Singly Reinforced Beam Design

This document describes the design of a singly reinforced concrete beam. It calculates the limiting bending moment based on the properties of the concrete and beam geometry. It then checks if the factored bending moment exceeds this limit, in which case a double reinforced beam is required. For a singly reinforced beam, it solves a quadratic equation to calculate the required area of steel reinforcement. It then checks this against the minimum and maximum allowed areas before outputting the final reinforcement requirements.
