CHAPTER 2
DESIGN OF BEAMS FOR FLEXURE USING WORKING STRESS DESIGN (WSD)
METHODS
2.1 Basic Assumption:
1. A section which is plane before bending remains plane after bending. This implies strains across section are
linearly varying. This is true for most section of flexural member except deep beam where shear deformation is
significant.
2. Beam section behaves elastically when subjected to service load moment. This implies stress in the concrete
varies linearly from zero at neutral axis to a maximum at the extreme fiber.
3. Tensile strength of concrete is ignored. The reinforcement assumed to takes all the tension due to flexure.
4. Perfect bond exist between steel bars and concrete such that no slip occurs. This is possible if adequate
development length of bars and concrete cover are provided.
5. The modular ratio,
c s
E E n
, may be taken as the nearest whole number (but not less than 6 or more than
15). In doubly reinforced sections, to consider creep of concrete in compression zone an effective modular ratio
of
c s
E E 2
shall be used to transform compression reinforcement for stress computation.

b) Over-reinforced Section if >
b
: Over-reinforced sections are those that contain more reinforcement
than the balanced one. Hence, as the applied moment is increased, the maximum stress in concrete reaches its permissible
value first; and by the time the stress in reinforcement reaches its permissible stress, the concrete is over stressed.
Therefore, the stresses in concrete and steel for such section are as follow:

Here, an increase of load produces over stress in concrete earlier than the reinforcement; as a result the concrete crushes
in compression. Such failure is sudden and occurs without warning. For this reasons, over-reinforced section is not
recommended in design.
c) Under-reinforced Section if <
b
: Under reinforced sections are those that contain less reinforcement
than the balanced one. In such sections, the tensile reinforcement is insufficient to develop the full strength of the
concrete in compression, so that when the reinforcement is fully stressed, the concrete is under-stressed. Therefore, the
stresses in concrete and steel for such section are as follow:

Here, failure is more gradual than over-reinforced section. As when steel is over-stressed, the steel yields but is still able
to support the yield stress since steel is a ductile material. Therefore, from both safety and economic point of view, it is
recommended to design section of flexural member as under-reinforced section.

2.4 Control of Deflection
The deflection of structure or part of structure shall not adversely affect the appearance or efficiency of structure or
finishes or partitions. For beams and slabs, the vertical deflection limits may generally be assumed to be satisfied
provided that the minimum depth required by deflection specified by code is maintained.
ACI code provide minimum depth required by beams and one-way slabs in terms of span length as given in table below
can be used as a crude estimate of initial depth to control deflection.

2.5 Doubly-Reinforced Rectangular Beam Section
If the section of RC beam is limited in dimension (usually depth), it can not develop the compressive force required to
resist the applied bending moment as singly reinforced section. That is, the applied moment is greater than the balanced
moment capacity of singly reinforced section. For small increase of moment over the balanced one, over-reinforced
section can be used, which is not recommended in design.
A more economical and safe way of designing section in such case is to provide reinforcement in compression zone of
RC section. This section termed as doubly reinforced. Doubly reinforced section can also be used if the required depth of
section of beam as singly reinforced is unacceptable. The purpose of reinforcement in compression zone of RC section is
to assist the concrete in resisting compressive force and to keep the neutral axis at the ideal position ensuring balanced
type failure.
In doubly reinforced beam section, concrete and steel act together to take compression. If both steel and concrete behave
elastically, the stress in compression steel is
c s

(modular ratio) times the concrete stress at the same level.

However, concrete under sustained compressive stress deforms continuously with time due to creep effect and concrete is
also subjected to shrinkage over a period of time. Whereas these time dependent effects do not occur in steel. As RC
beam deforms, even at low loading, there is a continuous transfer of stress from concrete to compression steel. Therefore,
the actual stress in compression steel is larger than that computed on the basis of elastic behavior of materials. i.e

2.6 Design Equation for Doubly-Reinforced Rectangular Section
Consider a doubly reinforced rectangular section subjected to a service load moment,
M
as shown below.
Two couples method is used to determine the required areas of tension and compression reinforcement by treating
doubly reinforced section into two parts. The total resisting moment is equal to the sum of two resisting couples: one of
which is provided by given cross-section of beam without compression reinforcement with a partial tension steel area,
1 s
A
that balance concrete in compression; and the other by compression steel,
1
s
A and the remainder of tension steel
area,
2 s
A
. Thus, the section with compression steel is designed as balanced reinforced section in such away that
compression steel and extra tension steel are proportioned by maintaining the balanced neutral axis depth.

