Clear cover: The thickness of concrete from the surface of reinforcement bar to the
nearest edge of concrete is called Clear cover (Nominal cover)
Effective cover: The thickness of concrete from the centre of reinforcement bar to the
nearest edge of concrete is Effective cover.
Lever arm: The vertical distance between compression force and tension fore is called
Lever arm.

5. NEUTRAL AXIS [N.A.]
• The Axis which separate compression zone and tension zone in the cross section of
a beam is known as “Neutral Axis.”
• For simply supported beam, the c/s above N.A. is in compression, while the cross
section below N.A. is in Tension.
• C = Compression force in Concrete
= 0.36 fck b xu
• T = Tension Force in Steel
= 0.87 fy Ast
But, C = T
0.36 fck b xu = 0.87 fy Ast

6. MAX. DEPTH OF NEUTRAL AXIS [N.A.]
The failure of beam may be due to the failure of concrete or failure of steel.
Failure due to concrete is called brittle failure, while failure due to steel is called ductile
failure.
When amount of steel in beam is more than that required for balanced condition, the
neutral axis moves towards bottom for balancing.
Therefore tensile stress in steel reaches its ultimate value, before maximum compressive
stress is reached in concrete, and steel will fail by yielding. Thus, the brittle failure of
concrete can be avoided.
Therefore, the depth of neutral axis up to which brittle failure (compressive failure) of
concrete can be avoided is known as maximum depth of neutral axis (xu max.).
To avoid brittle failure, xu ≯ xu max. Therefore, a good designer ensures ultimate failure by first
yielding of steel in tension followed by compression failure of concrete.

8. TYPES OF BEAM SECTIONS:
1. Balanced Section (Limiting Section)
• Compressive strain in concrete and Tensile strain in steel reaches their limiting
strain values simultaneously.
• Both the materials steel and concrete will fail at the same time.
• xu = xu max., Mu = Mu lim., Pt = Pt lim.
• Moment of Resistance (Mu)can be calculated w.r.t. steel or concrete.
• Mu = C × Z or Mu = T × Z

9. TYPES OF BEAM SECTIONS:
2. Under Reinforced section
• Tensile strain in steel reaches limiting strain
0.87 𝑓𝑦
𝐸𝑠
+ 0.002, earlier to compressive
strain in concrete reaching the limiting value of 0.0035.
• So, steel will fail before concrete. Steel is a ductile material and yields before
failure.
• Such failure is called tension failure or ductile failure.
• As steel is ductile material, it gives sufficient warning before failure, hence the
under reinforced sections are preferred by designers.
• xu < xu max., Mu < Mu lim., Pt < Pt lim.

11. TYPES OF BEAM SECTIONS:
3. Over Reinforced section
• R.C. sections in which the limiting strain in concrete (0.0035) is reached earlier than
the yield strain of steel (
0.87 𝑓𝑦
𝐸𝑠
+ 0.002), are called over reinforced section. (O.R.S)
• At failure steel is not yet yielded and concrete burss out.
• As the concrete is brittle material, the failure is brittle and sudden.
• As there is no warning of failure in such sections, IS code recommends avoiding
such designs.
• xu > xu max., Mu > Mu lim., Pt > Pt lim.
