The cross-section of the reinforced concrete beam having an effective depth of 500 mm is shown in the figure (not drawn to scale). The grades of concrete and steel used are M35 and Fe550, respectively. The area of tension reinforcement is 400 mm². It is given that corresponding to 0.2% proof stress, the material safety factor is 1.15 and the yield strain of Fe550 steel is 0.004.
