why no deduction for steel is made in the volume of concrete?..

Answer / arul abraham

Since the diameter of the steel rod compared to the area of concrete in a section is negligible
i.e a beam may have size of 200mmX300mm but the diameter of the steel rod is 12mm(Assume) which is negligible when compared with 200mm or 300 mm.
