Basic Description
Beams and slabs are rarely built as isolated
members, but a monolithic part of an integrated
system.

Example 1:
Solution: (a) Transformed section solution:
For normal-weight 27.5 MPa concrete,
Example 1:
Depth of center-of-gravity axis, , can be done
using the first moment of area:
Example 1:
It is customary to denote n = Es /Ec as the
modular ratio. Taking moments about the top
extreme fibers of the section.
Example 1:
If the moment of inertia of steel reinforcement
about its own axis is neglected as insignificant.
Example 1:
The distance of the center of gravity of the
transformed section from the lower extreme fibers
is:
Example 1:
(b) Gross section solution:

Example 2:
Solution: From previous equation for c,
Example 2:
(as expected)
Example 2:
If the gross cross-section values for Ig and Mcr are
used without including the effect of transformed
As, the effective moment of inertia becomes:
Example 2:
Comparison of the two values of effective Ie
calculated by the two methods (3.211109 mm4
versus 3.11109 mm4) shows an insignificant
difference.
Hence, use of the cross-section properties in the
above equation is, in most cases, adequate,
particularly when one considers the variability in
the loads and the randomness in the properties of
concrete.
