Point load ( P ) = 15 kn
1.2 m
Mu = M * 1.5 = 43.2 kn m
To find area of steel required (Ast)req
K = Mu / ( Bd2fcu ) = 0.03383194
Where (fcu ) is the characteristic strength of concrete = 20 N/mm 2 , from IS 456 2000 Table 2 pg.16
Lever arm
Z = d ( 0.5+(0.25 - (K / 0.9)1/2 = 0.9608784647 * d mm
since the lever arm is limited to 0.95 d
Z = 0.95 * d mm = 542.89633254 mm
(Ast)req = Mu / 0.87 fy Z = 220.39385918 mm2
Where fy is charateristic strength of steel = 415 N/mm 2 , from IS 456 2000
Provide : 2 16 2 14 in top
Hence Ast(prov) = 710 mm2

(Ast)req = Mu / 0.87 fy Z = 412.18312691 mm2
Where fy is charateristic strength of steel = 415 N/mm 2 , from IS 456 2000
