Download Solution PDFIf the depth of neutral axis for singly reinforced rectangular section is represented by " Kd " in working stress design, then the value of " K " for balance section where ' D " is the effective depth,
Answer (Detailed Solution Below)
Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFExplanation:
-
The depth of neutral axis (K D) in a balanced section depends on the limiting tensile stress in steel (σst).
-
The permissible stress in concrete (σcbc) affects overall capacity but not the position of neutral axis in balanced section.
-
The strain compatibility forces the neutral axis to be positioned based on how much the steel can be stressed.
-
Therefore, K depends only on σst
Additional InformationA balanced section is a condition where steel reaches its permissible tensile stress and concrete reaches its permissible compressive stress simultaneously when subjected to bending.
In a bending section, the neutral axis is the horizontal axis where no tensile or compressive stress occurs.
-
Above this axis → compression zone
-
Below this axis → tension zone
