INPUT
fcu= 40 N/mm2
fy= 460 N/mm2
Area of reinforcement " As " = 251 mm2
b= 1000 mm
h= 170 mm
d= 91 mm
Minimum cover to tension reinforcement " CO " = 75 mm
Maxmum bar spacing " S " = 200 mm
Bar dia " DIA " = 8 mm
" acr " =(((S/2)^2+(CO+DIA/2)^2)^(1/2)-DIA/2) as default or enter other value = 123.44 mm
"acr " is distance from the point considered to the surface of the nearest longitudinal bar
Applied service moment " Ms "= 4.5 KNm
CALCULATIONS
moduli of elasticity of concrete " Ec" = (1/2)*(20+0.2*fcu) = 14.0 KN/mm2
moduli of elasticity of steel " Es " = 200.0 KN/mm2
Modular ratio " " = (Es/Ec) = 14.29
" " = As/bd = 0.003
depth to neutral axis, "x" = (- +(()2 + 2.)0.5.d = 22 mm
