Please show solution.

1600/x = 400/10-x.

Remember, stress diagram in RCC.

It is mc/t = n/(d - n). But we don't have m here.

Baloch said:   8 years ago
Here, n/d = m x Compressive / m x Comp. + tensile.

M = modular ratio, not given you can take it 18 approx.
Solving will give 9.8 cm almost 8.

E/R is same so equate bending stress/distance from nutral axis for both tensile and compressive.

Your explanation is absolutely correct, Thanks @Ganesh.

Max tensile stress/max. Compressive stress=m (d-h/h) , considering m which is the modular ratio=1 we get 400/1600=1 (10-h/h), by solving we get h=8cm.
