Tutorial 2
Design of Restrained Beam
Example 1
simply supported restrained beam S275 carries a 140 mm thick solid concrete slab along with
an imposed load of 7 kN/m2. The beam span is 6.9 m and beams are spaced at 3.6 m intervals.
Slab provides continuous lateral restraint. Concrete density is 2400 kg/m3 and deflection limit
of span/360. Determine,

Check cross-section classification

Bending resistance
Shear resistance
Check Deflection
Example 2
Design Beam AB, consider load from beam X1-X1 only

Density of Reinforced concrete slab = 23.6 kN/m3

Live load (office lobby) = 6 kN/m2
fy = 275 N/mm2
Slab thickness = 100 mm

Find

Ultimate load on beam AB (apply 0.925 to modify unfavourable dead load)
