A reinforced concrete beam is 225 x 650 mm (bxd). The tension steel consists of 2H16 and 2H20 bars and the compression steel is 2H12 bars. Determine the ultimate moment capacity of the section, assuming fck = 25 N/mm2and fyk = 500 N/mm2. The cover to centre of steel is 50mm. Based on the propose design, make a design check

Bars

In civil engineering, bars refer to steel reinforcement bars or rebars. These are structural members primarily used for reinforcement purposes in masonry works. A bar is characterized by its cross-sectional area, which is negligible compared to its length. Bars are usually manufactured by steel which is uniform throughout the length, or by meshing multiple steel wires. Other materials of the bar include carbon steel, glass fiber, carbon fiber, and basalt fiber. The reinforcing bars are coated with epoxy resins and other materials to enhance some of their properties including corrosion resistance.
