The γ f 3value at SLS are all Unity except for the following:-
A value of 0.83 is applied to the effects of HaA loading and 0.91 to
the effects of HB Loading ( or HA combined with HB) when checking
the cracking limit state under load combination 1.

Therefore A = 90909 mm2

Therefore for the same load , a square contact area of 300 mm or a circular
