What is the Reinforcement in Compression Zone?

The minimum steel used as reinforcement in doubly reinforced concrete in the compression zone. From the practical aspects of consideration, therefore, the minimum steel as compression reinforcement should be at least 0.4% of the area of concrete in compression or 0.2% of the whole cross-sectional area of the beam so that the doubly reinforced beam can take care of the extra loads.

What is Longitudinal Reinforcement & Min and Max percentage of Longitudinal Reinforcement?

Longitudinal bars are vertical bars, which are in the vertical alignment within the column and horizontal alignment in the slab and beam. They resist bending forces in the beam, axial compression in the column and bending stress in slab.
The longitudinal reinforcement is provided to resist bending forces in the beam, axial compression in the column and bending stress in the slab. the percentage of longitudinal reinforcement should be a min of 0.8 per cent of the gross area and a maximum of 4 per cent of the gross area.
