 TYPES OF BEAM

 Based on the placement

of reinforcement:

 Based on the shape :

Rectangular Beam T Beam L Beam I Beam

 TYPES OF BEAM

 According to design:  According to Equilibrium

 Balanced Beam  Statically Determinate Beam
 Under Reinforced Beam  Statically Indeterminate Beam
 Over Reinforced Beam

 Based on support condition

Simply supported beam Cantilever beam Semi-continuous beam

 TYPES OF BEAM

Fixed ended beam Propped cantilever Beam

Over hanging beam Continuous beam

 TYPES OF BEAM

 Spandrel beam:
 SIZE OF BEAM

(BNBC-8.3.4)

b
 The width shall not be less than 10″ (250 mm)

 b/h ≥ 0.3
 The width shall not be more than the width of the h
supporting member.

 Beam span not less than 3h .

 Depth of Beam

 Depth of beam considering serviceability (Deflection) condition

(According to BNBC 6.2.10)
Supporting Simply Both Ends One End Cantilever
Condition Continuous continuous

Depth l/16 l/21 l/18.5 l/8

Here l is span length of beam

 Deflection of Cantilever and simply supported beam is greater than others so

thickness is high.
 REINFORCEMENT IN BEAM

Reinforcement is
provided when beam is
subjected on flexural
stress
Plain concrete is very weak in
resisting flexural stress.

Case of reinforcement of beam

Placed in formwork.

Detailing of Beam: (Relating with Reinforcement)

1. Quantity of reinforcement
2. Spacing Of Bars,
3. Placement of Bars,
4. Lapping and Curtailment of bars,
5. Anchorage and Development length of bar,
6. Covering of Reinforcement,
7. Placement of Bars at the Joint of Beam and
Columns.
 REINFORCEMENT IN BEAM
 Types of the Reinforcement in Beam:

 Longitudinal Reinforcement:  Transverse Reinforcement:

Resist flexural, shear and torsional stress. Resist shear and diagonal tension,
Hold main bar in right place,
Reduce shear crack.
 REINFORCEMENT IN BEAM
  Minimum Reinforcement (ACI : 10.5.1) : bw
As200bw d/fy.

 If the beam is T beam then bw replaced by either 2bw or the width

of the flange whichever is smaller.
(ACI : 10.5.2)

 SPACING OF LONGITUDINAL BAR

Minimum Clear Spacing between longitudinal bars in Column (ACI code 7.6.1) :
The minimum spacing is the larger of 1 in, a bar diameter, or 1.33 times the
maximum aggregate size.
