Program BDFLCK 477
materials and the loading information. The program first checks that the
percentage of compression steel specified is within BS 8110's allowable
limits for rectangular beams (see Section 4.10), before it outputs the areas
of reinforcement, and the ratios of x/d and zld at the ultimate limit state.
If the percentage of tension steel required, or the xld value or zld value,
does not satisfy BS 8110's requirements, warning messages will be printed
out.

Figure 12.5-1 shows the Header of the program BDFLCK, which checks
whether the span/depth ratio of a rectangular or flanged beam section is
within BS 8110's allowable limit, as described in Section 5.3. Instead of
using the data in Tables 5.3-2 and 5.3-3, the program calculates the
modification factors for the tension reinforcement and the compression
reinforcement from the equations given in BS 8110: Clauses 3.4.6.5 and
3.4.6.6 (see also eqns 5.3-1(a) and (b)).
