DESIGN OF DOUBLY REINFORCED BEAM

Data :

Grade of concrete M 25

Grade of steel Fe 500

Effective span of the beam (lef ) = 4.5 m

Bredth of beam ( b ) = 230 mm

Depth of beam ( D ) = 425 mm

Loads on beam :

Self weight of beam ( wb ) = 2.44375 KN/m

Superimposed load on beam (LL ) = 35 KN/m

Total U.D.L on beam ( w ) = 37.44375 KN/m

w = wb + LL

Partial safety factor ( gf ) = 1.5

Max. bending moment ( M ) = 63.19 KN-m

Fac. Max. B.M ( Mu ) = 94.785 KN-m

Mu = M * gf

Let effective cover ( d' ) = 31.875 mm

Effective depth ( d ) = 393.125 mm

Design for flexure :

Mu /bd2 = 2.67 N/mm2

d'/d = 0.08

% of Tensile steel ( Pt ) from SP : 16 = 0.799

% of comp. Steel ( Pc ) from SP : 16 = -0.25

Area of tensile Steel required ( Ast req) = 722 mm2

Area of comp. Steel required ( Asc req) -226 mm2

Dia of bars (tensile )to be provided ( f t ) = 16 mm

Area of 16mm bar 201 mm2 314

No. of 16 mm bars(tensile) required 3.59 no.s 1344

Provided no. of 16mm bars = 4 no.s

Area of tensile Steel to be provided ( Ast ) = 804 mm2

Dia of bars (comp )to be provided ( f c) = 25 mm

Area of 25mm bar 491 mm2

No. of 25 mm bars(comp) required -0.46 no.s

Provided no. of 25mm bars -1 no.s

Area of comp. Steel provided ( Asc ) -491 mm2

Check for max. steel :

Max.Area of Steel ( Ast max ) = 3910 mm2

Hence O.K

Hence provide 4No. of 16 mm dia.at bottom and -1No. of 25mm at top

Fe 500 bars

Design for shear :

Fac. Shear Force ( Vu ) = 200 KN

% of longitudinaltensile Steel ( P ) = 0.89

Shear strength of concrete ( tc ) = 0.61 N/mm2

Table 13 of IS-456-1978 (page 116)

Nominal Shear stress ( tv ) = 2.21 N/mm2

tv = V u / b * d
Shear reinforcement is required

Max. Shear stress ( tcmax ) = 3.2 N/mm2

Table 14 of IS-456-1978 (page 116)

Shear to be resisted by shear rft. ( Vus ) = 144845 N

Vus = Vu - tc * b * d

Grade of shear reinforcement ( fY ) Fe 415

 Dia. Of two legged vertical stirrups ( f ) = 8 mm

Area of two legged stirrups ( Asv ) = 101 mm2

Spacing of stirrups ( S ) = 99 mm

Check for max. spacing :

Max. allowble spacing is least of the following:

1 450 mm = 450 mm

2 0.75 times the effective depth of beam = 295 mm

3 Spacing from min.shear reinforcement = 456 mm

Max. Allowble spacing of stirrups ( Smax ) = 295 mm

Provided spacing of stirrups ( S ) = 75 mm

Hence provide 8 mm two legged verticle stirrups @ 75 mm spacing
