When compression steel is used, the nominal resisting moment of the steel is
assumed to be consisted of two parts.
1- The part due to the compression concrete and the balancing area of tensile
reinforcement.

The strain in the compression steel is checked to determine whether or not it has
yielded. With the obtained strain, the compression stress is determined.

f
003.0
And the value of 2sA is computed with the following expression:
ssys fAfA 2
Also, the net tensile strain in the extreme tensile steel ( εt ) should be calculated to
check the ductility of the section.
005.0t Ø = 0.9
005.0004.0 t Ø < 0.9
To determine the strain and thus the stress in both tensile and compression steel,
the location of the N.A ( the value of 'c') should be determined using the following
quadratic equation:

Design of doubly reinforced concrete beams:
Sufficient tensile steel can be placed in most beams and bigger section can be used
so that compression steel is not needed. But, if section dimensions is restricted and
the required steel area exceeded the maximum steel ratio max , then compression
steel should be used.
Design Procedure:
1- Calculate the factored applied moment.
2- Calculate max and check if max then design as a doubly reinforced beam.
Or calculate Mu max and compare with Mu
3- calculate 1sA where: bdAs max1
