Problem:

Given:

b = 250 mm
d = 317 mm
2
fy = 415 N/mm d = 317 mm
' 2
fc = 20 N/mm

Asked:

(a) c

Solution:

Assume tension bars yield simultaneously with concrete

2
Es = 210000 N/mm
fy = Es ξ s
415 = 210000ξs c
ξs = 0.00198
d

ξc/c = ξs/d-c d-c


c = ξcd/(ξc+ξs)
c = 191.11 mm

Answer:

c = 191.11 mm
