Notes On Design of RCC Elements

The document provides design guidelines for reinforced concrete (RCC) elements. It discusses limitations on the lever arm factor z/d, equations for determining the effective width of beam flanges, and examples calculations. It also lists common floor load values and provides equations and considerations for the design of singly and doubly reinforced rectangular beam sections, columns, and bottom-loaded beams.

Notes on Design of RCC Elements

The lever arm factor z/d is limited to a maximum value of 0.95.

Flanged Sections

The effective width of flange, over which uniform stress conditions can be assumed,
may be taken as beff = bw + b, where

b = 0.1(aw + l0) 0.2l0 0.5aw for L beams


b = 0.2(aw + l0) 0.4l0 1.0aw for T beams

In the above expressions, bw is the web width, aw is the clear distance between the
webs of adjacent beams and l0 is the distance between successive points of zero-
bending moment for the beam. If leff is the effective span, l0 may be taken as 0.85leff
when there is continuity at one end of the span, and 0.7leff when there is continuity at
both ends.
For up-stand beams, when considering hogging moments, l0 may be taken as 0.3leff at
internal supports and 0.15leff at end supports.

SINGLY REINFORCED RECTANGULAR SECTIONS:

Lever arm z :

Maximum z/d =0.95

Value of K1=0.453 & K2=0.4 for fck50Mpa if a uniform stress distribution is assumed.

As=M/fsz fs=fy/1.15 for fy=500Mpa,fs=500/1.15=435Mpa use 415mpa

K =M/bd2fck
If K 0.21=K, no compression reinforcement is required.

DOUBLY REINFORCED SECTION:

If K 0.21=K, compression reinforcement is required.

COLUMNS:

A slenderness ratio is defined as the effective length divided by the radius of gyration of
the uncracked concrete section.

Columns should generally be designed for both first-order and second-order effects, but
second-order effects may be ignored provided the slenderness ratio does not exceed a
particular limiting value.

Bottom-Loaded Beams
Where load is applied near the bottom of a section, sufficient vertical reinforcement to
transmit the load to the top of the section should be provided in addition to any
reinforcement required to resist shear.
