    This document discusses doubly reinforced beams, which use both tension and compression reinforcement to increase a beam's moment capacity beyond using tension reinforcement alone. Compression reinforcement makes beams more ductile and reduces long-term deflection. It also helps beams withstand stress reversal during earthquakes. Code provisions require compression steel in beams to be enclosed by lateral ties spaced no more than 16 bar diameters, 48 tie diameters, or half the member depth to improve performance.

    Doubly Reinforced Beam

    A. Introduction

    Mn = Mn1 + Mn2
     Compression reinforcement is needed to increase the moment capacity of a beam beyond that of a
    tension reinforced beam with a maximum steel area.
     Compression reinforcement makes beams tough and ductile and reduces long-time deflection of
    beams.
     Compression steel also helps the beam to withstand stress reversal that might occur during
    earthquakes.

    B. Code Provisions
    Section 407.12
    Compression steel in beams must be enclosed by lateral ties, at least 10 mm in size for longitudinal
    bars 32 mm or smaller, and at least 12 mm in size for 36 mm and bundled bars. Deformed wire or welded
    wire fabric of equivalent area is allowed.
    The spacing of ties shall not exceed 16 times the longitudinal bar diameter, 48 times the tie bar or
    wire diameter, or at least dimension of the compression member.
