Flexural Analysis and Design of Beams BENDING OF HOMOGENEOUS BEAMS Reinforced concrete beams are nonhomogeneous in that they afe made of two entirely different materials. The methods used in the analysis of reinforced concrete beams are therefore different from those used in the design or investigation of beams composed entirely of steel, wood, or any other structural material. The fundamental principles involved are, however, essentially the same. Briefly, these principles are as follows. 1. A cross section that was plane before loading remains plane under load. This means that the unit strains in a beam above and below the neutral axis are proportional to the distance from that axis.

The bending stress f at any point depends on the strain at that point in a manner given by the: stress-strain diagram of the material, If the beam is made of a homogeneous material whose stress-strain diagram in tension and compression is that of Fig. 3.1a, the following holds. If the maximum strain at the outer fibers is smaller than the strain €, up to which stress and strain are proportional for the given material, then the compression and tension stresses on either side of the axis are proportional to the distance from the axis, as shown in Fig. 3.1b. However, if the maximum strain at the outer fibers is larger than €,» this is no longer true. The situation that then occurs is shown in Fig. 3.1c; i.e., ‘in the outer portions of the beam, where € > ¢,, stresses and strains are no longer propor- tional. In these regions, the magni tude of stress at any level, such asf, in Fig. 3.1¢, depends on the strain €, at that level in the manner given by the stress-strain dia- gram of the material, In other words, for a given strain in the beam, the stress. at @ point is the same as that given by the stress-strain diagram for the same strain. 3. The distribution of the shear stresses » over the depth of the section depends on the shape of the cross section and of the stress-strain diagram. These shear stresses are largest at the neutral axis and equal to zero at the outer fibers. The shear stresses on horizontal and vertical planes through any point are equal. 4. Owing to the combined action of shear stresses (horizontal and vertical) and flex- ure stresses, at any point in a beam there are inclined stresses of tension and com- pression, the largest of which form an angle of 90° with each other. The intensity of the inclined maximum or principal stress at any point is given by isfe Caw GB.) where f= intensity of normal fiber stress v = intensity of tangential shearing stress The inclined stress makes an angle « with the horizontal such that tan 2a = 2»/f. 5. Since the horizontal and vertical shearing stresses are equal and the flexural Stresses are zero at the neutral plane, the inclined tensile and compressive stresses at any point in that plane form an angle of 45° with the horizontal, the intensity of each being equal to the unit shear at the point. 6. When the stresses in the outer fibers are smaller than the proportional limit f,, the beam behaves elastically, as shown in Fig. 3.1b. In this case the following pertains: (a) The neutral axis passes through the center of gravity of the cross section. (b) The intensity of the bending stress normal to the section increases directly with the distance from the neutral axis and is a maximum at the extreme fibers. The stress at any given point in the cross section is represented by the equation f-= (3.2) where / = bending stress at a distance y from neutral axis M = external bending moment at section 7 = moment of inertia of cross section about neutral axis The maximum bending stress occurs at the outer fibers and is equal to Me _M == 3. 1s (3.3) distance from neutral axis to outer fiber = I/c = section modulus of cross section Serax. = where ¢ (©) The shear stress (horizontal equals vertical) v at any point in the cross section is given by = va lb (3.4) where V = total shear at section Q = statical moment about neutral axis of that portion of cross section lying between a line through point in question parallel to neutral axis and near est face (upper or lower) of beam 4 = moment of inertia of cross section about neutral axis = width of beam at a given point (d) The intensity of shear along a vertical cross section in a rectangular beam varies as the ordinates of a parabola, the intensity being zero at the outer fibers of the beam and a maximum at the neutral axis, For a total depth /, the maximum is 3V/bh, since at the neutral axis Q = bh?