Moment of resistance of a rectangular section in bending at the SLS by stress limitation, Mser

Eurocode 2 - Design of concrete sections  Method b11

The moment of resistance of a rectangular section in bending at the SLS by stress limitation is calculated according to method b11.

The parameters needed for the design are the followings:

Es
is the design value of the modulus of elasticity of the reinforcing steel, see § 3.2.7 (4);
fyk
is the yield strength of the reinforcing steel, see § 3.2.2 (3)P;
k3
is a Nationally Determined Parameter, see § 7.2 (5);
Concrete class: see Table 3.1;
Ec,eff
is the effective modulus of elasticity of concrete;
k1
is a Nationally Determined Parameter, see § 7.2 (2);
b
is the width of the concrete cross-section;
d
is the effective depth of the concrete cross-section;
d'
is the distance from the external compressive concrete to the centre of gravity of the compression steel;
Asc
is the cross sectional area of the compression reinforcement;
As
is the cross sectional area of the tensile reinforcement.

This application calculates the serviceability moment of resistance Mser from your inputs. Intermediate results will also be given.
