Singly Reinforced beam with single layer of reinforcement

1. In this problem we will determine the moment capacity of a beam if the beam properties are given
A beam has a dimension of 300 mm width and a total height of 400mm. The tension bar has 3d20 reinforcement located in a single
layer. The stirrups has a diameter of 12 mm. The concrete has a compressive strength of 28 Mpa and conc. cover of 40 mm and the
steel has a yield strength of 420 Mpa Determine the moment that can be carried by the beam?
GIVEN f'c = 28 Mpa # ofmain reinf.(nR)= 3 pcs
fy = 415 Mpa dia.of main reinf.(dr)= 25 mm
b= 250 mm Conc. cover(cc)= 40 mm

ρ max = 0.75ρ b
7 limit steel ratio to 75% of ρb
ρ max = 0.02135 you limit the steel ratio so that steel will fail
8 ρ max >ρ beam is ok compare ρmax and ρ to be safe ρ must not exced ρmax
if ρ max < ρ then we need to design the beam as doubly reinforced beam

ρ min = 0.00337 governs
10 ρ min <ρ beam is ok compare ρmin and ρ
if ρ min > ρ then you need to change the beam properties
since all steel ratio conditions are satisfied we can proceed with our computation

the reduction factor(Ø) is dependent on strain(ε) so we need to compute the depth of the compression zone(c) to solve the strain
