Question: An R C beam, with the cross section below, is required to resist a total applied design moment M E d = 6 7 6

An RC beam, with the cross section below, is required to resist a total applied design moment MEd=676kNm
Its ultimate moment of resistance Mu=425kNm
Its effective depth d=355mm and d2=53mm
Calculate the area of primary tensile steel AS required to resist this applied moment.
Give your answer in mm2 to the nearest whole unit. Do not include units in the answer box.
Assume that klim?=0.167.
To calculate z in relation to tension steel for Mu, you must use z=0.82xd(do not attempt to work out z using k and the formula zd etc.).
er 5,267 margin of error +-2%
The final answer is equal to 5267 mm^2
An R C beam, with the cross section below, is
