As the maximum required area needed for steel is shown as 329 mm^2. I'm planning to provide 3 nos. of 16 mm dia bars throughout the beam with no extra bars at the Tension zone as it covers the reinforcement area required. Do we really need to provide extra bars at the tension zone in such a case? Premjit Sir, it'll be so much helpful for me if you guide me through this. Thank you
1) Each floor beam you may have to detail differently if the steel is different
2) Providing 3 -16 through out is extremely un economic. But if you provide , then why do you have to provide extra bar?
Why don't you provide 2 T12 and extra 2T12
3) This is very well explained in the course videos
4) If you are enrolled in the course, login to course and post it in the etabs community.
