= area of steel reinforcement in tension side
= area of steel reinforcement in compression side
d’ = effective depth of compression bar
= compression force of compression bars
= tensile strength of compression bars at service load
’ = strain of steel at the compression side

Case 2:
DOUBLY-REINFORCED BEAM
ANALYSIS PROBLEM
Determining of the beam given and :
1. Check if SRB of DRB ---------------- DRB
2. Assume compression steel yield ()
solve for a
solve for c

3. Check if compression steel and tension steel yields

compression steel yields proceed to computation of
compression steel does not yield make necessary correction then compute

4. Compute ultimate moment capacity

’ or
DESIGN PROBLEM

1. Solve and 4. Verify compression steel yield
< --------- Singly Reinforced
> --------- Doubly Reinforced

2. Determine

(compression steel yields)

3. Determine
(compression steel yields)
