Learning Outcomes

• Understand the complete design process of a reinforced concrete continuous beam.

75.2 kN/m

6m 6m 6m 6m

Design data: 1320

Slab thickness = 100 mm

100
Exposure condition = mild
Fire resistance requirement = 1.5 hours
2
Concrete’s characteristic strength, fcu = 30 N/mm

475
2
Steel characteristic strength (main), fy = 460 N/mm
2
Steel characteristic strength (shear), fyv = 250 N/mm
Beam size, bw x h = 200 mm x 475 mm

a) Design the main reinforcement of the beam. 200

b) Design the shear reinforcement of the beam.

c) Check the beam for deflection.

d) Check the beam for cracking

e) Draw the detailing.
