The Essentials of Reinforced Concrete Design Part IV. Rectangular Beams with Compression Reinforcement
We have seen already that with a rectangular reinforced concrete beam reinforced on the tension side only, when the bending moment exceeds a certain amount the concrete
reaches its limiting stress before the steel and that we cannot sustain a greater bending moment without over-stressing the concrete.
