DESIGN OF B4 -L

GIVEN:
f’c = 21 MPa
fy = 400 MPa
SLAB THICKNESS = 0.125 m

ASSUME:
BEAM DIMENSION : 300 mm by 500 mm

SOLUTION:

1) LOADS

 DEAD LOADS

Slab = (23.6 Kn/m 3)(0.125 m) (1.95 m) = 5.75 kN/m

3
Beam = 0.30 m (0.50 m) (23.6 Kn/m ) = 3.54 kN/m
Floor finish = 1.1 (1.95 m) = 2.15 kN/m
Ceiling = 0.24 (1.95) = 0.47 kN/m
Partition = 1 (1) = 1 kN/m
DL = 12.91 kN/m

 LIVE LOAD
 LL = 4.788 (1.95) = 9.34 kN/m

 FACTORED LOADS
WU = 1.2 DL + 1.6 LL
= 1.2 (12.91 kN/m) + 1.6 (9.34 kN/m)
WU = 30.44 kN/m

 SOLVE FOR RA AND RB

1
RA = { (30.44)(3.9)}
2
RA = RB = 29.68 kN

2) MOMENT AT SUPPORTS

**Assume 1-unit load

M AB =

2
M AB = 5(30.44) L

M AB = + 24.11 kN/m
M BA = - 24.11 kN/m

SOLVE FOR THE TRIAL SECTION

Mu

where:
req’d d =
√ Фb R

b = 300 mm

Ф = 0.90
Mu = 24.11 kN-m

24.11 X 10⁶
req’d d =
√ 0.90 ( 300 )( 3.97)

req’d d = 149.98

available d = 300 – 70 = 230 mm > req’d d = 149.98 mm (OK!)

Thus,
USE d = 230 mm ; h = 300 mm
 b = 300 mm

5) ULTIMATE MOMENT CAPACITY

At Support:
Mu = Ф bd 2 R
= 0.9 (300)(230)2 (3.97)
Mu = 56.70 kN-m > Mu = 24.11 kN-m

Thus,
the beam is singly reinforced.

At Midspan:

Mu = Ф bd 2 R
= 0.9 (300)(180)2 (3.97)
Mu = 56.70 kN-m > Mu = 38.58 kN-m

Thus,
Compression bars are not needed.

SHEAR CARIED BY THE STIRRUPS:
