Reinforcement Index

The document provides equations to calculate the reinforcement index and moment capacity of reinforced concrete sections. It defines the reinforcement index as the ratio of steel area to the product of the concrete area and the balanced reinforcement ratio. Equations are given to calculate the reinforcement index and moment capacity based on whether the reinforcement index is less than or greater than 0.36, with the moment capacity being equal to the yield strength times the plastic section modulus.
