d = 500 - 48 - 25/2 = 439.5 mm
(3.4.4.4) K' = 0.104 < K = 0.139 compression steel required
(3.4.4.4) z = 439.5(0.5 + (0.25 - 0.104/0.893)^½ ) = 380.7 < 417.5 mm
(3.4.4.4) x = (439.5 - 380.2) /0.45 = 131.9 mm
d' = 40 + 12/2 = 46.0 mm .
(Fig 3.3) Gross fsc = 438.1 N/mm² from strain diagram .
(Fig 3.3) net fsc = 438.1 - 0.67 x 35 /1.5 = 422.5 > 0 N/mm²
Excess M = M - Mu = 282.0(0.139 - 0.104) /0.139 = 70.4 kNm
As' = 70.4E6 /422.5 /(439.5 - 46.0) = 424 mm²
PROVIDE 4 T12 compression steel = 452 mm² .
(Fig 3.3) fst = 438.1 N/mm² .
As = (70.4E6 /393.5 + 211.6E6 /380.2) /438.1 = 1679 mm² .
PROVIDE 4 T25 tension steel = 1963 mm² As enhanced by 5% for deflection
(Eqn 8) fs = 2/3 x 460 x 1,679 /1,963 /0.70 = 374.6 N/mm²
(Table 3.11) Comp mod factor = 1 + 0.343 /(3 + 0.343) = 1.103 < 1.5
(Table 3.10) Tens mod factor = 0.55 + (477 - 374.6) /120 /(0.9 + 4.866) = 0.698 < 2
(3.4.6.3) Permissible L/d = 26.0 x 1.103 x 0.698 = 20.011
(3.4.6.1) Actual L/d = 8000 /439.5 = 18.203 ok .
