E. Flexural Reinforcement Requirement

Effective depth d = 321.5 mm
Area of steel required As,req=(〖0.85f^′ c〗∕fy)(1-√(1-2Rn∕〖0.85f^′ c〗)) bd = 1211.4 mm²
Area of steel provided As,prov = Abar Nbar = 1206.37 mm²
Depth of Compressive Stress block a = As,prov fy/ 0.85f'c b = 62.85 mm
cl. 422.2.2.4.1 Location of the Neutral Axis from compression fiber, a/β c = ab1 = 73.95 mm
Moment Capacity of the section Mu,cap=∅_f 0.85 f^′ cαb(d-0.5α) = 86.6 kN.m
Safety factor for Bending FOSf = Mu,cap/Mu = 1.00 < 1.0, Not Safe!

I. Design Remarks

0 Check amount of main reinforcement provided!

0 Check beam size or As provided!
0 Check Beam Depth or Amount of Stirrups provided!
1 Clear spacing between main reinforcement is checked and sufficient!
1 Amount of reinforcement provided is above minimum!
1 Amount of reinforcement provided is below the maximum limit!
1 Depth of beam is sufficient!

J. Design Recommendation

Therefore, use 300mm x 400 mm beam with 3 Nos. of 16mmØ in layer 1, 3 Nos. of 16mmØ in layer 2,
2 legs of 10mmØ @ 150 mm o.c. stirrups.

DISCLAIMER:
This spreadsheet provides merely design of Rectangular Reinforcement Concrete beam or one-way slab. It performs ultimate limit design in accordance with the National Structural
Code of the Philippines. Further, the design forces should be taken from separate analysis.
