General
 For simple geometry like beam, column and slab; we follow design approach wherein bending
moment + axial force & Shear + Torsion are dealt with separately.

 These design models are not completely compatible but are acceptable for design.

 However, for complex geometries such as shell, membrane element design has to be based on net
effect of all forces acting together, ensuring compatibility of strains.

ULS Flexure (Pure Bending)

Capacity of a flexure member can be found by use of strain compatibity method as shown below:

1. Assume a neutral axis depth and calculate the strains in the tension and compression reinforcement by assuming linear strain
distribution and a strain of εcu2 (or εcu3 as the case may be) at the extreme fiber of the concrete in compression.

2. From stress-strain idealization, calculate the steel stresses appropriate to the calculated steel strains.

3. From stress-strain idealization, calculate the concrete stresses appropriate to the strains associated with the assumed neutral
axis depth.

4. Calculate the net tensile and compressive forces at the section. If they are not equal, adjust the neutral axis depth and return
to step-1.

5. When net tensile force is equal to net compressive force, take moment about a common point in the section and determine
moment of resistance.

Let us understand by means

300mm fck = 25 MPa  α=0.67  γm=1.5  fcd = 11.17 MPa

ULS Flexure (Pure Bending)  Example (Strain Compatibility Method)

300mm Distance of Compressive Force from extreme compression fibre (a) = β x = 0.4 x 200 = 80 mm
Compressive Force (Fc) = ηfcd . b . λx = 1x11.17 x 300 x 0.8 x 200 / 1000 = 536.16 kN
450mm 400mm Tensile Force (FS) = fyd x As = 435 x 1472 / 1000 = 640.00 kN

Here Fc ≠ Fs  Revise Assumed Neutral Axis depth & re-calculate the forces from 1st Step.
3 Nos –
25mm dia.

After Various iteration, for depth of x = 238.8 mm

Fc = Fs = 640 kN

Now to find Moment of Resistance of this balanced section

M.R. = Fs z = Fs (d – b.x) = 640 (400 – 0.8/2 x 238.8) = 195 kN-m

ULS Flexure (Pure Bending)

 As it can be seen, Strain Compatibility is an iterative method, is tedious for hand calculations.

 However It is very useful for evaluating non-uniform sections.

 Standard formulas for widely used sections such as Rectangular and Flanged-Tee are given in
subsequent slides.

 Its imperative to mention here that, “special care must be taken regarding strain level in steel so as to
avoid brittle failure (when strain in concrete reaches it limiting value prior to steel)”
