Using NSCP 2015; a reinforced concrete beam has an effective depth = of 500 mm. It is subjected to a total factored moment of 1,500 kN. m including its own weight. Steel covering (measured from the centroid of the bar) is 60 mm for both compression and tension bars. Given: f’_c = 35 MPa and f_y = 329.5 MPa. Determine the minimum, maximum, and balanced steel areas; Ultimate balanced moment capacity; Ultimate maximum moment capacity.?
