increase linearly to 0.9, as Pn decreases from 0.10fcAg to zero.
For other reinforced members, shall be permitted to increase linearly to 0.9, as
Pn decreases from 0.10fcAg or Pb whichever is smaller to zero.
DESIGN AND ANALYSIS FOR FLEXURE (BEAMS)
Basic Assumptions
1. Strain in concrete and the reinforcement shall be assumed
directly proportional to the distance from the neutral axis ,except, for
deep flexural members with overall depth-to-clear span ratio greater than
2/5 for continuous spans and 4/5 for simple span a non linear distribution
of strain shall be considered.
2. Maximum usable strain at extreme concrete compression fiber
shall
be 0.003
3. Stress in reinforcement below specified yield strength fy for grade of
reinforcement used shall be taken Es times steel strain. For strain greater
than corresponding to fy, stress in the reinforcement shall be considered
independent of strain and equal to fy.
4. Tensile strength of concrete shall be neglected in axial and flexural
calculations.
5. Relationship between concrete compressive stress distribution

and concrete strain shall be assumed to be
rectangular.trapezoidal,parabolic or any other assumed shape that
result in prediction of strength in substantial agreement with results of
comprehensive tests.
6. Requirements of 5 may be considered satisfied by an equivalent
rectangular stress distribution defined by the following:
Concrete stress distribution of 0.85fc shall be assumed uniformly
distributed over an equivalent compression zone bounded by the
edges of the cross section and a straight line located parallel to the
neutral axis at a distance a from the fiber of maximum compressive
strain.
Distance c from fiber of maximum strain to the neutral axis shall be
measured in a direction perpendicular to the neutral axis.

Maximum permissible tensile steel ratio

pmax = 0.75pb
This limitation is to ensure that the steel reinforcement
will yield first to ensure ductile failure.
Minimum permissible tensile steel ratio

pmin = 1.4/fy
The provision for minimum amount of reinforcement applies to
beams which for architectural and other reasons are much larger in
cross section as required by strength consideration. With very small
amount of tensile reinforcement, the computed moment strength as
a reinforced concrete member
is smaller than that of the
corresponding plain concrete section computed from its modulus of
rupture. Failure in this case is quite sudden.
Overreinforced beam
A design in which the steel reinforcement is more than that required for
balanced strain condition. If the beam is overeinforced, the steel will not
yield before failure. As the load is increased, deflections are not
noticeable although the compression concrete is highly stressed, and
failure occurs suddenly without warning to the user of the structure.
Underreinforced beam
A design in which the steel reinforcement is lesser than that required for
balanced strain condition. If the ultimate load is approached , the steel will
begin to yield although the compression concrete is understressed. As the
load is increased, the steel will continue to elongate, resulting into
appreciable deflections and large visible cracks in the tensile concrete.
Failure under this condition is ductile and will give warning to the user of
the structure to decrease the load or apply remedial measure.
SPACING LIMITS OF REINFORCEMENT
Beams
The minimum clear spacing between parallel bars in a layer should be
db( bar diameter) but not less 25 mm.
Where parallel reinforcement is placed in two or more layers,bars in
the upper layer should be directly placed above bars in the bottom
layer with clear distance between layers not less than 25 mm.
Columns
In spirally reinforced or tied reinforced compression members, clear
distance between longitudinal reinforcement shall not be less than
1.5db nor 40 mm.
Walls and Slabs
In walls and slabs other than concrete joist construction, primary
reinforcement shall be spaced not farther than three times the slab or
wall thickness nor 450 mm.

Values given shall be used directly for members with normal density concrete
(Wc = 2300 kg/m3) and Grade 60 (415 MPa) reinforcement. For other conditions,
the values shall be modified as follows:
For structural lightweight concrete having unit weights of 1500 -2000 kg/m3 the
values shall be multiplied by ( 1.65 0.0005 Wc) but not less than 1.09, where Wc
is the unit mass in kg/m3.

