Question

Minimum area of tensile reinforcement shall not be less than that given by formula

Answer 1

Hi,Very good question ,

Beams :

Tension Reinforcement,

Minimum Reinforcement = minimum area of tension reinforcement shall not be less than

Maximum area of tension reinforcement shall not exceed 0.04 bD.

Compression reinforcement,

Maximum area of compression reinforcement shall not exceed 0.04 bD

Compression reinforcement in beams is provided with stirrups for effective lateral restraint.

shear reinforcement,

Minimum shear reinforcement in the form of stirrups shall be calculated using,
