PRELIMINARY DESIGN OF MAIN BEAM, SECONDERY BEAM AND COLUMN

1.) Preliminary design of Slab

Span of the slab=3.734

Percentage of the tensile reinforcement assumed=0.40% (assumed)

Now, using limit state of serviceability
leff / d =
where,
= 26
= 1(for span less than 10 m)
= 1.330
=1
= 1 (for singly reinforcement section)
So, d = 3734 / (26x1.33) = 107.98 mm
Therefore,
Adopt effective depth = 110 mm
And overall depth = 130 mm

2) Preliminary design of the Main Beam along X-direction

Span of the Beam=7.470

Percentage of the tensile reinforcement assumed=2.50% (assumed)

Now, using limit state of serviceability
leff / deff =
where,
= 23(for one edge discontinuous)
= 1(for span less than 10 m)
= 0.80 (for 2.5% for tensile reinforcement)
=1
= 1.25 (for assumed 1% compression steel)
So, d = 7470 / (23X0.80X1.25X1) = 324.78 mm
Therefore,
Adopt effective depth (deff) = 330 mm
And overall depth (D)=(deff+(assumed bar dia.)/2+clear cover)=330+12.50+30=372.50 mm
 Assume overall depth of the beam (D)=450mm
Width of the beam from ductile detailing criteria
Assume width of the beam (B)=300mm
B/D > 0.3, 300/450= 0.667 > 0.3, hence OK
Hence use B=300mm

2) Preliminary design of the Main Beam along Y-direction

Span of the Beam=5.334

Percentage of the tensile reinforcement assumed=1.80% (assumed)

Now, using limit state of serviceability
leff / deff =
where,
= 23(for one edge discontinuous)
= 1(for span less than 10 m)
= 0.845 (for 1.80% for tensile reinforcement)
=1
= 1.25 (for assumed 1% compression steel)
So, d = 5334 / (23X0.845X1.25X1) = 219.56 mm
Therefore,
Adopt effective depth (deff) = 230 mm
And overall depth (D)=(deff+(assumed bar dia.)/2+clear cover)=230+12.50+25=267.50 mm
Assume overall depth of the beam (D)=400mm
Width of the beam from ductile detailing criteria
Assume width of the beam (B)=300mm
B/D > 0.3, 300/400= 0.75 > 0.3, hence OK
Hence use B=300mm

2) Preliminary design of the Secondary Beam

Span of the Beam=5.334

Percentage of the tensile reinforcement assumed=1.80% (assumed)

Now, using limit state of serviceability
 leff / deff =
where,
= 20(for simply supported)
= 1(for span less than 10 m)
= 0.845 (for 1.80% for tensile reinforcement)
=1
= 1.25 (for assumed 1% compression steel)
So, d = 5334 / (20X0.845X1.25X1) = 252.49 mm
Therefore,
Adopt effective depth (deff) = 260 mm
And overall depth (D)=(deff+(assumed bar dia.)/2+clear cover)=260+8+25=293.00 mm
Assume overall depth of the beam (D)=350mm
Width of the beam from ductile detailing criteria
Assume width of the beam (B)=230mm
B/D > 0.3, 230/350= 0.75 > 0.3, hence OK
Hence use B=230mm