/8 and I = bh} /12 in Eq. (3.4). REINFORCED CONCRETE BEAM BEHAVIOR Plain concrete beams are inefficient as flexural members because the tensile strength in bending (modulus of rupture, see Section 2.9) is a small fraction of the compressive strength. As a consequence, such beams fail on the tension side at low loads long before the strength of the concrete on the compression side has been fully utilized. For this reason, steel reinforcing bars are placed on the tension side as close to the extreme tension fiber as is compatible with proper fire and corrosion protection of the steel, In such a reinforced concrete beam, the tension caused by the bending moments is chiefly resisted by the steel reinforcement, while the concrete alone is usually capable of resisting the corresponding compression. Such joint action of the two materials is ensured if relative slip is prevented. This is achieved by using deformed bars with their high bond strength at the steel-concrete interface (see Section 2.14) and, if necessary, by special anchorage of the ends of the bars. A simple example of such a beam, with the customary designations for the cross-sectional dimensions, is shown in Fig. 3.2. For simplicity, the discussion that follows will deal with beams of rec- tangular cross section, even though members of other shapes are very common in most concrete structures, 5 (2) & a. Stresses Elastic and Section Uncracked FIGURE 3.3 ‘Uncracked transformed beam section, (@) As long as the tensile stress in the concrete is smaller than the modulus of rupture, so that no tension cracks develop, the strain and stress distribution as shown in Fig. 3.2¢ is essentially the same as in an elastic, homogeneous beam (Fig. 3.16). The only difference is the presence of another material, the steel reinforcement. As shown in Section 1.9a, in the elastic range, for any given value of strain, the stress inthe steel is m times that of the concrete [Eq. (1.6)]. In the same section, it was shown that one can take account of this fact in calculations by replacing the actual steel-and-concrete. cross section with a fictitious section thought of as consisting of concrete only. In this “transformed section,” the actual area of the reinforcement is replaced with an equiv- alent concrete area equal to nA, located at the level of the steel. The transformed, uncracked section pertaining to the beam of Fig. 3.25 is shown in Fig. 3.3. Once the transformed section has been obtained, the usual methods of analysis of elastic homogeneous beams apply. That is, the section properties (location of neu- tal axis, moment of inertia, section modulus, etc.) are calculated in the usual manner, and, in particular, stresses are computed with Eqs. (3.2) to (3.4).

If the concrete compressive stress is less than approximately 4 /! and the steel stress has not reached the yield point, both materials continue to behave elasti- cally, or very nearly so. This situation generally occurs in structures under normal service conditions and loads, since at these loads the stresses are generally of the order of magnitude just discussed. At this stage, for simplicity and with little if any error, it is assumed that tension cracks have progressed all the way to the neutral axis and that sections plane before bending are plane in the deformed member. The situation with regard to strain and stress distribution is that shown in Fig. 3.22, f To compute stresses, and strains if desired, the device of the transformed section can still be used. One need only take account of the fact that all of the concrete that is stressed in tension is assumed cracked, and therefore effectively absent. As shown in Fig. 3.5a, the transformed section then consists of the concrete in compression on. one side of the axis and n times the steel area on the other. The distance to the neutral axis, in this stage, is conventionally expressed as a fraction kd of the effective depth d. (Once the concrete is cracked, any material located below the steel is ineffective, which is why d is the effective depth of the beam.) To determine the location of the neutral axis, the moment of the tension area about the axis is set equal to the moment 4g cof the compression area, which gives 3 (kd)? ia — Ae 0 — malate) = 0 ke 78 fila, | | C=Fbkd and T= ALS, | fama M= Tid = A,fid CE ater M catapameenipanall ( = ql head a fa b) m= cid = bkdja = © iba? 2 2 A, k Tare So Ting k= V (pn)? + 2pn — pn “3 Example 3.2- CRACKED SECTION A rectangular beam has the dimensions shown. f'c=27.6 Mpa, fy=414 Mpa and modulus of rupture=3.50 Mpa.

