Effective width of isolated T-beam,

l0 5000

d 450
xm = 0.48 d = 0.48 450 = 216 mm

d 50
= = 0.11
d 450
From the given table,
fsc = 353 N/mm2 (for d /d = 0.11)
fcc = 0.45 fck
Let us assume that neutral axis is in flange
Force of tension = Force of compression
0.87 f y Ast = 0.36 fck bf x + (fsc Asc fcc Asc )
x = 75.46 mm
76 mm < Df (=120 mm)
It means neutral axis lies in flange.
Moment of resistance of T-beam is
= 0.36 fck b x (d 0.42x) + (fsc 0.45 fck) Asc (d d )
= 0.36 25 932 76(450 0.42 76) + (353 0.45 25) 1000 (450 50)
= 403.22 106 Nmm
403 kNm
Thus, the moment resistance of T-beam is 403 kNm.

Hence, beam is not safe in bond.

2. (b)
(i) At point A, M u = 0 and Pu is maximum, so failure occurs due to axial compression. At point C,
Pu = 0 and Mu is is non zero, so failure occurs due to bending only.
(ii) Portion AB is known as compression zone and portion BC is known as tension zone.
(iii) In region BC, region of tension failure at C, the ultimate moment is Mu white the ultimate axial load is
zero. As load is of tension in nature, it produce negative moment and then net moment will be less than
Mu, so the moment carrying capacity will increases.
(iv) The minimum eccentricity is at the point A, so the load is maximum.
