ACI Minimum Steel Ratio for Doubly Reinforced Beams
ACI Minimum Steel Ratio for Doubly Reinforced Beams
(OP)
Hi everybody,
Anyway I recently started working at a structural firm, and I have a (probably) stupid question to ask.
When you are designing a doubly reinforced concrete beam, does the top steel (or some percentage of the top steel) count towards the minimum steel ratio? Or is the top steel ignored? I couldn't find anything in the literature online, so I figured I'd ask you guys.
Thanks for the help!
