Assignment-III: Design for Shear, bond and

development length of reinforcement in beams

1. A simply supported rectangular concrete beam 360 mm wide and 480 mm effective depth
is having 4 HYSD steel (Fe415) bars of 18 mm diameter to resist the maximum bending
moment at the center, 2 HYSD steel bars are bent at 45 degree with the horizontal and
carried at the top near the support and 2 HYSD steel bars are continued near the end. In
addition to this, two legged vertical stirrups 8 mm diameter of HYSD steel are also
provided at 150 mm spacing. Determine the total shear strength of beam at the transverse
section crossing the bent up bars. The grade of concrete is M20.
2. A reinforced concrete beam of rectangular section 300 mm wide is reinforced with 4 bars
of 25 mm diameter at an effective depth of 600 mm. The beam has to resist a factored shear
force of 400 kN at support section. Assuming fck = 25 N/mm2 and fy = 415 N/mm2, Design
vertical stirrups for the section.
3. A reinforced concrete beam of 6 m span is uniformly loaded and is reinforced with 5 bars
of 20 mm diameter on the tension site at an effective depth of 400 mm. Find the distance
from the center of the beam where one of the bars can be curtailed. Adopt M20 grade
concrete and Fe415 HYSD bars.
4. A cantilever beam having a width of 200 mm and overall depth 400 mm is reinforced with
3 bars of 20 mm diameter as tension steel and 3 bars of 12 mm diameter as compression
reinforcement. The beam supports a total uniformly distributed factored load of 100 kN
over a span of 2 m. Using M20 grade concrete and Fe415 HYSD bars, compute the
anchorage length required for the reinforcements.
