Step Task Stan: Beam Design Procedure

1. The document outlines a 12 step beam design procedure that includes determining design life, assessing actions on the beam, determining loading combinations, checking requirements for durability, cover, and fire resistance. 2. It also describes analyzing the structure to obtain critical moments and shear forces, designing flexural reinforcement, checking shear capacity, deflection, and bar spacing. 3. The key assumptions in beam design are that concrete resists compression and steel resists tension. The moment of resistance is calculated using a simplified stress block model where concrete stress is 0.45fcu and steel stress is 0.95fy.

Concrete is strong in compression but weak and unreliable in tension.


•
Reinforcement is required to resist tension due to moment.
•
A beam when loads applied,
•
Concrete at the top resists compression and the steel resists tensionat bottom.
•
Design is based on the strength of the section calculated from thestress distribution at
collapse.(at ultimate condition, not inserviceability conditions)
•
Therefore beam section design for the ultimate state.
•
An elastic section analysis is later carried out for checking theserviceability limit states.

Assumptions and stress-strain diagrams
1. The strains in the concrete and reinforcement are derived assuming thatplane sections remain
plane;2. The stresses in the concrete in compression are derived using either(a)the design
stress-strain curve with=1.5 or(b)the simplified stress block where the depth of the
stress block is 0.9 of the depth to the neutral axis
Note that in both cases the strain in the concrete at failure is 0.0035;
3. The tensile strength of the concrete is ignored;4. The stresses in the reinforcement are derived
using=1.05.5. Where the section is designed to resist flexure only, the lever arm should not be
assumed to be greater than 0.95 of the effective depth.

According to the beam section and the strain and stress diagrams,
The concrete stress is, 0.67 f cu/ϒm= 0.67 f cu/ 1.5 = 0.45 f cu
 The concrete strain is 0. 0035.The steel stress is f y/ 1.05 = 0.95f y
 According to the simplified stress diagram the internal forces are,C = force in the concrete in
compression = 0.45 f cu x 0.9b x 0.5d= 0.201 f cubd For the internal forced to be in equilibrium C =
T ;MR= Moment of Resistance= Cz= 0.201 f cubd x 0.775d= 0.156 f cubd2
Where the constant K=0.156, MR= Kf cubd2
T = force in the steel in tension = 0.95 f yAs
 z = lever arm= d –0.5 X 0.9 X 0.5D = 0.775D

The concrete strain is 0. 0035.The steel stress is f y/ 1.05 = 0.95f y


According to the simplified stress diagram the internal forces are, C = force in the concrete in
compression = 0.45 f cu x 0.9b x 0.5d= 0.201 f cubd. For the internal forced to be in equilibrium
C = T; MR= Moment of Resistance= Cz= 0.201 f cubd x 0.775d= 0.156 f cubd2
Where the constant K=0.156, MR= Kfcubd2
T = force in the steel in tension = 0.95 f yAs
 z = lever arm= d – 0.5 x 0.9 x 0.5d= 0.775d
