Longitudinal Reinforcement
The longitudinal reinforcement shall be designed to
resist an equivalent bending moment, Me,, given by
Me,=M+M,
‘where
M = bending moment at the cross-section, and
(l+ D/b)
M,=T 17 , where T is the torsional
moment, D is the overall depth of the
beam and b is the breadth of the beam.
