1.Determine the SERVICE moment in the member.

2.Determine the distance "a" which is the depth of the compression block under service loads.
3.Calculate the moment arm between the reinforcement and the center of the compression bloc
4.Calculate fs as the moment divided by the moment arm, divided by the area of reinforcement
5.Calculate the maximum reinforcement stress, fs(max) from ACI 350 section 10.6.4.This is ba
6.Verify that actual fs is less than fs(max).
7.Calculate the maximum permissible fs(fs(permissible)) from 10.6.4.
8.Calculate Sd using the fs(permissible)
9.Your design factored moment is your service moment times the Sd factor.No other load facto
10.Use your SdMs value with phi = 1.0.
