COURSE OUTCOME:
Illustrate the concepts of Reinforced Cement Concrete, compare various design
methodologies, identify grades of concrete and steel, types of loads acting on structures,
and analyze beams.
1.1 INTRODUCTION:
1.1.1 Concept of reinforced concrete structures:
M65 65
High strength
M70 70
concrete
M75 75
M80 80
TABLE 1.1
3. IS 456:2000 further recommends that minimum grade of concrete shall be not
less than M20 in RCC work.
6. The maximum strain in the tension reinforcement in the section at failure shall
not be less than [fy/(1.15Es)]+0.002 where fy = characteristic strength of steel
and Es = modulus of elasticity of steel.
Effective depth (d): It is the distance between the centroid of the area of tension
reinforcement and maximum compression fiber.
d = D-d’. Where, D = overall depth, d’= effective cover.
Neutral axis: It is an imaginary line passes along the length of member at which there
is no tension and compression.
Moment of resistance (M.R): It is the resisting moment offered by beam section to
resist the bending moment at the section.
Lever arm (Z): The arm distance of the resisting couple is known as the lever arm of
the section. That is the distance between the point of application of the resultant
compression and tension forces. Couple unit is N-mm.
Lever arm (Z) = d-0.42xu.
Critical neutral axis (Xu,max): It is the neutral axis at a balanced state or the neutral
axis of balanced section.
Actual neutral axis (Xu): The actual neutral axis is based on the principle that the
moment of areas of compression and tension zones at the neutral axis are equal.
Total compression = total tension
0.36.fck.b.xu. = 0.87.fy.Ast
Xu = (0.87. fy.Ast) / (0.36. fck.b)
Where,
Fck = characteristic compressive strength of concrete in N/mm2
b = breadth or width of section in mm
xu = actual neutral axis in mm
fy = characteristic strength of steel in N/mm2
Ast = area of steel in tension in mm2
FIGURE 1.1
When the sections are reinforced in such a way that the tension steel reaches the yield
strain εy = (fy / (1.15. εs )) + 0.002 and simultaneously the concrete strain is εsc =
0.0035, the section is termed as balanced.
In balanced section,
xu /d = xu,max / d.
εsc = εy
TABLE 1.3
FIGURE 1.2
In under reinforced sections the tension steel reaches yield strain at load lower than
that the load at which concrete reaches failure strain.
An ample of warning of the impending failure is reflected due to the ductility of such
a beam for economy and for this reason the beams are usually designed as under
reinforced.
xu /d < xu,max / d.
εsc < εy.
3. Over reinforced section:
FIGURE 1.3
Over reinforced sections are those in which concrete reaches the yield strain earlier
than that of steel.
Over reinforced beams fail by compression without much warning and with very few
cracks and negotiable distortions.
Over reinforced beams are not preferred since they require large quantities steel and
they fail suddenly without any warning.
xu /d > xu,max / d.
εsc > εy.
FIGURE 1.4
• The free ends of the stirrups are anchored in the compression zone of beam
to the anchor bars (hanger bars) or compressive bars.
• Depending upon the magnitude of the shear to be resisted the vertical
stirrups may be one legged, two legged, four legged and so on. The spacing
of the stirrups near the support is less as compared to the spacing near the
mid span since shear force is maximum at the supports.
2. Inclined stirrups: it is also provided generally at 45° for resisting diagonal
tension as shown in figure. They are provided through out length of the beam.
FIGURE 1.5
• Some of the longitudinal bars in a beam can be bent up near the supports
where they are not required to resist bending moment (bending moment is
very less near support).
• These bent up bars resist diagonal tension.
• Equal number of bars is to be bent at both sides to maintain symmetry.
• These bars usually bent at 45° as shown in figure.
• This system is used for heavier shear force.
FIGURE 1.6
Additional length of bars is required beyond given critical section for purpose of
anchorage is called development length.