In this method, frequently referred to as WSD, the dead and live loads to be supported, called working loads or service loads. were first estimated. Then the members of the structure were proportioned so that stresses caleulated by a transformed area did not exceed certain permissible or allowable values. After 1963, the uliimate-strength design method rapidly gained popularity because (1) it makes use of a more rational approach than does WSD, (2) it uses a more realistic consideration of safety, and (3) it provides more economical designs. With this method (now called strength design), the working dead and live loads are multiplied by certain load factors (equivalent to safety factors), and the resulting values are called factored loads. The members are then selected so they will theoretically just fail under the factored loads Even though almost all of the reinforced concrete structures the re: will be designed by the strength design method, it is still useful to be fam several reasons: ler will encounter iw with WSD for 1, Some designers use WSD for proportioning fluid-containing structures (such as water tanks and various sanitary structures). When these structures are designed by WSD, stresses are kept at fairly low levels, with the result that there is appreciably less cracking and less consequent leakage. (If the designer uses sirength design and makes use of proper crack control methods. as described in Chapter 6. there should be few leakage problems.) 2. The ACI method for calculating the moments of inertia to be used for deflection caleu- lations reqttires some knowledge of the working-stress procedure. 3. The design of prestressed concrete members is based not only on the strength method but also on clastic stress calculations at service load conditions. ‘The reader should realize that working-stress design has several disadvantages. When using the method, the designer has little knowledge about the magnitudes of safety factors against collapse: no consideration is given to the fact thal different safety factors are desirable for dead and live loads; the method does not account for variations in resistances and loads, nor does it account for the possibility that as loads are increased, some increase: at different rates than others, In 1956, the ACI Code for the first time included ultimate-strength design, as an appendi: although the concrete codes of several other countries had been based on such considera- tions for several decades. In 1963, the code gave ultimate-strength design equal status with working-stress design: the 197] code made the method the predominant method and only briefly mentioned the working-stress method, From 1971 until 1999, each issue of the code permit- ted designers to use working-stress design and set out certain provisions for its application. Beginning with the 2002 code, however, permission is not included for using the method. ‘Today's design method was called ultimate-strength design for several decades, bul, as mentioned, the code now uses the term strength design. The strength for a particular reinforced concrete member is a value given by the code and is not necessarily the true ultimate strength of the member. Therefore, the more general term strength design is used whether beam strength, column strength, shear strength, or others are being considered. 3.2 Advantages of Strength Design Among the several advantages of the strength design method as compared to the no-longer- permitted working-stress design method are the following: 1. The derivation of the strength design expressions takes into account the nonlinear shape of the stress-strain diagram. When the resulting equations are applied, decidedly better estimates of load-carrying ability are obtained. 2. With strength design, a more consistent theory is used throughout the designs of rein- forced concrete structures. For instance, with working-stress design the transformed-area or straight-line method was used for beam design, and a strength design procedure was used for columns, 3. A more realistic factor of safely is used in strength design, The designer can certainly estimate the magnitudes of the dead loads that a structure will have to support more accurately than he or she can estimate the live and environmental loads. With working- stiess design, the same safety factor was used for dead, live. and environmental loads This is not the case for strength design. For this reason, use of different loud or safety factors in strength design for the different types of loads is a definite improvement. 4. A structure designed by the strength method will have a more uniform safety factor against collapse throughout. The strength method takes considerable advantage of higher- strength steels, whereas working-stress design did so only partly. The result is better economy for strength design. 5. The strength method permits more flexible designs than did the working-stress method. For instance. the percentage of steel may be varied quite a bit. As a result, large sections may be used with small percentages of steel, or small sections may be used with large percentages of steel. Such variations were not the case in the relatively fixed working- stress method, If the same amount of steel is used in strength design for a parti beam as would have been used with WSD, a smaller section will result. If the same size section is used as required by WSD, a smaller amount of steel will be required, DESIGN OF TENSION-REINFORCED RECTANGULAR BEAMS M, = 6M, Py S OP, V, 5 oY, a.

