Culvert Base Slab Design - Flexure ( Max Mx Ultimate )

Data:-
Design ultimate bending moment = M = 195.9 kN.m
Design service moment = Ms = 123.8 kN.m
Breadth of Cross-section = b = 1000.0 mm
Overall depth = h = 550.0 mm
Grade of concrete = fcu = 30.0 N/mm2
Grade of main steel = fy = 420.0 N/mm2
Clear cover = c = 50.0 mm
Elastic modulus of steel = Es = 2.10E+05 N/mm2
Elastic modulus of concrete = Ec = 2.46E+04 N/mm2
Solution:-
Effective depth = d = h-C - bar dia/2
= 492.0 mm
The ratio = k = M / bd2fcu
= 0.027
Lever arm = {Min of 0.95d & d[0.5+SQRT(0.25-k/0.9 ]} = z

Area of steel required = (As)req. = M / 0.95fyz
= 1050.7 mm2

Minimum area of steel = (As)Min. = 0.13% bD

= 715.0 mm2
Maximum area of steel = (As)Max. = 4% bD
= 22000 mm2
