Minimum -----> Ast/bd = 0.85/fy, max-----0.04bd or 4%.

Sumit kumar said:   8 years ago
According to me, it is 0.17%.

Sanju Khinwal said:   8 years ago
Minimum percentage of tension steel is 0.17 and maximum 4%.

Abbas said:   8 years ago
Over rainforced section is not desirable.

Vaseem khan said:   8 years ago
4% of cross section area.

SAMEER said:   8 years ago
If the area of steel is greater than 4% than the bonding between concrete and steel can nog occur because it requires large dia bars that has less surface area and hence weaken the structure.

Minimum :It is. 85/yeild strength (%) of gross sectional area/

Maximum :6% and can be reduced to 4% under special consideration.

4 percent is too much.
According to IS 1978 AROUND 0.0162BD,
MIN 0.0035.
