 3.6 The ultimate moment of resistance of singly
reinforced section and
When applied design moment exceeds the concrete capacity;
compression steel reinforcement is required to supplement the
load carrying capacity of the concrete. As specified by EC2 that the
upper limit of the lever arm (Z) is 0.954d and the lower limit of is 0.82,
while the depth of the neutral axis () should not exceeds 0.45 (to
ensure steel reinforcement will have yielded before the concrete in
compression area failed), therefore RC beam will give signs of
warning of failure.

To determine the moment capacity of the singly reinforced section

(Figure 1.12); the3.18
depth of the neutral axis assumed to be 0.45.
