Calculate Trial Design Area of Steel Required For A Known Beam Section:
 
Calculation:
Designer/Checker:
   
Input:  
   
 
(Note: All input Metric units are converted to English units for the equations below and then the output English units are converted back to Metric)
 
 
     
Maximum moment on the beam (Mu - lb-ft or N-m)
Depth to steel of beam (d - in or cm)
Steel yield strength (fy - psi or kPa)
Distance from centroid of compressed area to extreme compression fiber (dc - in or cm)
Note: Typically for iterative design assume dc = 0.1d.
