.052/0.893)^½ ) = 858.1 < 869.3 mm
(Fig 3.3) fst = 438.1 N/mm²
As = 1E6 x 527 /857.7 /438.1 = 1,403 mm² .

(Equn 8) fs = 2/3 x 460 x 1,403 /1,571 = 273.8 N/mm²
(Table 3.11) Comp mod factor = 1 + 0.229 /(3 + 0.229) = 1.071 < 1.5
(Table 3.10) Tens mod factor = 0.55 + (477 - 273.8) /120 /(0.9 + 2.098) = 1.115 < 2
(3.4.6.3) Permissible L/d = 20.0 x 1.071 x 1.115 = 23.875 .