Compression reinforcement is provided to ensure ductile failure ( tension steel must yield) thus the
stress in tension steel must always be equal to fy.
On the other hand the stress in compression
steel may be equal to or less than fy. This stress must always be checked.
Maximum permissible tensile steel area NSCP states that for members with compression
reinforcement, the portion of pb equalized by compression reinforcement need not be multiplied by
the 0.75 factor thus

T BEAMS
Reinforced concrete floor systems, roof ,decks etc. are almost always
monolithic. Forms are built for beam soffits and sides and for the underside of
the slabs, and the entire construction is poured at once. Beam reinforcement and
stirrups extend up into the slab thus part of the slab will act with the upper part of
the beam to resist longitudinal compression. The resulting shape of the beam is
in the form of a T rather than rectangular. Figure below shows the stress and
strain diagrams of a T- beam.

Problem :
A reinforced concrete T- beam spaced at 2.0 m on centers has a
span of 3.0 m with a slab thickness of 100 mm. The effective depth
is 750 mm and the width of the web is 350 mm. The beam is
reinforced with steel of area 5200 mm2. If fc = 20.7 MPa and
fy= 345 MPa, calculate the ultimate moment capacity.
Solution
Determine the effective flange width bf
bf = L/4 = 3000/4 = 750 mm
bf = bw + 16t = 350+16(100) = 1950 mm

DESIGN OF CONTINUOUS BEAM

In the design of continuous beam, the cross section is determined
by the maximum moment obtained by any structural analysis
method or by its equivalent NSCP coefficients.
The reinforcements are designed from the moment obtained at the
different sections of maximum positive and negative moments.
Problem:
Figure shows a continuous beam of three spans with the left and right
ends discontinuous and integral with the support . Design the section
and reinforcements at critical sections using the given service uniform
loading. Given dead loads includes the weight of the beam. fc= 28
MPa, fy =350 MPa . Use NSCP coefficients to determine the moments.

Plate # 6: Flexural design of T-beams

A reinforced concrete T-beam with d = 550 mm, bw = 300 mm , slab
thickness =100 mm is 4.8 m long and spaced 3 m on centers. The beam
support a service dead load moment of 400 kN.m (including its weight) and
service live load moment of 500 kN.m. If fc=27.5 MPa, fy = 414 MPa ,
determine the required steel area.
Design the reinforcement of a T- beam to support a uniform service
dead load of 25 kN/m and service live load of 30 kN/m on a simple span
of 8 m . Properties of the T- beam are as follows : bf = 1500 mm,
bw = 250 mm, d = 600 mm, t = 100 mm, fc = 20.7 MPa, fy = 345 MPa.
ONE WAY SLAB
Reinforced concrete slab are large flat plates that are supported at its
sides by reinforced concrete beams, walls, column, steel beams or by
the ground. If the slabs are supported on opposite sides only they are
called one way slab since bending will occur on one direction only.
A one way slab is considered as a wide & shallow rectangular beam.
Reinforcing steel is usually spaced uniformly over its width. One way
slabs are analyzed by considering a one meter strip, which is assumed
independent of the adjacent strips.
Maximum spacing of reinforcement
Flexural reinforcement shall not be spaced farther apart than 3 times
the slab thickness nor 450 mm.
Minimum size of flexural reinforcement = 12 mm
Shrinkage and temperature reinforcement

The area of shrinkage reinforcement shall be
where Grade 275 deformed bars are used 0.002bt
where Grade 415 deformed bars are used 0.0018bt
where reinforcement with fy > 415 MPa measured
at yield strain of 0.35% are used . 0.0018(400)bt/fy
Shrinkage reinforcement shall not be spaced farther apart than 5
times the slab thickness nor 450 mm.
Minimum size of shrinkage and temperature bars = 10 mm

BOND and DEVELOPMENT LENGTH

Bond
In reinforced concrete, concrete and steel act as a unit. For this to
happen, there must be absolutely no slippage of the bars in relation
to the surrounding concrete. The steel and concrete must stick or
bond together so that there will be transfer of stress from steel to
concrete and vice-versa. Failure of transfer of stress makes the
concrete an unreinforced member thus it will be subject to collapse.
Development Length
Bar development length is the embedment necessary to assure that
the bar can be stressed to its yield point with some reserved to
ensure member toughness.

