DESIGN OF SINGLY REINFORCED BEAM

Data Required

Clear span 3 m
Grade of
concrete fck 25 N/mm2
Grade of
steel (Fy) 415 N/mm2
Live Load 6 kN/m
Width of Beam B 300 mm

Design

Effective depth=(span/20)

Eff. Depth reqd d 150 mm

Clear Cover 50 mm

Therefore, overall depth pro D 200 mm

Eff.Span= Clear span+ Effective Depth

Effective span 3150 mm

Load Calculation

Self wt of beam 1.5 kN/m

LL 6 kN/m

Total UDL w 7.5 kN/m

Factored load wu 11.25 kN/m

Ultimate moments and shear forces

Mu = (0.125 x Wu x L2) 13.95352 kNm or 13953516 Nmm

Vu = (0.5 x Wu x L) 17.71875 kN or 17718.75 N

Tension Reinforcements
 Mu, lim=0.138 x fck x b x d2

ThereforeMu,lim 23.2875 kNm

Check: Mu< Mu,lim

Therefore the section is under reinforced

Ast=(( 0.5 x fck x bx d)/ fy)*(1-(1-((4.6*Mu)/(fck*b*d2))1/2)

Ast 288.4736 mm2

As per IS 456: 2000 pg-46

Minimum Ast= (0.85*b*d)/fy

ThereforeMinimun Ast 92.16867 mm2

Diameter of bar 8 mm

Number of bars 5.741911 or 6 Nos

provide 6 nos of 8mm dia bars as reinforcement

Check for shear stress

Nominal shear stress=(shear force due to design loads(Vu)/(b x d))

0.39375 N//mm2

Percentage of steel=100 x( Ast/bd) 0.641053

Refer table 19 IS:456

Maximum shear stress > Nominal shear stress

Hence ok

Provide nominal shear reinforcements as per Is coderecommendations

Choose diameter of bar 6 mm

 Asv 2*0.785*d*d 56.52 mm2

Spacing Sv 2.175*Asv*fy/b 170.0546 mm

Max. Sv=least of(0.7d or 300mm) 105

provide 6 dia bars at 105 mm c/c throughout the length of the beam

Check for Deflection

Deflection(Effective span/Effective depth)

ThereforeActual Deflection 21 mm

Allowable deflection 20 mm
