I take the vision which comes from dreams and apply the magic of science and
mathematics, adding the heritage of my profession and my knowledge of nature's
materials to create a design.

Two methods for calculating Moment of Resistance
3.0
There are two methods for calculating the moment of resistance of doubly

Remedial Measures to prevent reinforced sections. They are as follows:

failure of Concrete
1. Method 1 Elastic theory
2. Method 2 Steel beam theory

building | Failures in Buildings Method 1
Method using Elastic theory

Subscribe via Email The moment of resistance is calculated by taking the moments of forces about the
centre of gravity of the tensile steel.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Diagram for determining Moment of resistance

From the figure above, we get,

Mr = Moment of compressive force of concrete about tensile steel + Moment of

equivalent concrete force of compression steel about tensile steel

= bx(cbc/2)(d x/3) + (1.5m 1)Asc. cbc (d d)

Where, (1.5m 1)Asc is the equivalent concrete area of compression steel.

cbc is the compressive stress in the concrete at a depth d mm from the top of the
beam, where Asc is provided.

To find cbc

30/12/2014 MomentofResistance|DoublyreinforcedSections|CivilEngineeringProjects

From the figure above, we get,

cbc/x = cbc (x d)

cbc = cbc [(x d)/x)]

Method 2
Method using the Steel beam theory

The moment of resistance can be calculated using this method. The calculations are
approximate and not very accurate. The whole concrete is neglected. Asc and Ast are
taken into consideration for the calculations purpose.

Three important assumptions:

All the concrete area is neglected

Permissible stresses in tensile and compressive steel are the same.
Permissible stresses reach their maximum stress at the same time (Asc = Ast)

Taking the moment about compression steel,

Mr = Ast.st (d d)
