Ultimate moment of T-beam (2250 mm flange)
Short answer
Neutral axis lies in flange at 43.76 mm; the section acts as a rectangular beam of width 2250 mm. Ultimate moment capacity is 270.54 kN·m.
Find the ultimate moment resisting capacity of a beam as shown in figure. Consider M 20 and Fe415 grade of concrete and steel. [Figure: T-beam with flange width 2250 mm, flange depth 150 mm, web width 250 mm, overall depth 450 mm, reinforced with 4-25 mm dia bars]
Given (from figure): mm, mm, mm, mm, 4-25 mm bars, mm; M20, Fe415. Effective cover is not given; assume 50 mm, so mm.
Step 1: Position of neutral axis. Assume it lies in the flange ():
mm mm, so the assumption holds. The section behaves as a rectangular beam of width 2250 mm.
Step 2: Check for under-reinforcement
The section is under-reinforced (ductile).
Step 3: Ultimate moment capacity
Answer: kN·m.
