Primary Beam size (600 X 225) Self weight of beam = (0.6 X 0.23 X 24) = 3.312 KN/m Design load = 1.4 X 3.312 KN/m = 4.64 KN/m Add to existing load; 46.27 + 4.64 = 50.91kn/m Hence for beam 2/C-D, all load acting on it is

Assume main bar and cover = 25 mm, d = 600 - 25 - (25/2) = 562.5 mm 845.27 X 106 / 30 X 225 X 562.52 = 0.396 > 0.156 (doubly reinforcement)

To counter this measure, we can suggest that we have to provide deeper concrete section for this beam. Further calculation was made for beam 1 / C-D and still the result is just the same. Since the existing structure cant be alter and resist the load, we decide not to design the rainwater harvesting system in this building. l/d allow = 0.675 X 20 = 13.5 < 16.36 (The deflection is unacceptable) Fs = 2/3 X fy X (As req/ As Prov) = 2/3 X 460 X (3658.17 / 3930 ) = 285.45

Actual, span/d = 9200/ 562.5 = 16.36

Since the new load to resist is massive in number, we have to check if this new load can be resist by the existing beam structure in this area.
