sfactored moment M ulim ultimate moment of resistance MThe design problem is generally of
determining dimensions (cross-sectional) of a beam (b X D) and the area of steel for a
known moment or load. The basic requirement for safety at the limit of collapse (flexure) is
that the because of loads should not exceed the of the section and the failure should be
ductile.

uR is constant and is called as limiting moment of resistance factor.

therefore \[M_{u}\leq M_{u lim}\] Taking equality \[M_{u}= M_{u lim}\] \[=0.36f_{ck}.\frac
{x_{umax}}{d}\left ( 1-\frac {0.42 x_{u max}}{d} \right )bd^{2}\] \[M_{u}=R_{u}bd^{2}\] For the
given material i.e., grade of concrete and type of steel, \[R_{u}=0.36f_{ck}\frac {x_{u max}}
{d}\left ( 1-\frac {0.42x_{umax}}{d} \right )\]

Fixing Dimensions of the Section
reqd

The value of b may be suitably fixed as \[\frac {d}{2} to \frac {d}{3}\] or 200 mm, 250 or 300
mm etc. The effective depth of the section is obtained as : \[d_{reqd}=\sqrt{\frac {M_{u}}
{R_{u}.b}}\] This depth corresponds to the minimum depth required for a balanced section.
It is desirable to adopt a value of d which is larger than d, in order to obtain an under-
reinforced section. Overall depth of the beam should be expressed in rounded figures.
Having fixed the rounded off value of D, correct value of effective depth d can be obtained
as follows : \[d = D – Clear cover -\phi’-\frac {\phi}{2}\] where \phi’ is the diameter of shear
stirrups and \phi is the diameter of main tensile bars.

Area of Tension Steel

stu
st

stDetermining area of tension steel : Now, the dimensions of the beam are fixed and the
required area of tension steel (A) can be calculated such that the ultimate moment of
resistance of section is equal to the factored moment M therefore \[M_{u}=M_{ulim}\] \
[=0.87f_{y}.A_{st}(d-0.42 x_{u max})\] \[A_{st}=\frac {M_{u}}{0.87f_{y}(d-0.42x_{u max})}\] The
above formula is applicable for balanced section. However, if under reinforced section are
designed then A is calculated from the following eqn. \[M_{u}=0.87f_{y}A_{st}.d\left ( 1-\frac
{f_{y}.A_{st}} {bd f_{ck}} \right ) \] [Cl. G.l. (b) of IS 456] This will give a quadratic equation in
terms of A which can be solved easily and the smaller value of root is applicable as solution.
