C 0.36 B X F: Ex.2: Determine A

This document provides an example problem to determine the limiting steel area (Ast,lim) and limiting bending moment capacity (Mu,lim) of a reinforced concrete flanged beam. The given dimensions and material properties of the beam are used to calculate ratios and parameters needed to determine the problem falls under case (ii b). Equations from Lesson 10 are used to calculate the steel area, which is then checked against standard bar sizes. The limiting bending moment capacity is then calculated using additional equations and parameters. A table from SP-16 is referenced to verify the calculated Mu,lim value.

This problem belongs to the case (i) and is explained in sec. 5.10.4.1 of Lesson
10.

Ex.2: Determine Ast,lim and Mu,lim of the flanged beam of Fig. 5.11.3. Given
data are: bf = 1000 mm, Df = 100 mm, bw = 300 mm, cover = 50 mm and d
= 450 mm. Use M 20 and Fe 415.
Step 1: To determine Df/d ratio
For the limiting case xu = xu,max = 0.48 (450) = 216 mm > Df. The
ratio Df/d is computed.

Df/d = 100/450 = 0.222 > 0.2


Hence, it is a problem of case (ii b) and discussed in sec. 5.10.4.2 b of Lesson
10.
Step 2: Computations of yf , C and T
First, we have to compute yf from Eq.5.8 of Lesson 10 and then employ
Eqs. 5.9, 10 and 11 of Lesson 10 to determine C, T and Mu, respectively.
yf = 0.15 xu,max + 0.65 Df = 0.15 (216) + 0.65 (100) = 97.4 mm. (from
Eq. 5.8)
C = 0.36 fck bw xu,max + 0.45 fck (bf - bw) yf
(5.9)
= 0.36 (20) (300) (216) + 0.45 (20) (1000 - 300) (97.4) = 1,080.18 kN.
T = 0.87 fy Ast

= 0.87 (415) Ast

(5.10)
Equating C and T, we have
Ast =

(1080.18) (1000) N
= 2,991.77 mm 2
0.87 (415) N/mm 2

Provide 4-28 T (2463 mm2) + 3-16 T (603 mm2) = 3,066 mm2


Step 3: Computation of Mu

three grades of steel (250, 415 and 500). The value of the moment coefficient
Mu,lim /bwd2fck of Ex.2, as obtained from SP-16, is presented in Table 5.2 making
linear interpolation for both the parameters, wherever needed. Mu,lim is then
calculated from the moment coefficient.
Table 5.2 Mu,lim of Example 2 using Table 58 of SP-16
Parameters: (i) bf /bw = 1000/300 = 3.33
(ii) Df /d = 100/450 = 0.222

Mu,lim as obtained from SP-16 is close to the earlier computed value of Mu,lim =