2.7 Flanged Section (T- or L-section) under Flexure
In construction of building structures, the slab is usually supported by a system of beams. If the connection between the
beam and the slab adequately transmit longitudinal shear force, then the beam and slab together may act as a
homogeneous section of T- or L-forms. For loaded beam-slab if subjected to a moment which produces compression at
the top surface, the slab therefore becomes parts of the compression flange of the beam, resulting in a greater zone of
compression and giving a more economical section. For a reinforced concrete beam-slab section, adequate connection
between the beam and the slab is easily provided by casting the section as monolithic, and by extending beam-stirrups
and bent bars up into the slab.
It is known that the compressive stress caused by flexure in the upper flange decreases as the distance from the web
increases. This is because the shear deformation of flange relieves some of compressive stresses as the element becomes
more remote to the web. Therefore, this makes exact analysis of flanged section of infinite wide-flange complex. In order
to simplify the design of flanged section of infinite wide-flange, it is usual to assume a uniform stress over a reduced
width of flange. This reduced width is known as effective width. Effective width of flange is determined equating forces
on compressive flange due to actual compressive stress on infinite wide-flange with equivalent uniform compressive
stress on reduced width of flange.
The effective width has been found to depend primarily on the type loading, span length, spacing of beams, width of the
web, and the relative thickness of the slab with respect to the total beam depth. For practical design of flanged section,
effective width of flange recommended by codes may be used.

2.8 Design of Flanged beams for Flexure
Design of flanged beams are made depending on the sign of design moment develop in the section producing either
tension or compression on flange side of beam. If the design moment developed in section produces tension on flange
side, the section is to be designed as if it were rectangular beam of width equal to the width of the web of the section. For
such section, no advantage is gained in using slab as flange of section.
On other hand, if the design moment developed in section produces compression on flange side, the section is to be
designed depending on the position the neutral axis. The position of the neutral axis depends up of the proportions of the
cross-section, the amount of tension steel, and the strength of the materials. If the neutral axis lies in the flange, the
section is to be designed as if it were a rectangular beam of width equal to the effective flange width. When the neutral
axis lies in the web, the section is to be designed as T-beam section.
2.9 Design Equations of T-beam Section -Working Stress (Elastic) Method

M
as shown below. Assume the neutral axis lies in the

LIMIT STATE DESIGN FOR FLEXURE AND SERVICEABILITY LIMIT STATE
3.1. Basic Assumptions:
Assumption made for determining ultimate resistance of a member for flexure and axial force according to EBCS-2/95
are,
1. A section which is plane before bending remains plane after bending. This implies strains across section are
linearly varying. This is true for most section of flexural member except deep beam where shear deformation is
significant.
2. The reinforcement is subjected to the same variations in the strain as the adjacent concrete. This implies there is no
slip between steel bars and the adjacent concrete. This is possible if adequate development length of bars and
concrete cover are provided.
3. Tensile strength of concrete is ignored. The reinforcement assumed to takes all the tension due to flexure.
4. The maximum compressive stain in concrete when a section complete plastic deformation is taken to be
0035 . 0
cu
in axial compression
5. The maximum tensile strain in the reinforcement is taken to 0.01. This limit assumed to limit crack-width with in
tension zone of section to the acceptable limit.
6. Either idealized parabola-rectangle stress distribution or equivalent rectangle stress distribution for concrete in
compression zone given by code as shown below shall be used in derivation of design equation.
The ultimate resistance of section may be determined using equilibrium of both internal and external forces based on the
stress block obtained from the basic assumption.

3.2.1. Balanced Singly Reinforced Section

If

If

over-reinforced section and brittle-type failure).
To ensure ductility, in practice the maximum amount of tension steel is fairly below the amount corresponding to the
balanced-one.

