Structural Design: Module in

This document provides an overview of designing and analyzing flexural members using allowable strength design. It discusses key terms, the differences between analysis and design, design provisions, flexural analysis of beams, and the flexure formula. Examples are provided to demonstrate determining cracking moment, calculating bending stresses, sizing reinforcement for a given moment, and using the transformed area method to compute stresses. The session aims to teach allowable strength design of flexural members through analysis and design examples.

CORE CONTENT

Analysis VS Design

Analysis – Given a cross section, concrete strength, reinforcement size, location, and yield strength,
compute the resistance or strength.

Design – Given a factored design moment Mu, select a suitable cross section including dimensions,
concrete strength, and reinforcement.

  ∅
Tension – Controlled – 0.9

Compression Controlled

a. Members with Spiral Reinforcement – 0.75


b. Others – 0.65

Shear and Torsion – 0.75

Bearing on Concrete – 0.65

Strut and Tie – 0.75

Positive and Negative Moments– moment that causes compression on top surface of beam and tension
at the bottom surface is positive moment.
Flexural Analysis of Beams

A small transverse load is placed on concrete beam with tensile reinforcing and that the load is gradually
increased in magnitude in magnitude until the beam fails. The beam will go three distinct stages before
collapse occurs.

a. Uncracked concrete stage


b. Concrete-crack elastic stresses stage
c. Ultimate strength stage.

Uncracked Concrete Stage – tensile stress less than modulus of rupture (bending stress where concrete
begins to crack) entire cross section of the beam resists bending, with compression on one side and
tension on the other.

Concrete Cracked – Elastic Stresses Stage – as the load increased after the modulus of rupture of the
concrete is exceeded, cracks begin to develop in the bottom of the beam. Tensile stress in the bottom of
the beam equals the modulus of rupture – called the cracking moment. Cracks quickly spread up the
vicinity of the neutral axis and then neutral axis begins to move upward.

fc = 0.45fc’ and fs = 0.5Fy

Beam Failure – Ultimate-Strength Stage – reinforcing bars have yielded and compression stresses begin
to change appreciably from straight line.
FLEXURE FORMULA, Allowable Strength Design (ASD)

SINGLY REINFORCED RECTANGULAR BEAM (SRRB)


a. Straight-line stress distribution (triangular stress block)
b. Maximum allowable compressive stress of 0.45f’c
c. Maximum allowable tensile stress on steel of 0.5fy (if no given)
GENERAL SINGLY REINFOCED BEAB (SRB)
IN-TEXT ACTIVITY

1. Determine the cracking moment, Mcr of the beam width bw = 300 mm and overall depth of 500
mm. Effective depth d = 420 mm with steel reinforcement of 2-25 mm dia. bars. f'c = 28 mpa
Solution:
  0.7  ′   0.7√28  3.7 

 

 
3.7   !
(10& ) = Mcr = 46.25 KN m

2. Calculate the bending stresses in a rectangular beam 300 mm x 500 mm reinforced with 3-28
mm dia bars having its centroid 75 mm from the edge of the beam. Assume n = 9 and is to carry
a moment of 70 KN-m Solution:
Alternate Solution
3. A rectangular concrete beam w/ f’c = 20.7 Mpa and steel reinforcing with fs = 138 Mpa must
sustain bending moment of 271 KN-m beam dimensions and the reinforcing steel for a section
with tension reinforcing only. Assume b = 0.56d diameter of bar db =25mm. Stirrup dia. = 10
mm. Lean concrete cover = 40 mm.
Solution
4. Using transformed area method, compute the following, compressive stress fc, steel on stress
fs and f’s
