BALANCED AND MAXIMUM STEEL AREA AND MOMENT
The balanced value of “c” for any beam shape is given by:
600𝑑
𝑐𝑏 = 𝑎𝑏 = 𝛽1 𝑐
600 + 𝑓𝑦
If “a” is less than the slab thickness, the formulas for rectangular beam may be used,
or
0.85𝑓′𝑐 𝛽1 600 𝐴𝑠𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 0.75𝐴𝑠𝑏

𝑓𝑦 (600 + 𝑓𝑦 )

DESIGN OF T-BEAMS WITH NEGATIVE MOMENTS
When T-beams are resisting negative moments so that their flanges are in tension and
the bottom of their stems are in compression, the formulas for rectangular beams can
be applied. The following code requirements shall be applied for this case:
Where flanges of the T-beam construction are in tension, part of the flexural tension
reinforcement shall be distributed over an effective flange width as defined in Section
408.11 of the NSCP, or a width equal to 1/10 the span, whichever is smaller. If the
effective flange width exceeds 1/10 the span, some longitudinal reinforcement shall
be provided in the outer portions of the flange.
The intention of this section is to minimize the possibilities of flexural cracks that will
occur at the top face of the flange due to negative moments.
MINIMUM STEEL RATIO
For statically determinate T-section with flange in tension, the minimum steel area is
equal to or greater than the smaller value of the following equations:

PROPERTIES:
1. Solve for the balanced steel area to determine if tension steel will yield using the previously
discussed formulas.
2. Tension steel yields, fs = fy. Compute the area of compression concrete, Ac. Compare Ac with
the area of the compression flange, Af = bft.
