Steel Ratio Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Steel Ratio = (Area of Tension Reinforcement)/(Beam Width*Distance from Compression to Centroid Reinforcment)
ρ_{steel ratio} = (A)/(b*d')
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Steel Ratio - Steel Ratio is defined as the ratio of steel to the beam area at which the yielding of steel happens simultaneously with the crushing of concrete.
Area of Tension Reinforcement - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Tension Reinforcement is the space occupied by the steel in order to impart tensile strength for the section.
Beam Width - (Measured in Meter) - Beam Width is defined as the shortest/least measurement of the beam.
Distance from Compression to Centroid Reinforcment - (Measured in Meter) - Distance from Compression to Centroid Reinforcment is defined as the distance from extreme compression surface to the centroid of compression reinforcement, in (mm).

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Tension Reinforcement: 10 Square Meter --> 10 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Beam Width: 26.5 Millimeter --> 0.0265 Meter (Check conversion here)
Distance from Compression to Centroid Reinforcment: 7547.15 Millimeter --> 7.54715 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

ρ_{steel ratio} = (A)/(b*d') --> (10)/(0.0265*7.54715)

Evaluating ... ...

ρ_{steel ratio} = 50.0001312503445

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

50.0001312503445 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

50.0001312503445 ≈ 50.00013 <-- Steel Ratio

What is the Ratio of Steel in Concrete Slab?

The Ratio of Steel in Concrete constitutes thumb Rule for Steel in slab as 1% – 1.5% of wet volume of concrete.

What is maximum steel ratio?

The maximum reinforcement ratio is the largest steel area that can be put into concrete members like columns and beam. Finally, the required reinforcement area of the designed concrete member should not exceed the maximum reinforcement ratio and should be less than the minimum reinforcement ratio.

How to Calculate Steel Ratio?

Steel Ratio calculator uses Steel Ratio = (Area of Tension Reinforcement)/(Beam Width*Distance from Compression to Centroid Reinforcment) to calculate the Steel Ratio, The Steel Ratio is defined as the ratio of area of tension reinforcement to that of the product of beam width and distance from extreme compression to centroid of reinforcement. Steel Ratio is denoted by ρ_{steel ratio} symbol.
