Number of bars to be used ntb=4
Area of tension steel provided Aspr=AsBot=804.2 mm2
Steel to resist direct tension Ast=0 mm2
Total area of tension steel reqd. Asreq=As+Ast=508.6+0=508.6 mm2/m,
where Ast is reinforcement required to resist applied direct tension.
As area of tension reinforcement provided ( i.e. 804.2 mm2/m ) is
greater than that required ( 508.6 mm2/m ), the resistance of the
section to ultimate limit-state forces is satisfactory.
