Part II: Design of RC Beams

2.1Use a structural analysis software to determine the required design maximum positive
and negative moments, and also determine the design shear forces for the specific beams.

2.2 Design the specific beams for strength, according to AS3600.

In order to determine whether the design adheres to serviceability limits, ∆total must be lower than those
specified in AS1170.0 Appendix C table C1.

2.4 Provide the reinforcement detailing of the specific beams.
