Assignment-II: Limit State Design of Beam

Rectangle singly reinforced beam

Analysis problem
1. A reinforced concrete rectangular section of size 300 x 600 mm (effective) is reinforced by
3 bars of 20 mm diameter. Determine the safe uniformly distributed load that the beam can
carry over a simply supported effective span of 6 m. The concrete mix and steel used are
of M20 and Fe415 grades respectively. For the given environmental exposer, the effective
cover to reinforcement is 50 mm.
2. A reinforced concrete beam of rectangular section 200 mm x 550 mm deep is reinforced
with 6 bars of 20 mm diameter at an effective cover of 50 mm. Using M20 grade of concrete
and Fe415 HYSD steel bars, compute the safe moment of resistance of the section.
Design problem
3. Design the minimum effective depth required and the area of reinforcement for a
rectangular beam having a width of 300 mm to resist an ultimate moment of 200 kNm
using M20 grade concrete and Fe415 HYSD bars.
4. Design a singly reinforced rectangular beam of 8 m simply supported span to carry a
uniformly distributed service load of 20 kN/m over the entire span. Beam construction uses
M30 grade CC and Fe500 grade steel. Assume suitable self-weight of beam and b/d ratio
of 1/2.
Rectangle doubly reinforced beam
Analysis problem
1. A doubly reinforced rectangular RC beam has 300 mm width and 600 mm effective depth.
The beam is reinforced with 5 bars of 25 mm diameter in tension zone and 2 bars of 25
mm in compression zone at an effective cover of 60 mm. Using M20 grade CC and Fe415
grade steel, determine an ultimate moment of resistance.
Design problem
2. A rectangular reinforced concrete beam of width 400 mm and effective depth 600 mm is
to be design to support an ultimate moment of 600 kNm. using M20 grade concrete and
Fe415 HYSD bars. Design suitable reinforcements in the beam at an effective cover of 60
mm from top.

width of rib 250mm, Effective depth 565 mm, area of tensile reinforcement 1256 mm2. If
M25 concrete and Fe415 HYSD bars are used, estimate the ultimate flexural strength of
the section using IS 456:2000 code provisions.
2. A T-beam section has following dimensions.
bf = 3000 mm, Df = 150 mm, bw = 300 mm, effective depth d =1000mm.

3. Determine the ultimate moment of resistance of T-beam section having following
dimensions.
bf = 1500 mm, Df = 120 mm, bw = 300 mm, effective depth d =600mm, Ast (8 bars of
25mm) = 3925 mm2, M20 CC and fe415 steel.
Design problem
1. A RCC T-beam has following data:
Flange width (bf) = 800 mm, Web width (bw) = 300 mm, effective depth (d) =500mm.
Flange thickness (Df) = 90 mm, applied moment = 160 kNm. Design the section’s tensile
steel Ast using M20 CC and Fe415 steel.
2. Design the T-beam sections tensile steel if the T-beam has the following data:
Mu (ultimate MR) = 355 kNm, bf = 750 mm, Df = 90 mm, bw = 250 mm, effective depth
d =500mm, M20 CC and Fe415 steel.
