Constant j - Constant j is the ratio of the distance between the centroid of compression and the centroid of tension to depth d.
Ratio of Depth - Ratio of Depth is a quantitative measure comparing the vertical extent of an object or substance to its width.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Ratio of Depth: 0.61 --> No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

j = 1-(k/3) --> 1-(0.61/3)

Evaluating ... ...

j = 0.796666666666667

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.796666666666667 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.796666666666667 ≈ 0.796667 <-- Constant j

Stress in Steel with Tension Reinforcement only

LaTeX Go Tensile Stress in Steel = (Modular Ratio*Compressive Stress at Extreme Concrete Surface*(1-Ratio of Depth))/(Ratio of Depth)

Distance from Extreme Compression to Centroid given Steel Ratio

LaTeX Go Distance from Compression to Centroid Reinforcment = (Area of Tension Reinforcement)/(Beam Width*Steel Ratio)

Area of Tension Reinforcement given Steel Ratio

LaTeX Go Area of Tension Reinforcement = (Steel Ratio*Beam Width*Distance from Compression to Centroid Reinforcment)

Modular Ratio

LaTeX Go Modular Ratio = (Modulus of Elasticity of Steel)/(Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete)

Lever Arm Depth Factor Formula

LaTeX Go

Constant j = 1-(Ratio of Depth/3)
j = 1-(k/3)

What is a Compression Member?

Compression Members are structural elements that are pushed together or carry a load, more technically they are subjected only to axial compressive forces.

What is a Tension Member?

Tension Members are structural elements that are subjected to axial tensile forces. Examples of tension members are bracing for buildings and bridges, truss members, and cables in suspended roof systems.
