Beam Design
Beam Dimensions
Assumed Width of Beam B = 230 mm
Assumed Overall depth of Beam D = 400 mm
Number of Span = 2
Overall length of Beam L = 10900 mm
Length of Each Span L1 = 5450 mm
Width of Support Wsup = 230 mm
Clear cover = 30 mm Moderate Exposure
Slab Dimensions
Overall depth of Slab Ds = 110 mm
Short Length of Slab Lx = 3500 mm
Long Length of Slab Ly = 5450 mm
Thickness of floor Finish tf = 20 mm
Load Calculations
Dead Loads:
Dead Load of Beam DLbeam = 1.6675 kN/m
Dead Load of Slab on Beam DLslab = 35.61 kN
Dead Load of Floor Finish on Beam DLff = 6.22 kN
Total Dead load of Slab and floor finish on per meter run
of beam = 7.67 kN/m
Total Dead Load on Beam Span WDL = 10.00 kN/m
Live Loads:
Live load transferred to beam from slab WLL = 8.00 kN/m
Effective Depth of beam required for Max moment is given Mux = 0.138sckbd2
Required thickness of slab dreq = 348.74 mm
Design Check OK
Adopt Overall depth of 400 mm and effective depth 370 m deff = 370 mm
Since Nominal Shear Stress is greater than shear strength in slabs, the difference in stress shall be resisted
by the shear reinforcements
Mu/bd2 = 839.17
Since Actual value of L/d is less than Theoretical L/d, the beam is safe in deflection
