If area of steel is more than 4% it creates difficulties in compaction which results in voids & ultimately weakens the section.

According is 456:2000 maximum area of tension reinforcement in beams shall not exceed 4% of total gross cross sectional area.

Clause 26.5.1.1 b) states the max reinforcement criteria as 0.04bD.

Beam is tension member, In option there is highest tension is option C.

What is the Minimum % of tension steel in RCC beam for fe500 steel ?

Anil pawar said:   1 decade ago
According to Indian standard code: the minimum area of tension reinforcement shall be not less that (is 456:2000. Pg no. 46) so should not be exceed 4%.

If tensile reinforcement of beam should exceed 4% of total gross area then some crack will be developed in concrete.

Area of steel- m time of concrete.

According to the clause 26.5.1.1 b) maximum reinforcement-the maximum area of tension reinforcement shall not exceeds 0.04 bD.

So, 0.04 bD/bD*100 = 4%.

According to ACI the minimum reinforcement should 18% for 60 grade steel and 0.2 for 40 grade steel.