Where concrete cover is prescribed for a class of structural members, it is measured to the outer edge of stirrups, ties, or spirals if transverse reinforcement encloses main bars: to the outermost layer of bars if more than one layer is used without stimnips oF ties; or to the metal end fitting or duct on post-tensioned prestressing stcel; or to the nutermost part of the bead on headed bars. ‘The condition “concrete surfaces exposed to earth of weather” refers to ditect exposure to moisture changes and not just to temperature changes. Slab or thin shell saffits are not usually considered directly exposed unless subject to alternate wetting and drying, including that due to condon- sation conditions or direct leakage from exposed top surface, run off, or similar effects 7.7.4 — Bundled bars | For bundled bars, minimum specified concrete cover ‘shail not be less than the equivalent diameter of the bundle, but need not be greater than 50 mm; except for conerete cast against and permanently exposed to | earth, where specified concrete cover shall not be less ‘than 75 mm. R7.7.6 — Corrosive environments: Where conerete will be exposed to external sources of chlorides in service, such as deicing salts, brackish water, seawater, or spray from these sources, concrete should be proportioned to satisfy the requirements for the applicable ‘exposure class in Chapter 4. These include minimum air content, maximum w/e, minimum strength for normal weight and lightweight concrete, maximum chloride ion in ‘concrete, and cement type. Additionally. for corrosion ion, a specified concrete cover for reinforcement not less than 50 mm for walls and slabs and not less than 65 mm for other members is tecommended. For precast concrete members manufactured under plant control conditions, a specified concrete cover not less than 40 mm for walls and slabs and not less than SO mm for other members is recommended. For reasons that were explained in Chapter |, the present design of reinforced concrete structures is based on the concept of providing sufficient strength to resist hypotheti- cal overloads. The nominal strength of a proposed member is calculated based on the best current knowledge of member and material behavior. That nominal strength is modified by a strength reduction factor &, less than unity, to obtain the design strength. The required strength, should the hypothetical overload stage actually be realized, is found by applying /oad factors y, greater than unity, to the loads actually expected, These expected service loads include the calculated dead load, the calcu- lated or legally specified live load, and environmental loads such as those due to wind, seismic action, or temperature. Thus reinforced concrete members are proportioned so that, as shown in Eq. (1.5), M, = $M, Py = OP, VY, = OV, where the subscripts n denote the nominal strengths in flexure, thrust, and shear, respec- tively, and the subscripts u denote the factored load moment, thrust, and shear.

Distress is obvious from observing the large deflections and widening of concrete cracks asso- ciated with yielding of the steel reinforcement, and measures can be taken to avoid total collapse. In addition, most beams for which failure initiates by yielding possess substantial strength based on strain-hardening of the reinforcing steel, which is not accounted for in the calculations of M,. Because of these differences in behavior, it is prudent to require that beams be designed such that failure, if it occurs, will be by yielding of the steel, not by crushing of the concrete. This can be done, theoretically, by requiring that the reinforcement ratio p be less than the balance ratio p, given by Eq. (3.28). In actual practice, the upper limit on p should be below p, for the following reasons: (1) for a beam with p exactly equal to p,, the compressive strain limit of the concrete would be reached, theoretically, at precisely the same moment that the steel reaches its yield stress, without significant yielding before failure; (2) material prop- erties are never known precisely; (3) strain-hardening of the reinforcing steel, not accounted for in design, may lead to a brittle concrete compression failure even though pmay be somewhat less than p,; (4) the actual steel area provided, considering standard reinforcing bar sizes, will always be equal to or larger than required, based on selected reinforcement ratio p, tending toward overreinforcement; and (3) the extra ductility provided by beams with lower values of p increases the deflection capability substantially and thus provides warning prior to failure.

