Introduction
 Curved beams are used to support circular reservoir, curved balconies
and curved ramps.
 In curved beams the centre of gravity of loads acting on a span lies
outside the lines joining supports.
 This will cause torsional moments in addition to bending moment and
shear force.
 Therefore one need to consider torsion reinforcement while designing
beam curved in plan.

Important values
•Support Moment = kwR2
•Mid-span Moment=k’wR2
•Maximum Torsion=k”wR2
•Shear Force = wR/2
In general,
•Bending Moment=wR2[-1+ 0.5**sin  +0.5*  *cot(/2)*cos]
•Twisting Moment=wR2[ - 0.5 + 0.5**cos +0.5*  *cot(/2)*sin]

k, k’, k” are values depending on no. of supports

LSM
IS 456:2000 (PLAIN AND
REINFORCED CONCRETE) –
Provides the design method for
curved beam.
Check for combined action of
shear and maximum torsion.
ETABS
ETABS gives the analysis and
design based on linear analysis of
curved beam.
Software design is based on same
IS code which can be compared
with manual result.

Design Example
Determine the reinforcement required of a ring beam (Fig.6.16.3) of b =
400 mm, d = 650 mm, D = 700 mm and subjected to factored Mu = 200
kNm, factored Tu = 50 kNm and factored Vu = 100 kN. Use M 20 and Fe
415 for the design.

Comparison
• Software can design straight beam precisely and accuracy will be
similar to manual method but for curved beam software is unable to
give results similar to manual method.
• Besides % of steel in both results longitudinal reinforcement ,
transverse reinforcement and side face reinforcement is considered.

Conclusion
• In curved beam torsional reinforcement must be provided as torsional
moment are generated.
• Software can not provide precise design as torsional moments are not
considered properly.
• Use of IS 456 & manual design ensures safety as effect of both bending
& twisting moments are considered along with shear force.
•Aside from aesthetic view curved beam should be avoid as these are
not economical.
