the fact that they are subjected to relatively small moments. Although
this is not recommended from an economic point of view since we
are using more steel than actually needed.

Nominal shear strength provided by concrete:
Vc = 0.17 ∗ λ ∗ �fc′ ∗ bw ∗ d = 0.17 ∗ 1 ∗ √28 ∗ 200 ∗ 345 = 62.1 𝑘𝑁
Strength reduction factor for shear ∅ = 0.75(d)
𝑉𝑢 38.14
𝑉𝑠 = − 𝑉𝑐 = − 62.1 = −10.856
∅ 0.75
This means that the concrete strength alone is enough to resist the
applied shear.
∴ Only min shear reinf. Is required for this beam.

• Three designs have been adopted for flexure and their distribution is
shown on the beams plan which is attached with this report.
• Beams with web reinf. + min reinf. And beams with min reinf. only
have been shown on the beams plan which is attached with this
report.
• The calculations for the rest of the beams are done in an Excel sheet
which is attached with this report.
