Design For Bending For Rectangular Sections (Beams EC2)

This document provides steps for designing rectangular beams to resist bending according to EC2. It defines the parameter K which represents the ratio of bending moment to the limiting bending capacity. If K is less than or equal to K', the limiting value, compression reinforcement is not required. The depth to the neutral axis, area of tension reinforcement, and other values are then calculated. If K exceeds K', compression reinforcement is required and additional steps are described to design the beam accordingly.

Design for Bending for Rectangular Sections (Beams: EC2)


Calculate the value of K from;
K = MEd/(fck*bw*d2)
Then calculate the limiting value of K, known as K’ from;
K’ = (2*η*αcc /γC)*(1 – λ*(δ – k1)/(2*k2))*( λ*(δ – k1)/(2*k2)) for fck ≤ 50 N/mm2
K’ = (2*η*αcc /γC)*(1 – λ*(δ – k3)/(2*k4))*( λ*(δ – k3)/(2*k4)) for fck > 50 N/mm2
where

ki = moment redistribution factors

δ = moment redistribution ratio ( = 1.0 in the current release)

γC = the NDP partial safety factor for concrete

αcc = coefficient to take account of long term effects on compressive strength of concrete

λ = 0.8 for fck ≤ 50 N/mm2

= 0.8­(fck­50)/400 for 50 < fck ≤ 90 N/mm2

η = 1.0 for fck ≤ 50 N/mm

= 1.0­(fck­50)/200 for 50 < fck ≤ 90 N/mm2

For design in accordance with UK NA, Irish NA, Malaysian NA and Singapore NA;
γC = 1.5
αcc = 0.85
For design in accordance with EC2 Recommendations;
γC = 1.5
αcc = 1.0

IF K ≤ K’ THEN compression reinforcement is not required.


Calculate the lever arm, z from;
z = MIN(0.5*d*[1 + (1 – 2*K/(η*αcc/γC))0.5], 0.95*d)

The area of tension reinforcement required is then given by;


Ast,reqd = MEd/(fyd*z)
where
fyd = fyk/γS
γS = the NDP partial safety factor for reinforcement

The depth to the neutral axis, xu is given by;

xu = 2*(d­z)/λ

For design in accordance with UK NA, EC2 Recommendations, Irish NA, Malaysian NA and
Singapore NA;
γS = 1.15

IF K > K’ THEN compression reinforcement is required.


Calculate the depth to the neutral axis from;
xu = d*(δ­k1)/k2 for fck ≤ 50 N/mm2
xu = d*(δ­k3)/k4 for fck > 50 N/mm2

Calculate the stress in the reinforcement from;


fsc = MIN(Es*εcu3*(1­(d2/xu), fyd)
where
d2= the distance from the extreme fibre in compression to the c of g of the compression
reinforcement

Calculate the limiting bending strength, M’ from;


M’ =K’*fck*bw*d2

Calculate the lever arm from;


z = 0.5*d*[1 + (1 – 2*K’/(η*αcc/γC))0.5]

The area of compression reinforcement required, As2,reqd is given by;


As2,reqd = (MEd­M’)/(fsc*(d­d2))

The area of tension reinforcement required, Ast,reqd is given by;


Ast,reqd = M’/(fyd*z) + As2,reqd*fsc/fyd
