Example 2.4

This document provides a design example for a simply supported reinforced concrete beam that is 5 meters long. It undergoes a permanent load of 12.14 kN/m and a variable load of 6 kN/m. Following design standard steps, the beam is determined to require 2 diameter 16mm reinforcing bars based on the calculated design moment of 60 kNm and lever arm of 373.6mm. Checks are performed to ensure the provided reinforcement meets minimum and maximum requirements. A detail drawing of the designed beam cross section is also provided.

Design example of a singly reinforced concrete beam


1. A rectangular reinforced concrete beam is simply supported on two masonry walls 5.0m
apart (center-to-center distance). The beam has to carry a distributed permanent action of
12.14kN/m (excluding beam self-weight) and a variable action of 6kN/m. Design the beam.
Design Data
o Height of the section, h =450mm
o Width of the section, b = 225mm
o Concrete Cover = 25mm
o Concrete Strength, C-20/25
o Reinforcement strength S-500
Assume the bar diameter is 20mm and the link diameter is 10mm for calculating the effective
depth (d).
Step 1- Material strength
0.85∗20
C-20/25 𝑓𝑐𝑑 = = 11.333𝑀𝑃𝑎
1.5
500
S-500 𝑓𝑦𝑑 = 1.15 = 434.78𝑀𝑃𝑎

Step 2- Loading
o Dead Load = γc ∗ b ∗ H = 25 ∗ 0.225 ∗ 0.45 = 2.53kN/m
o Permanent dead load = Gk = 12.14kN/m (excluding self − weight)
o Live Load = Qk = 6kN/m
o Characteristics permanent actions, Gk = 2.53 + 12.14 = 14.67kN/m
o Characteristics variable actions, Qk = 6kN/m
o Design load = Pd = 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk = 1.35 ∗ 14.67 + 1.5 ∗ 6 = 28.8kN/m

28.8kN/m

Step 5- Check the Compression reinforcement requirement
Check if 𝐾 < 𝐾’ = 0.167…. No Compression reinforcement required!!!
Step 6- Determine the lever arm (Z)
𝑍 = 𝑑 [ 0.5 + √ (0.25 – 𝐾/1.134)] = 𝑑 [ 0.5 + √(0.25 – 0.081/1.134)] = 0.923𝑑

Use 𝑍 = 0.923𝑑 = 0.923 ∗ 405 = 373.6𝑚𝑚
