Question
Find the minimum theoretical width and height of a rectangular concrete section that will make
the beam failure sufficiently ductile.
Given:
Two layers of 2-Ø25 mm bottom reinforcements
fy=414 MPa
f'c=35 MPa
stirrup diameter=minimum required
clear cover=minimum value for beam
vertical clear spacing bet. Iayers=minimum value for beam
height-to-width ratio=2.0
Note: Ductile failure occurs in beams when the extreme reinforcement layer is strained to 0.004
or greater.
