Solve for either the steel ratio or the beam width. d. Design needed steel. 2 Hint: Knowing “h”, one can estimate the “d” value. So, two remaining variables can be estimated. There are many acceptable solutions. You can either assume a steel ration and solve for width “b”, or assume a beam width “b” and solve for the steel ratio.