1.9 T-BEAMS:
In actual practice, T-sections and L-sections are more common than the
rectangular section since part of the RC slab, monolithic with the beam and participate
with the structural behavior of the beam. For the same load and span T-beam and L-
beam carries more moment of resistance than rectangular beams.
FIGURE 1.8
When a concrete slab is cast monolithically with and, connected to rectangular
beams, a portion of the slab above the beam behaves structurally as a part of the
beam in compression. The slab portions are called the flange and beam the web. If
the flange projections are on either side of the rectangular web or rib, the resulting
cross section resembles the T shape and hence is called a T-beam section. On the
other hand, if the flange projects on one side, the resulting cross- section resembles
an inverted L and hence is termed as L-beam. The flanged beams are shown in above
Figure.
Advantages of T-beam are
i) Beam and slab are casted monolithically hence; casting can be done at a time.
ii) Slab and beam combined together to carry more bending moment.
iii) For same section, T-beams have more M.R (flexural strength) than that of
rectangular beam.
It is that portion of slab which acts integrally with the beam and extends on
either side of the beam forming the compression zone. The effective width of flange
depends upon the span of the beam, thickness of slab and breadth of the web. It also
depends upon the type of loads and support conditions.
As per code (clause 32.1.2 of IS: 456-2000)
Effective flange width for T and L beams are calculated as follows:
a) For T-beams: bf = l0 /6 + bw +6Df
b) For L-beams: bf = l0 /12 + bw +3Df
c) For isolated beams:
i) For T-beams: bf = l0 /[( l0/b)+4] + bw
ii) For L-beams: bf = 0.5l0 /[( l0/b)+4] + bw
Where,
bf = effective width of the flange.
bw = breadth of the web
Df = thickness of the flange, l0 = distance between point of zero moment (for
continuous beam, l0 = 0.7x (effective span of beam).
FIGURE 1.9
• First segment will be like a rectangular section and steel area Ast1.
• Second segment will be like a beam section having concrete section of area [(b f-
bw)Df] and steel area of Ast2.
• Our consideration in design and analysis for depth of neutral axis x u > Df will
be ascertain the compressive force taken up by concrete in second segment
and its line of action.
• If xu ≤ Df, the beam can be thought of as a rectangular section of width b f.
The stress distribution for various values of xu is as shown in fig. 1.31.
FIGURE 1.10
Xu/d = (0.87.fy.Ast)/ (0.36.fck.b.d)
Calculate xu
If xu≤ Df (Assumption is correct)
Where, Df = depth of flange or slab
2. Note down the value of xu,max /d from IS:456-2000
Calculate xu,max
3. If xu< xu,max section is under reinforced, calculate the moment of resistance by
the following expression
Mu=0.87. fy. Ast.d. [1-(( fy. Ast)/( fck.b.d))]
If xu> xu,max section is over reinforced, calculate the moment of resistance by
the following expression
Mu.lim= 0.36. fck.bf.xu,max.( d-0.42.xu,max)
FIGURE 1.11
1. Find the flange width of the following simply supported T-beam. Effective
span = 6m, C/C distance of adjacent panels = 3.0m, Breadth of the web
=350mm, Thickness of slab = l00mm.
Solutions:
Given: l = 6m, bf = 300, Df = l00mm.
Since the beam is simply supported, the distance between the points of zero moments
l0 = l = 6m
Clear span of the slab to the left or right of the beam
= C/C distance of adjacent panels — bw =3000 — 350 = 2650mm
Effective width of the flange is the least of the following:
i) bf = l0 /6 + bw +6Df
= 6000 + 350 + 6 x100= l950mm
ii) bf = bw + Half of the clear distance to the adjacent beams on either side
= 350 + 2650/2 + 2650/2 = 3000mm
Therefore, bf = 1950mm.
2. Find the effective flange Width of the following simply supported isolated
T-beam. Effective span = 6m, Breadth of the web = 300mm, Thickness of
slab = 100mm, Width of the support = 230mm, Actual width of the flange
= 850mm.
