For detailed calculations, find the N.A. depth but use ԑ at service loads. Strain diagram will
be different from the one shown in figure above if axial load is included.
Assume no strength from concrete due to axial tension load.
Assume tension force acting at steel reinforcement level.
Assume all the moment is resisted by top and bottom steel only.
Tension at top steel; T1 = A’s / (A’s+As+As1+As1) x Total Tension Force
Tension at bottom steel;T2 = As / (A’s+As+As1+As1) x Total Tension Force
Tension at right steel; T3 = As1/ (A’s+As+As1+As1) x Total Tension Force
Tension at left steel; T4 = As1/ (A’s+As+As1+As1 )x Total Tension Force
M=Asfs(d-d’)+T2(d-d’)+0.5T3(h/4)+0.5T4(h/4)
T3=T4 so
M=Asfs(d-d’)+T2(d-d’)+T3(h/4)
(where T is total axial tension force)
From here calculate fs and compare with fsmax of ACI 350-06.
