xu, max/d 0.46 0.00417 434.8
Mu, lim 30 kNm
Type of Section DRS Doubly Reinforced Section
2
Area of tension reinforcement, Ast 744 mm
2
Area of compression reinforcement 316 mm
Provide 16 mm dia. 4 nos. bars. tension reinforcement 804 OK
Provide 16 mm dia. 2 nos. bars. comp. reinforcement 402 OK

Calculation for Shear

% of tension reinforcement 1.166%
Equivalent Shear 84 kN
2
Nominal shear stress, 1.22 N/mm
= 2.02

2
Design shear stress, = 0.65 N/mm
Hence, shear reinforcement is to be provided for a shear force of
(1.22 - 0.65) 300 x 230 = 39330 N

2
Assuming 8 φ 2-legged stirrups, Asv = 101 mm

210 mm c/c

Provide 8 mm dia 2-legged stirrups @ 210 mm c/c.