They are used for loads applied to all types of members, not just beams and slabs. The loads are increased to attempt to account for the uncertainties involved in estimating their magnitudes. How close can you estimate the largest wind or seismic loads that will ever be applied to the building that you are now occupying? How much uncertainty is present in your answer? ‘You should note that the load factors for dead loads are much smaller than the ones used for live and environmental loads. Obviously, the reason is that we can estimate the magnitudes ‘of dead loads much more accurately than we can the magnitudes of those other loads. In this regard, you will notice that the magnitudes of loads that remain in place for long periods of time are much less variable than are those loads applied for brief periods, such as wind and snow.

These include the following: 1, Beam proportions. Unless architectural or other requirements dictate the proportions of reinforced concrete beams. the most economical beam sections are usually obtained for shorter beams (up to 20 ft or 25 11 in length). when the ratio of d to b is in the range of 1} to 2. For longer spans, better economy is usually obtained if deep, narrow sections are used. The depths may be as large as three or four times the widths. However. today’s reinforced concrete designer is often confronted with the need to keep members rather shallow to reduce floor heights. As a result, wider and shallower beams are used more frequently than in the past. You will notice that the overall beam dimensions are selected to whole inches. This is done for simplicity in constructing forms or for the rental of forms, which are ustially available in I-in. or 2-in. increments. Furthermore, beam widths are often selected in multiples of 2 in. or 3 in. 2. Deflections, Considerable space is devoted in Chapter 6 t the topic of deflections in reinforced concrete members subjected to bending. However, the ACI Code in its Table 9.5(a) provides minimum thicknesses of beams and one-way slabs for which such deflection calculations are not required. These values are shown in Table 4.1, The purpose of such limitations is to prevent deflections of such magnitudes as would interfere with the use of or ‘cause injury to the structure. If deflections are computed for members of lesser thicknesses than those listed in the table and are found to be satisfactory, it is not necessary to abide by the thickness rules. For simply supported slabs, normal-weight concrete, and Grade 60 steel. the minimum depth given when deflections are not computed equals £/20, where £ is the span length of the slab. For concrete of other weights and for steel of different yield strengths, the mininuun depths required by the ACI Code are somewhat revised, as indicated in the foototes to Table 4.1. The ACI does not specify changes in the table for concretes weighing between 120 Ib/ftand 145 Ib/ft because substitution into the correction expression given yields correction factors almost equal to 1.0. ‘The minimum thicknesses provided apply only to members that are not supporting or attached to partitions or other construction likely to be damaged by large deflections. 9.5.2.2 — Where deflections are to be computed, deflections that occur immediately on application of load shall be computed by usual methods or formulas for elastic deflections, considering effects of cracking and reinforcement on member stiffness.

Estimated beam weight. The weight of the beam to be selected must be included in the calculation of the bending moment to be resisted, because the beam must support itself as well as the external loads. The weight estimates for the beams. selected in this text are generally very close because the authors were able to perform a litte preliminary paperwork before making their estimates. You are not expected to be able to glance at a problem and give an exact estimate of the weight of the beam required. Following the same procedures as did the authors, however, you can do a little figuring on the side and make a very reasonable estimate. For instance, you could calculate the moment due to the external loads only, select a beam ize, and calculate its weight, From this beam size, you should be able to make a very good estimate of the weight of the final beam section. es Practical method for estimating beam sizes is to assume a minimum overall depth, 4, equal to the minimum depth specified by Table 4.1 [ACI-318-11, Table 9.5(a)] if deflections are not to be calculated, The ACI minimum for the beam in question may be determined by referring to Table 4.1. Then the beam width can be roughly estimated equal to about one-half of the assumed value of / and the weight of this estimated beam calculated = bh/144 times the concrete weight per cubic foot, Because concrete weighs approximately 150 pef (if the weight of steel is included), a quick-and-dirty calculation of self-weight is simply b h because the concrete weight approximately cancels the 144 conversion factor. 4. Selection of bars. After the required reinforcing area is calculated, Appendix A, Table A.4 is used to select bars that provide the necessary area. For the usual situations, bars of sizes #11 and smaller are practical. It is usually convenient to use bars of one size only in a beam, although occasionally two sizes will be used. Bars for compression steel and stirrups are usually a different size, however. Otherwise the ironworkers may become confused. 5. Cover. The reinforcing for concrete members must be protected from the surround- ing environment: that is, fire and corrosion protection need to be provided. To do this, the reinforcing is located at certain minimum distances from the surface of the concrete so that a protective layer of concrete, called cover, is provided. In addition, the cover improves the bond between the concrete and the steel. In Section 7.7 of the ACI Code, specified cover is given for reinforcing bars under different conditions. Values are given for reinforced concrete beams, columns, and slabs: for cast-in-place members: for precast members; for prestressed members; for members exposed to earth and weather; for members not so exposed; and so on.

