"Rectbeam" - Rectangular Concrete Beam Analysis/Design: Program Description
"Rectbeam" - Rectangular Concrete Beam Analysis/Design: Program Description
Program Description:
"RECTBEAM" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis/design of rectangular
beam or column sections. Specifically, the required flexural reinforcing, ultimate moment capacity, bar spacing
for crack control, moments of inertia for deflection, beam shear and torsion requirements, and member capacity
for flexure (uniaxial and biaxial) with axial load are calculated. There is also a worksheet which contains
reinforcing bar data tables. This version is based on the ACI 318-05 Code.
This program is a workbook consisting of eleven (11) worksheets, described as follows:

10. In the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets, for cases with axial load only (compression or tension) and no
moment(s) the program calculates total reinforcing area as follows:
Ast = (Ntb*Abt) + (Nsb*Abs) , where: Abt and Abs = area of one top/bottom and side bar respectively.
11. In the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets, for pure moment capacity with no axial load, the program assumes
bars in 2 outside faces parallel to axis of bending plus 50% of the total area of the side bars divided equally
by and added to the 2 outside faces, and program calculates reinforcing areas as follows:
for X-axis: As = A's = ((Ntb*Abt) + (0.50*Nsb*Abs))/2
for Y-axis: As = A's = ((Nsb*Asb+4*Atb) + (0.50*(Ntb-4)*Atb))/2
12. In the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets, for Point #8 (Pn = 0.1*f'c*Ag) on the interaction curve the
corresponding value of Mn is determined from interpolation between the moment values at Point #7
(balanced condition, = 0.65) and Point #9 (pure flexure, = 0.90).
13. In the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets, design capacities, Pn and Mn, at design eccentricity,
e = Mu*12/Pu, are determined from interpolation within the interaction curve for the applicable axis.
14. In the "Biaxial" worksheet, the biaxial capacity is determined by the following approximations:
a. For Pu >= 0.1*f'c*Ag, use Bresler Reciprocal Load equation:
1/Pn = 1/Pnx + 1/Pny - 1/Po
Biaxial interaction stress ratio, S.R. = Pu/Pn <= 1
b. For Pu < 0.1*f'c*Ag, use Bresler Load Contour interaction equation:
Biaxial interaction stress ratio, S.R. = (Mux/Mnx)^1.15 + (Muy/Mny)^1.15 <= 1
15. The "Rebar Data" worksheet contains tables of reinforcing bar data which include various bar properties,
reinforcing bar areas based on spacing, and various plain welded wire fabric properties.
16. This program contains numerous comment boxes which contain a wide variety of information including
explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a comment box
is denoted by a red triangle in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the
desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)

Notes:
1. Straight development and Class "B" splice lengths shown in above tables are
based on uncoated bars assuming center-to-center bar spacing >= 3*db without
ties or stirrups or >= 2*db with ties or stirrups, and bar clear cover >= 1.0*db.
Normal weight concrete as well as no transverse reinforcing are both assumed.
2. Standard 90 deg. hook embedment lengths are based on bar side cover >= 2.5"
and bar end cover >= 2" without ties around hook.
3. For special seismic considerations, refer to ACI 318-05 Code Chapter 21.
