Check the design moment strength

Factored flexure resistance Mr = φ Mn
where, resistance factor = φ
nominal resistance Mn= Asfy(ds-a/2)
ds , the distance from extreme compression fiber to the centroid of tensile reinforcement
ds = 219.0 mm
As = 754.4 mm2

Calculation of φ
2
Youngs Modulus for normal concrete Ec = 25279 N/mm
Youngs Modulus for reinforcing steel Es = 200000 N/mm2
modular ratio n = 7.9
dt, distance from the extreme compression fiber to the centroid of the extreme
tension steel element dt = 919.0 mm

The transformed moment of inertia is calculated assuming elastic behavior, i.e., linear stress and
strain distribution. In this case, the first moment of area of the transformed steel on the tension side
about the neutral axis is assumed equal to that of concrete in compression.

Assume the neutral axis at a distance "c" from the extreme compression fiber.
Transformed steel area = (bar area)(modular ratio) 5968.3 mm2
By equating the first moment of area of the transformed steel about that of the concrete, both about
the neutral axis: Ast(d-c)=1000c(c/2)

Solving the above equation we get c = 45.507 mm

0.75 ≤ φ = 0.65+0.15 (dt/c-1) ≤ 0.9 φ = 0.900

depth of equivalent stress block, a=cβ1= Asfy/0.85fc'b a = 18.8 mm

φMnx, the factored flexural resistance. Mr = 71.1 kNm/m OK
Limits for reinforcement
Check minimum reinforcement
Unless otherwise specified, at any section of a flexural component, the amount of nonprestressed
tensile reinforcement shall be adequate to develop a factored flexural resistance, M r, at least equal
to the lesser of:

1) 1.2Mcr = 1.2frSc OR 2) 1.33Mu

where fr is the modulus of rupture =0.97√fc' fr = 4.9 N/mm2

Sc is the section modulus of extreme fiber of section
3
Sc = 15000000 mm /m
1.2Mcr = 87.3
kNm/m
OR
1.33Mu = 2.0894 kNm/m
Therefore, the minimum required section moment resistance= 2.1 kNm/m

Provided moment resistance = 71.1 kNm/m > 2.1 kNm/m OK