Minimum spacing of bars. The code (7.6) states that the clear distance between parallel bars cannot be less than 1 in.!*! of less than the nominal bar diameter. If the bars are placed in more than one layer, those in the upper layers are required to be placed directly over the ones in the lower layers, and the clear distance between the layers must be not less than 1 in. A major purpose of these requirements is to enable the concrete to pass between the bars. The ACI Code further relates the spacing of the bars to the maximum aggregate sizes for the same purpose. In the code Section 3.3.2. maximum permissible aggregate sizes are limited to the smallest of (a) one-fifth of the narrowest distance between side forms, (b) one-third of slab depths, and (c) three-fourths of the minimum clear spacing between bars. A reinforcing bar must extend an appreciable length in both directions from its point of highest stress in order to develop its stress by bonding to the concrete. The shortest length in which a bar's stress can be increased from 0 to f, is called its development length. Reinforcing bars. Note the supporting metal chairs, 7.6 — Spacing limits for reinforcement 7.6.1 — The minimum clear spacing between parailel bars in a layer shall be d,, but not less than 25 mm. See also 3.3.2. 7.6.2 — Where parallel reinforcement is placed in two ‘of more layers, bars in the upper layers shall be placed directly above bars in the bottom layer with clear distance between layers not less than 25 mm. 7.6.3 — In spirally reinforced or tied rainforced compression members, clear distance between langi- tudinal bars shall be not less than 1.5d), nor less than 40 mm. See also 3.3.2, 7.6.4 — Clear distance limitation between bars shall apply also to the clear distance between a contact lap splice and adjacent splices or bars. 7.6.5 — In walls and slabs other than concrete joist construction, primary flexural reinforcement shall not ibe spaced farther apart than three times the wall or ‘slab thickness, nor farther apart than 450 mm. 7.6.6 — Bundled bars 7.6.6.1 — Groups of parallel reinforcing bars bundied in contact to act as a unit shall be limited to four in any one bundle. 7.6.6.2 — Bundled bars shall be enclosed within ‘stirrups or ties. 7.6.6.3 — Bars larger than No. 36 shall not be bundied in beams. 7.6.6.4 — Individual bars within a bundle terminated within the span of flexural members shall terminate at different points with at least 40d, stagger. 7.6.6.5 — Where spacing limitations or concrete cover requirements are based on bar diameter, d,, a unit of bundled bars shall be treated as a single bar of a diameter derived from the equivalent total area. oe % S ? 8 FIGURE 4.6 Bundled-bar arrangements. 4.4 Miscellaneous Beam Considerations This section introduces two general limitations relating to beam design: lateral bracing and deep beams, Lateral Support is unlikely that laterally unbraced reinforced concrete beams of any normal proportions will buckle laterally, even if they are deep and narrow, unless they are subject to appreciable lateral torsion. As a result, the ACI Code (10.4.1) states that lateral bracing for a beam is not required closer than 50 times the least width, b, of the compression flange or face. Should appreciable torsion be present, however, it must be considered in determining the maximum spacing for lateral support. Skin Reinforcement for Deep Beams Beams with web depths that exceed 3 ft have a tendency to develop excessively wide cracks in the upper parts of their tension zones. To reduce these cracks, it is necessary to add some additional longitudinal reinforcing in the zone of flexural tension near the vertical side faces of their webs, as shown in Figure 4.4. The code (10.6.7) states that additional skin reinforcement must be uniformly distributed along both side faces of members with h> 36 in. for distances equal to /i/2 nearest the flexural reinforcing. The spacing, s, between this skin reinforcement shall be as provided in ACI 10.6.4. These additional bars may