Week 6

Session 7
Title Design of Beam (IS 456)

Width of beam B = 250 mm

Depth of beam D = 600 mm
Compressive stength of concrete fck = 40 N / mm2
Yield strength of steel fy = 415 N / mm2
Unit weight of concrete Ƴc = 25.00 kN / m3
Clear concrete cover = 30.00 mm

Step 1 Dia of bars for tension layer Φ = 16 mm

Dia of bars for compression laye Φ = 16 mm
Dia of stirrups Φs = 8 mm
Effective Depth d = 554 mm

Beam results
Moment = 75.00 kNm
Shear force = 35.00 kN
Span of the beam = 20.00 m

Step 2 To calculate xumax/d

Xumax/d = 0.48
Xumax = 265.92 mm

Step 3 Determination of Ast

Annex G

Ast = 469.6384 mm2

Step 3 Check for minimum and maximum steel

In compression Min Asc = 0.2%BD
= 300 mm2
Max Asc = 4%BD
= 6000 mm2

In tension Min Ast = 0.85bd/fy

= 283.67 mm2
Max Ast = 4%BD
= 6000 mm2

Step 3 Selection of reinforcing bars

Area of bars = 200.96 mm2
 Number of bars = 2
Provide = 3
Ast provided = 603 mm2

Provide 3T16mm bars with Ast 602.88 sq.mm

Area of bars = 200.96 mm2

Number of bars = 2
Provide = 3
Ast provided = 603 mm2

Provide 3T16mm bars with Ast 602.88 sq.mm

Step 4 Shear check and stirrups

τv = Vu / bd
= 0.25 N/mm2
τc,max = 4 N/mm2
100As/bd = 0.44
τc = 0.46 N/mm2
τv < τc < τc,max
0.25 0.46 4
SAFE

Asv = (Vus*sv)/(0.87*fy*d)
Max Spacing sv = 415.5 mm
= 400 mm
Min Spacing sv = 300 mm
Asv = 52.49 mm2

Min Asv =

Min Asv = 83 mm2

Area of bars = 50.24 mm

Number of bars = 2

Provide 2 L 8mm bars with spacing 300 mm
