0.36 fck xu bw + 0.45 fck(Bf – bw) yf = 0.87 fy Ast
n
0.36 × 25 × xu × 250 + 0.45 × 25(1000 – 250)[65 + 0.15 xu] = 0.87 × 415 × 8 × × 202

22. (a)
m = 8, j = 6, r = 4
Ds = m – (2j – r) = 8 – (6 × 2 – 4) = 0
So truss is stable and determinate.

xu = 105.025 mm < 120 mm
So, our assumption was correct.

MR = 0.36 × 30 × (05.025 × 400 × (500 – 0.42 × 105.25)
