For fixed support with udl the point of contraflexure occurs at 0.211*L, so the main reinforcement has to be extended upto pt of contraflexure from both the supports. At mid, 3/4 th of reinforcement shall be provided. Point of contraflexure: 1.00 m Since it may be difficult for detailing of reinforcement the same reinforcement shall be provided at both the tension and compression face Also main reinforcement shall be reduced at the top