Development Length of Flexural Reinforcement

Tension reinforcement in flexural members maybe developed by :
a) bending across the web to be anchored
b) made continues with reinforcement on opposite face ofthe member
Critical points for development length in flexural members are at points
of maximum stress and at points where the adjacent reinforcements
terminates or is bent. Reinforcement shall extend beyond the point at
which it isno longer required to resist flexure for a distance equal to the
effective depth of member or 12db whichever is greater, except at
supports of simple beam and free end of cantilevers. Continuing
reinforcement shall have an embedment length not less than the
development length beyond the point where bent or terminated tension
reinforcement is no longer required to resist flexure
Development of positive moment bars

The code stipulates that at least one third the positive
reinforcement in simple members and one fourth the positive
reinforcement in continuous members shall extend along the
same face in the member into the supports. In beams such
reinforcement shall extend into the support at least 150mm.
At simple supports and at points of inflection,positive
moment tension reinforcement shall be limited to a diameter
such that Ld computed by
Mn

Where:
Mn = nominal moment strength assuming that all reinforcement
at section are stressed to specified yield strength f y
Vu = factored shear force at supports for simple beams and at

the center of support; at point of inflection limited to the effective depth

Modification Factors
1. If the reinforcing bar has an fy other 415 MPa, lhb is to be multiplied by fy/415
2. When 900 hooks and 32 mm or smaller bar are used and when 60 mm or
more of side cover normal to the hook is present, together with at least 50 mm
cover for the bar extension, lhb is to be multiplied by 0.7.
3. When hooks made of 32 mm and smaller are enclosed vertically and
horizontally within ties or stirrups ties spaced no farther apart than 3db, lhb is to be
multiplied by 0.8
4. Where the amount of flexural reinforcement exceeds the theoretical amount
required and where the specifications being used do not specifically require that
development lengths be based on fy the value of lhb is to be multiplied by
Asrequired/As provided.
5. When light weight concrete are used, apply a modification factor of 1.3
6. For bars being developed by standard hook at discontinuous end with side
cover and top or bottom cover over hook less than 60 mm,hooked bar shall be
enclosed within ties or stirrups spaced along the full development length ldh not
greater than 3db where db is the diameter of hooked bar. For this case, the
factor mentioned in item 3 shall not apply.
Splices of Reinforcement
Splicing maybe done by welding, by mechanical connections or most
frequently by lapping bars. Lapped bars are usually tied in contact.
Lap splice must not be used for bars larger than 32 mm.
Splices in tension
The minimum length of lap for tension lap splice shall be as required for
class A or class B, but shall not be less than 300 mm, where
Class A splice
1.0Ld
Class B splice
1.3Ld
Lap splices of deformed bars and wires in tension shall be class B splice
except that class A splice are allowed when
the area of the reinforcement provided is at least twice than that
required by analysis.
One half or less of the total reinforcement is spliced within the required
lap strength.
Splices of deformed bars in compression
Compression bars maybe spliced by lapping,end bearing, welding or
mechanical devices. The minimum length of such bars should be the
development length Ld but may not be less than 0.07d bfy for fy of 415
MPa or less, or (0.13fy -24)db for fy greater than 415 MPa.

Axially Loaded Columns
Columns are classified as pedestal, short column and long

column. Pedestal is a column whose height is less than
three times its least lateral dimension. They maybe
designed without reinforcement with a maximum permissible
compressive strength of 0.85fc where =0.70.
If the column does not qualify as pedestal then it maybe
classified as a short column. They fail due to initial material
failure. The load on the column depends on the dimension
and the strength of the material it is made.
If the length of the column is increased, chances of lateral
buckling increases. Column that fails due to lateral bucking
are classified as long columns.

SHORT COLUMNS SUBJECT TO AXIAL LOAD AND

BENDING
( Eccentrically loaded columns)
All columns are subject to axial force and bending and they must be
proportioned to resist these forces. Eccentricities of 0.10h for tied
column and 0.05h for spiral columns can be permitted for axially
loaded columns. Beyond this, analysis for the effect of axial load
and bending must be undertaken.
Columns will tend to bend under the action of moment and produces
compression on one side and tension on the other side. The
following failures are possible under combined axial load and
bending.

Plastic centroid the point in the column through which the resultant of
the column load passes through to produce uniform strain at failure. It is
the location of the resultant force of concrete and steel.
In locating this point, all concrete is assumed to be stressed in
compression to 0.85fc and all steel bars in compression at (fy 0.85fc).
For symmetrical cross sections the plastic centroid coincides with the
centroid of the cross section.
Eccentricity of a column is the distance from the load to the plastic

COLUMN INTERACTION DIAGRAM

It was observed that the use of analytical method is very complicated and requires accuracy of
manipulation of algebraic equations. An option is to analyze the column by using the column
interaction diagram.
Interaction diagram is the graph of the axial load capacity and the moment capacity of the column of
the M-P axes. The diagram is very useful for studying the strength of the column with varying
proportions of the loads and moments.

