Introduction
Reinforced concrete beam design consists primarily of
producing member details which will adequately resist
the ultimate bending moments, shear forces & torsional
moments.
Serviceability requirements must be considered to
ensure that the member will behave satisfactorily under
working loads.
Both ultimate limit state (ULS) and serviceability limit
state (SLS) has to be taken into consideration.
Three (3) basic design stages:
Preliminary analysis & member sizing;
Detailed analysis & design of reinforcement;
Serviceability calculations
Nominal cover, c
The concrete cover is necessary to provide:
safe transfer of bond forces
adequate durability (protect reinforcement
against corrosion and damage)
fire resistance

DESIGN TYPICAL SIMPLY-SUPPORTED BEAM
A simply-supported beam has the following characteristics:Breath, b = 300 mm, Length = 6000 mm
Effective depth, d = 540 mm
fck = 30 N/mm2
fyk = 500 N/mm2
Given permanent load, gk = 60 kN/m, including self weight
Variable load, qk = 18 kN/m
Design the simply-supported beam. Provide the main
reinforcement and shear link. Draw the beam detailing.

3. Loading Analysis
Beam self-weight = (0.25 x 0.65) x 25 = 4.06 kN/m
Permanent load (excluding self-weight) = 20 kN/m
Characteristic permanent action, gk = 24.06 kN/m
Characteristic variable action, qk = 10 kN/m
Design action, wd = 1.35 gk + 1.5qk
= (1.35 x 24.06 + 1.5 x 10)
= 47.48 kN/m
Hence maximum shear force, V = wd L/2 = 190 kN
Hence, maximum design moment, M = wd L2/8
= 47.48 x 82/8
= 379.8 kNm
4. Main Reinforcement
Effective depth, d = h Cnom link bar = 587 mm
d = Cnom + link + bar/2 = 53 mm
K = M/bd2fck = 379.8 x 106/250 x 5872 x 20
=0.22 > Kbal =0.167
Therefore, compression reinforcement, As is required.
d/d = 53/587 = 0.09 < 0.171 (Table 7.1),
therefore, fsc = 0.87fyk

= 0.124 x 250 x 587 (1-20/250) x 20 x 10-3
= 335 kN ( > VEd = 190 kN)
Therefore, angle = 22 and cot = 2.5 as assumed.

EXERCISE 2
This figure shows part of the first floor plan of a reinforced concrete office building.
During construction, slab and beam are cast together. The overall thickness of the slab is
125 mm and the dimensions of the beams are as given in the diagram. The finishes,
ceiling and services form a characteristic permanent action of 1.5 kN/m2. The
characteristic variable action is 3.0 kN/m2. Three metre high brickwall weighing 2.6
kN/m2 is placed over the entire span of all beams. The construction materials consist of
Grade C25 concrete and grade 500 steel reinforcement. For durability consideration, a
nominal cover of 30 mm is required. Based on the information provided, (a) Calculate
the design action carried by beam 2/B-C, (b) Sketch the bending moment and shear
force diagrams of beam 2/B-C, (c) design the beam for ultimate and serviceability limit
state.
