RIGHT SPAN
Distance 'X' = 512 mm
Point of Inflection = 1450 mm
Asrequired @ 'X' = 349 mm2
Asprovided @ 'X' = 402 mm2 OK
L1 = 3.175m L2 = 6.125m
For 2nd Layer
Max of (d 0r 12ɸ) = 542 mm
X + Above Value = 1054 mm Governs
Ld = 720 mm Not Governs
LEFT SPAN
Distance 'Y' = 450 mm
Point of Inflection = 1300 mm
Asrequired @ 'Y' = 300 mm2
Asprovided @ 'Y' = 402 mm2 OK
Note i) X & Y are the distances from the face of support at which no longer the 2nd layer reinforcement is needed
& the 1st layer reinforcement is enough to satisfy the moment strength requirements.
ii) Atleast one-third of the total reinforcement provided for negative moment shall be extended maximum of
(d,12ɸ,ln/16) beyond point of inflection. ACI 12.12.3.
iii) All values have rounded upto nearest 50mm.
iv) P.I. is the point at which bending moment is zero & there is a reversal of curvature of the elastic curve.

NOTES:-
1) Top Bars = Where horizontal reinforcement is placed such that more than 12 in. of fresh concrete is cast below the
development length or splice, ψt = 1.3 SEC-12.2.4 (a)
2) Lap splice lengths are multiples of tension development lengths; Class A = 1.0* ld & Class B = 1.3*ld. SEC-12.15.1
3) Class A splices are allowed when: (a) the area of reinforcement provided is at least twice that required by analysis over the
entire length of the splice; and (b) one-half or less of the total reinforcement is spliced within the required lap length.