The diagram is made by plotting the axial load capacity when the moment is zero( point A), then the
balanced loading( point C) and the moment capacity when the axial load is zero( point D). In between
points A and D , the column fail due to axial and bending. Point C the balanced point. In reference to
Point B, the vertical and horizontal dotted line represents the particular load combination of axial load
and moment.

Design of Eccentric columns( section & reinforcement)
The size of column can be obtained by assuming an average

compressive stress of concrete from 0.5fc to 0.6 fc under the load
PU. Design of reinforcement follows the procedure of the preceding
topic. If value of pg is not reasonable, section maybe revised.
Design a square tied column to carry a factored axial load of 2,000 kN

And a factored moment of 190 kN.m. Use 25 mm bars to be placed
uniformly along the faces of the column. Assume fc=20.7MPa and
fy =413.7 MPa.
Solution
Ag = Pu/0.5fc

Effective Length Factor

Effective length factor is equal to 1 when the member is braced
against sideway ; for members not braced against sideway
effects of cracking and reinforcement on relative stiffness must
be considered and should be greater than 1.
Radius of Gyration
r = 0.25 D for circular columns ,D the column diameter
r = 0.30 h for rectangular columns ,h the column dimension in
the direction stability is being considered
Unsupported Length of Compression members
Unsupported length Lu a of compression member is taken as the
clear distance between floor slabs, beams or other members
capable of providing lateral support for that compression
member. Where column capitals or haunches are present it
shall be measured to the lower extremity of capital or haunch in
the place considered.
Braced and Unbraced Frame

A frame maybe considered braced if the bracing elements such as shear
walls, shear trusses, or other means resisting lateral movement of a storey,
have a total stiffness at least, six times the sum of the stiffness of all the
columns resisting lateral movement in that storey.
PROBLEM
A square column having an unsupported length of 5 m is used in a
braced frame against sidesway. The column is bent in single
curvature and subject to factored end moments of 58 kN/m at the
top and 42 kN.m at the bottom. Determine its minimum dimension
so that slenderness effects may not be considered in the analysis.

Where:
M2b = value of the larger factored end moment on a compression

M1b = value of the smaller factored end moment on a compression
calculated by conventional elastic frame analysis positive if member
is bent in single curvature, negative if member is bent in double
curvature
M2s = value of the larger factored end moment on a

compression member due to loads that result in appreciable
sidesway ( wind, earthquake and other lateral loads) ,
calculated by conventional elastic frame analysis .

Alignment Charts
Effective Length Factor k are obtained using the Jackson and

Moreland alignment chart. To use this chart a parameter A for end A
of column AB and B for end B are computed. A straightedge is
placed between A and B. The point where the straightedge cross the
middle monograph is k. The parameter at one end of the column
equals the sum of the stiffnesses of the columns (including the column
under consideration) meeting at the joint divided by the sum of all the
stiffnesses of the beams meeting at that joint.

Two Way Slabs

When a rectangular reinforced concrete slab is supported on four
sides,reinforcement placed perpendicular to the side may be assumed
to be effective in the two directions. These slabs are known as two
way slabs. Bending occurs on both directions. However if the slab is
supported on all sides but the ratio of the long side to short is two or
more times, the slab act as a one way slab with bending occuring in
the short direction.
Two methods of designing will be discussed. The direct design
method and the ACI moment coeffecient method. Other methods
available are the strip method and the equivalent frame method.

Column and Middle Strip

When the design moments are computed, the moments are distributed
to the column and middle strip. Column strip is a design strip with a width on
each side of a column centerline equal to 0.25L1 or 0.25L2 whichever is less.
Column strip includes beam if any. The middle strip is a design strip bounded

ACI Moment Coeffecient Method
The complexity of the Direct Design Method particularly in meeting

its requirements paved way to the ACI Moment Coeffecient Method.
The method makes use of tables of moment coeffecients for a
variety of conditions. These coeffecients are based on elastic
analysis but also takes into account inelastic distribution.
Moments at column strip and middle strip are computed by
M a Ca wl