Solution:
Given: 1 =6m, b=300 mm, Df = 100 mm. b=850 mm
Since the beam is simply supported, the distance between the points of zero moments
1o = 1 = 6m
For isolated T-beam, effective width of the flange is the least of the following
1. bf = l0 /[( l0/b)+4] + bw = 6000/((6000/300)+4)+300 = 550mm
2. bf = actual width of the flange = 850 mm
Therefore, bf = 550 mm.
Solution:
Given: bw = 325mm, bf = l300mm, Df = l00mm, d = 600mm, fck = 20N /mm2, fy =
415N/mm2, Ast = 4000mm2.
Assuming Actual Neutral Axis (xu) lies within the flange (i.e, xu ≤ Df )
Xu/d = (0.87.fy.Ast)/ (0.36.fck.b.d) = 0.87x415x4000 / (0.36x1300x20) = 154.3mm > Df
(100mm)
Assumption is wrong, neutral axis lies below the flange.
Df / d = 100 / 600 = 0.166 < 0.2
The value of xu by using relation C1+C2=T
C1 = 0.36.fck.xu.bw = 0.36x20x325x xu = 2340 xu
C2 = 0.45.fck.(bf – bw).Df = 0.45x20x100x(1300-325) = 877500 N
T = 0.87. fy. Ast = 0.87x415x4000 = 1444200 N
2340 xu + 877500 = 1444200
xu = 242.18mm
xu,max = 0.48d = 0.48x600 = 288mm
xu< xu,max, section is under reinforced.
Df / xu = 100 / 242.18 = 0.413 < 0.43.
Hence use equation for Mu calculation
Mu= 0.36. fck.bw.d2.(xu/d).( 1-0.42.(xu/d)) + 0.45.fck.(bf – bw).Df.(d-(Df/2))
Mu= 0.36x (242.18/600)x(1-0.42x(242.18/600))x325x6002x20 + 0.45x20x(1300-
325)x100x(600-(100/2))
= 282557218 + 482625000 = 765.18x106 N-mm = 765.15 kN-m.
beam = 600 mm, Width of rib = 300mm, Area of tension steel = 2455 mm2,
Effective cover = 40 mm, fck = 15 Mpa, fy = 415 Mpa.
Solution:
Given: bf =1500 mm, Df = 100 mm, D = 600 mm, b w = 300 mm, Ast = 2455 mm2, eff.
cover = 40 mm,
fck = 15 N/mm2,fy = 415 N/mm2.
Assuming Actual Neutral Axis (xu) lies within the flange (i.e, xu ≤ Df )
Xu/d = (0.87.fy.Ast)/ (0.36.fck.b.d) = 0.87x415x2455 / (0.36x1500x15) = 109.42mm >
Df (100mm)
Assumption is wrong, neutral axis lies below the flange and Df / xu <0.43
Df / d = 100 / 600 = 0.166 < 0.2
The value of xu by using relation C1+C2=T
C1 = 0.36.fck.xu.bw = 0.36x15x300x xu = 1620 xu
C2 = 0.45.fck.(bf – bw).Df = 0.45x15x100x(1500-300) = 810000 N
T = 0.87. fy. Ast = 0.87x415x2455 = 886377.75 N
1620 xu+ 810000 = 886377.75
xu = 47.14mm
xu < Df
Therefore assumption is that Df / xu > 0.43,
C2 value changes, C2 = 0.45.fck.(bf – bw).yf
yf = (0.15 xu + 0.65Df) = 0.15x xu+ 0.65x100 = 0.15x xu + 65
C2 = 0.45x15x (1500-300) x (0.15x xu + 65) = 1215 x xu + 526500
Now using relation C1+C2=T
1620 xu+ 1215 x xu + 526500 = 886377.75
xu = 126.94mm
Df / xu = 100 / 126.94 = 0.78 > 0.43,
Assumption is correct.
xu,max = 0.48d = 0.48x(600-40) = 268.80mm
xu < xu,max, section is under reinforced.
