t for Reinforced concrete beam of rectangular section using the following data: (Use IS 456 Code provisions) Effective

span = 8

SI.No Description Values Units

Input Data

1 Effective span 8 m
2 Working Live load 30 KN/m
3 Overall depth 0.65 m
4 Width 0.3 m
5 Effective depth 0.6 m
6 Effective cover 50 mm
7 Grade of concrete 20 N/mm2
8 Gradeof steel 415 N/mm2

Solution

9 Step-1 Thickness

l/d 20
Effective depth 594 mm
Gn overall depth 650 mm

10 Step-2 Effective span

Clear span + Width of support 8.3 m

c/c of supports 8.6 m

Therefore , effective span 8.3 m

11 Step-3 Load Calculations

Dead load(Self weight) 120 KN/m

Live Load 30 KN/m
Floor finish 5 KN/m
Total Load (W) 155 KN/m

Design load (Wu) 232.5 KN/m

FOS = 1.5
12 Step-4 SF and BM Calculations

Shear force (Vu) 964.875 KN

Bending Moment (M) 1860 KN

13 Step-5 Section Classification

Mu 993.6 KN.m
Mu,lim 12141.7856582463 KN.m

Mu,lim>Mu
Singly Reinforced Beam

14 Step-6 Main reinforcement

Assume 12 mm dia bars used

Area of one 12 mm dia bar 113.04 mm2

Total Ast 5297.94 mm2

Spacing 46.8678343949 mm c/c

No.of bars 2.4118886964

15 Step-7 Shear reinforcement

Assume 8mm dia shear rods

Area of one 8 mm dia bar 50.24 mm

16 Step-8 Check for Min Ast

Min Ast 1228.9156626506 mm2

Therefore Total Ast > Min Ast

17 Result

1. Main Reinforcement= provide 3 nos 12 mm dia bars@50mm c/c

2.Shear Reinforcement = Provide 12 nos of 8 mm dia bars
