Note: Calculation of Ast

Ast = Max {B, C+D, A+D} (for Mu > 0)

Ast = Bn (for Mu = 0)
Where,
Compression reinforcement required for

Maximum Spacing Criteria

Basic
Spc1 = 300 mm
Spc2 = 165 mm
For Torsion
(X1 = 230, Y1 = 430)
Spc3 = X1 = 230 mm
Spc4=(X1+Y1)/4 = 165 mm

Skin reinforcement

Beam Width = 300 mm

Beam Depth = 500 mm
Tu = 33.97 kNm
Tcr/4 = 4.01 kNm
Tu > Tcr/4 ,
Hence Skin Reinforcement is Provided
Al Tor. (max) = 922.7 sqmm
Asr = Max(Al(min)(Tor.), Al(Tor.)) x (2D / (2B+2D))
= 581.97 sqmm
SR provided = 2-#16EF
Asr provided = 804.24 sqmm

Spacing Criteria

Maximum Permissible Spacing = 285 mm

Provided Spacing = 129 mm Hence OK