3.4. Flanged Section (T- or L-section) under Flexure
The general discussion with respect to flanged section, effective width of flange in working stress method holds for
strength limit state method as well. In treating flanged section using strength limit state method, it is convenient to adopt
the same equivalent rectangle stress-block that is used for rectangular cross section.
i) If depth of equivalent rectangle stress-block,
' ' y
is equal to or less than the flanged thickness,
' '
f
h
(i.e
f
h y
), a flanged section may be treated as a rectangular section of width equal to an effective width of flange,
' '
e
b
provided the flange of section is on compression side when the section subjected a moment.
For trial purpose initially, it can be assumed the stress block is with-in the flange (or assume flanged section
rectangular with width equal to effective width of flange).
-calculate relative ultimate moment and relative mechanical steel ratio of assumed rectangular section using,

compression side when the section subjected a moment. To derive design equation of T-beam, it is convenient to
divide the compression area of T-beam section into two parts as shown below:
a) the over-hanging portion of the compressive flange
b) the web portion extending into the compressive flange

Another similar approach:
Reinforced concrete floors or roofs are monolithic and hence, a part of the slab will act with the upper part of
the beam to resist longitudinal compression. The resulting beam cross-section is, then, T-shaped (inverted L),
rather than rectangular with the slab forming the beam flange where as part of the beam projecting below the
slab forms the web or stem.

The T-sections provide a large concrete cross-sectional area of the flange to resist the compressive force.
Hence, T-sections are very advantageous in simply supported spans to resist large positive bending moment,
where as the inverted T-sections have the added advantage in cantilever beam to resist negative moment.
As the longitudinal compressive stress varies across the flange width of same level, it is convenient in design to
make use of an effective flange width (may be smaller than the actual width) which is considered to be
uniformly stressed.

CHAPTER 4
THE ULS OF SHEAR AND BOND, ANCHORAGE AND DEVELOPMENT LENGTH
4.1 The ULS Design of Beams for Shear
Beams are designed for flexure and then the influences of other actions on its capacity are assumed.
The ULS of shear is characterized by either diagonal compression failure of concrete or failure of the web
reinforcement due to diagonal tension.
When a beam is subjected to flexure and shear, the shear resistance in the absence of shear reinforcement is
contributed by concrete compression zone, mechanical interlock of aggregate at the crack and dowel action
of the longitudinal reinforcement. The contributions of the later two are difficult to quantify.
Hence, the resistance to a diagonal tension is obtained as the sum of the resistance of the web reinforcement
and the concrete section.
In checking this resistance, the critical section for shear is assessed a distance d from the face of support.
4.2 Design Criteria
(i) Only nominal web reinforcement
When the shear force in a section does not exceed the shear strength of the concrete v

Hence, the unit bond stress is proportional to the shear at a particular section, i.e., to the rate of change of
bending moment. The above equation applies to the tension bars in a concrete zone that is assumed to be fully
cracked. It does not apply to compression reinforcement, for which it can be shown that the flexural bond
stresses are very low.

4.3.3 Development Length
Ultimate bond failures for bars in tension are of two types: the first is direct pullout of the bar, which occurs
when ample confinement is provided by the surrounding concrete. The second type of failure is splitting of the
concrete along the bar when cover, confinement or bar spacing is insufficient to resist the lateral concrete
tension resulting from the wedging effect of the bar deformations. The latter if more common than the former
The development length is defined as that length of embedment necessary to develop the full tensile strength of
the bar, controlled by either pullout or splitting. Referring to figure 4.3.7, the moment, and hence the tensile
stress, is evidentially maximum at point a and zero at supports. The total tension force A
b
f
s
must be transferred
from the bar to the concrete in the distance l by bond stress on the surface.

The safety against bond failure is that the length of the bar, from any point of given steel stress (f
s
or at most f
y
)
to its nearby free end must be at least equal to its development length.
The basic anchorage length, l
b
, is the straight length of bar required to anchor the force A

. For a bar of
diameter-, this force must equal the shear force developed between the bar surface and the surrounding

4.3.4 Bar Cut off and Bend points
It is a common practice either to cut off bars where they are no longer required to resist stress or in case of
continuous beams, to bend up bottom steel so that it provides tensile reinforcement at the top of the beam over
the support. To determine bend points, or bar cutting points, the moment diagram resulting from loading for
maximum span moment and maximum support moment is shown below.
Recognizing the various uncertainties, for bars with no special end anchorage the full development length l
b,net
[d or 12] whichever is larger, must be provided beyond the peak stress location. The critical section may be
the point of max moment or a point where adjacent terminated reinforcement is no longer needed to resist
bending.

4.3.5 Bar splices
Reinforcing bars are as by fabrication limited in length, say 12 m. Thus it is normal to splice bars in the field.
To do this, one has to notice the following regarding splicing.
Splicing of bars must be avoided at points of max-moment.
Bars which are spliced should be staggered.
Splices are made simply by lapping the bars a sufficient distance to transfer stress
by bond from one bar to the other.
The required length of lap for tension is approximately 1.3l
b
and that for compression is l
