Supplemental Calculation for A S REQ
Note: This is an iterative process where an assumption is made for the
steel provided (A' S ) and tested to see if this provides an intersection
point on the M-N interaction diagram.
1. Guess an initial value of A' S
2. See if this results in a p
point exactlyy on the curve of the M-N
interaction diagram
3. If this does, then use Excel Goal-Seek to derive the depth of the
neutral axis (x)
1-Eg 9.3
Try A S =
520 mm
Depth of neutral axis, x =
44.0 mm
compressive steel strain,

sc =

0.0283
0.0018
balanced neutral axis, x bal =
262.9 mm
Depth of stress block, s = 0.9x =
39.6 mm
strains OK
neutral axis depth OK
From yield strain curve
f SC (compression) = E S SC
63.6 N/mm
f SC (tension) = E S S
5663.7 N/mm
For compression
N(e+h/2-d 2 ) = 0.45f CU bs(d-s/2) + f SC A' S (d-d')
0.45f CU bs(d-s/2) =
e = M/N =
91463239 Nmm
463.4 mm
N(e+h/2-d 2 ) =
97262195 Nmm
To allow for the area of concrete displaced, f SC =
351.7 N/mm
f SC (d-d') =
126618 Nmm
IF((C117-C115)/C119<0,C73*C28/100,(C117-C115)/C
For tension
N = 0.45f CU bs + f SC A' S +f S A S
A S = (0.45f CU bs - f SC A' S -N)/f S
0.45f CU bs =
240566 N
