0.9: xf05d This limit will normally be adopted for ultimate state design, but larger degrees of moment redistribution will require a smaller limit to x to ensure that plastic hinges can form, providing adequate rotation at the critical sections (see section 4,7 and table 4.1). 43! Bending and the equivalent rectangular stress block For the design of most reinforced concrete structures it is usual to commence the design for the conditions at the ultimate limit state, which is then followed by checks to ensure that the structure is adequate for the serviceability limit state without excessive deflection or cracking of the concrete. For this reason the analysis in this chapter will first consider the simplified rectangular stress block which can be used for the design at ‘the ultimate limit state, ‘The rectangular stress block as shown in figure 4.4 may be used in preference to the more rigorous rectangular-parabolie stress block. This simplified stress distribution will facilitate the analysis and provide more manageable design equations, in particular ‘when dealing with non-rectangular cross-sections. It can be seen from the figure that the stress block does not extend to the neutral axis ofthe section but has a depth s = 0.9x. This will result in the centroid of the stress block being s/2 = 0.45x from the top edge of the section, which is very nearly the same location as for the more precise rectangular-parabolic stress block; also the areas of the ‘two types of stress block are approximately equal (see section 4.9). Thus the moment of resistance of the section will be similar using calculations based on either of the two stress blocks. The design equations derived in sections 4.4 to 4.6 are for redistribution of moments being not greater than 10 per cent. When a greater moment redistribution is applied, reference should be made to section 4.7 which describes how to modify the design equations. o.003s 0.67h ge O45, Figure 4.4 pee ++ Singly reinforced seetion with i = —+ rectangular stress block 0.9% wr Vy Ta etal qe pa fee ae = — Section Strains Stress Block
