3.2.5 Flexural design: span

a) End span (and 1st internal support)
Effective depth, d:
d = h cnom f/2
= 175 25 12/2 = 144 mm
Relative flexural stress, K:
K = MEd/bd2fck = 37.8 106/1000 1442 30 = 0.061
K' = 0.207
or restricting x/d to 0.45
K' = 0.168
= by inspection, section is under-reinforced
(i.e. no compression reinforcement required).
Lever arm, z:
z = (d/2) [1 + (1 3.53K)0.5] 0.95d
= (144/2) [1 + (1 3.53 0.061)0.5] = 0.945d = 136 mm

Area of steel, As:

As = MEd/fydz
= 37.8 106/(500/1.15 136) = 639 mm2/m
(r = 0.44%)
Try H12 @ 175 B1 (645 mm2/m)
b) Internal spans and supports
Lever arm, z:
By inspection, z = 0.95d = 0.95 144 = 137 mm

Area of steel, As:

As = MEd/fydz
= 27.7 106/(500/1.15 137) = 465 mm2/m
(r = 0.32%)
Try H12 @ 225 B1 (502 mm2/m)

Designers may choose to use another form of this equation:

z/d = 0.5 + (0.25 0.882K)0.5 0.95