be used in computing the bending strengths of members only if appropriate strains for their positions relative to neutral axes are used to determine bar stresses. The total area of the skin reinforcement in both side faces of the beam does not have to exceed one-half of the required bending tensile reinforcement in the beam. The ACI does not specity the actual area of skin reinforcing: it merely states that some additional reinforcement should be placed near the vertical faces of the tension zone to prevent cracking in the beam webs. Some special requirements must be considered relating to shear in deep beams, as described in the ACI Code (11-7) and in Section 8.14 of this text. Should these latter pro- nS Fequire more reinforcing than required by ACI Section 10.6.7, the larger values will govern, Reinforcement in tension, negative bending hia Reinforcement in tension, positive bending Fig. R10.6,7—Skin reinforcement for beams and joists with h > 900 mm, EXAMPLE 2.

Overreinforced Beams According to the ACI Code, all beams are to be designed for yielding of the tension steel with €, not less than 0.004 and thus. p = p,,,. Occasionally, however, such as when analyzing the capacity of existing construction, it may be necessary to calculate the flexural strength of an overreinforced compression-controlled member, for which J, is less than f, at flexural failure. In this case, the stecl strain, in Fig. 3.11, will be less than the yield strain, but can be expressed in terms of the concrete strain €, and the still-unknown distance c to the neutral axis: (3.42) From the equilibrium requirement that C = T, one can write OSS fi be = pak bd Substituting the steel strain from Eq. (3.42) in the last equation, and defining k, = c/d, one obtains a quadratic equation in k, as follows: ki + mpk, — mp = 0 Here, p = A,/bd as usual, and m is a material parameter given by Ek, me 085Bf am Solving the quadratic equation for k,, 3 ka = y/mp + (%#) - (3.44) The neutral axis depth for the overreinforced beam can then easily be found from c= k,d, after which the stress-block depth a = ,c. With steel strain e, then computed from Eg, (3.42), and with f, = E,e,, the nominal flexural strength is M, = asa - s) (3.45) ‘The strength reduction factor # will equal 0.65 for beams in this range.

If they are supported on two opposite sides only, they are referred to as one-way slabs because the bending is in one direction only—that is, perpendicular to the supported edges. Should the slab be supported by beams on all four edges, it is referred to as a nvo-way slab because the bending is in both directions. Actually, if a rectangular slab is supported on all four sides, but the long side is two or more times as long as the short side, the slab will, for all practical Purposes, act as a one-way slab, with bending primarily occurring in the short direction. Such slabs are designed as one-way slabs. You can easily verify these bending moment ideas by supporting a sheet of paper on two opposite sides or on four sides with the support situation described. This section is concerned with one-way slabs; two-way slabs are considered in Chapters 16 and 17, It should be realized that a large percentage of reinforced concrete slabs fall into the one-way class. A one-way slab is assumed to be a rectangular beam with a large ratio of width to depth. Normally, a 12-in.-wide piece of such a slab is designed as a beam (see Figure 4.7), the slab being assumed to consist of a series of such beams side by side. The method of analysis is somewhat conservative because of the lateral restraint provided by the adjacent parts of the slab. Normally, a beam will tend to expand laterally somewhat as it bends. but this tendency to expand by each of the 12-in. strips is resisted by the adjacent 12-in.-wide strips. which tend to expand also. In other words, Poisson’s ratio is assumed to be zero. Actually, the lateral expansion tendency results in a very slight stiffening of the beam strips, which is neglected in the design procedure used here.
