A rectangular beam has a width of 250 mm and is reinforced for tension only. Strength of materials are fc'=28 MPa, fy=275 MPa. Allowable stresses for compression is 0.45fc' and for tension in steel, fs=0.60fy. For balanced design and cracked-section method, determine the area of reinforcement required.
