Problem- A doubly reinforced rectangular concrete beam has a width of 30mm and an effective depth of 500 mm. The beam is reinforced with 2200 mm² of steel in tension and 628 mm² of steel in compression. The effective cover for compression steel is 50 mm. Assume that both tension and compression steel yield. The grades of concrete and steel used are M20 and Fe250, respectively. The stress block parameters (rounded off to first two decimal places) for concrete shall be as per IS 456 : 2000. Find the depth of neutral axis.

Problem-
A doubly reinforced rectangular concrete beam has a width of 30mm and an effective
depth of 500 mm. The beam is reinforced with 2200 mm² of steel in tension and 628
mm² of steel in compression. The effective cover for compression steel is 50 mm.
Assume that both tension and compression steel yield. The grades of concrete and steel
used are M20 and Fe250, respectively. The stress block parameters (rounded off to first
two decimal places) for concrete shall be as per IS 456 : 2000.
Find the depth of neutral axis.
