This document presents the calculations for determining the required steel area (As) and drawing the section of a beam for a civil engineering assignment. It includes details on loads, material strengths, dimensions, and the final design flexural strength, confirming that the beam section is adequate. The required steel area is calculated to be 2945.243 mm², and the section is verified to be tension controlled and safe under the applied loads.

Steel Ratio (Using Table A-3M for f'c = 25 MPa) : ρ := 0.012

Check_Steel_Ratio:= "Singly Reinforced Beam"if ρ < ρmax

" Need to Add Compression Steel " if ρ > ρmax

So, Check_Steel_Ratio = "Singly Reinforced Beam"

Determine of required As.req and select of reinforcing bars :

Steel Area Required : As.req := ρ b  d if ρ < ρmax

"Increase Steel Ratio" if ρ < ρmin
