Scenario: Concrete beam, single layer of bottom reinforcing, Applied Mu = 0.75Mn
Question: Does anyone have a reference for how to calculate the theoretical force in the reinforcing steel of this beam, when subjected to 75% of it's nominal moment capacity?
Let's assume, when fully loaded to it's nominal moment capacity, the steel strain is et=0.005 and concrete strain ec=0.003.
