    Reinforced concrete beam design involves analyzing moment and shear diagrams to determine failure modes and necessary reinforcements. Beams are reinforced with tension bars on the bottom for simply supported beams and top for cantilever ends. Shear is highest at supports and is resisted with vertical stirrups spaced closely near supports and spread farther out toward the beam center.

    Reinforced concrete beam design

    Beam stresses under loads

    Moment and shear diagram of a beam under dead and live loads are shown below.

    Failure modes and reinforcements

    1. Concrete is assumed to resist compression only, tension shall be resisted by reinforcements.


    Reinforcements shall be placed at the side of the beam that has tension. For a simply supported
    beam, tension is at the bottom of beam. For a cantilever end, tension is at the top of the beam.
    2. Shear is at its maximum at edge of supports. Diagonal shear cracks is normally developed close to
    the support. Stirrup for shear reinforcement is normally placed vertically to intercept the crack. They
    are normally closer spaced near the support and gradually spread out toward center of the beam.
