tat ied Flexural Analysis of Beams 2.1 Introduction In this section, it is assumed that a small transverse load is placed on a concrete beam with tensil reinforcing and that the load is gradually increased in magnitude until the beam fails. As this takes place, the beam will go through three distinct stages before collapse occurs: (1) the uncracked concrete stage, (2) the concrete cracked—elastic stresses stage, and (3) the ultimate-strength stage. A relatively Jong beam is considered for this discussion so that shear will not have a large effect on its behavior. Uncracked Concrete Stage At small loads when the tensile stresses are less than the modulus of rupture (the bending tensile stress at which the concrete begins to crack), the entire cross section of the beam resists bending, with com- pression on one side and tension on the other. Figure 2.1 shows the variation of stresses and strains for these small loads; a numerical example of this type is presented in Section 2.2. Concrete Cracked-I lastic Stresses Stage [As the load is increased after the modulus of rupture of the concrete is exceeded, cracks begin to develop in the bottom of the beam. The moment at which these cracks begin to form—that is, when the tensile stress in the bottom of the beam equals the modulus of rupture—is referred to as the cracking moment, -M,y- As the load is further inereased, these cracks quickly spread up to the vicinity of the neutral axis, sndithen the neutral axis begins to move upward. The cracks occur at those places along the beam where the actual moment is greater than the cracking moment. as shown in Figure 2.240), Now that the bottom has cracked, another stage is present because the concrete in the cracked zone obviously cannot resist tensile stresses—the steel must do it. This stage will continue as long as the compression stress in the top fibers is less than about one-half of the concrete’s compression cei competion fein emmprenion Le (This term is defined foe sel in tension 7 inSection2.3) eee FIGURE 21 Uncracked concrete stage.

In this range, the strains are small, and the diagram is nearly vertical and very close to a straight line. When the moment is increased beyond the cracking moment, the slope of the curve will decrease a little because the beam is not quite as stiff as it 22 Cracking Moment 37 ‘Mega beam concrete construction 100 above grade.

The diagram will follow almost a straight line from [M,, to the point where the reinforcing is stressed to its yield point. Until the steel yields, a fairly large additional load is required to appreciably increase the heam’s deflection After the steel yields, the beam has very little additional moment capacity, and only a small addi- tional load isrequired to substantially increase rotations as well as deflections. The slope of the diagram is now very flat. 2.2 Cracking Moment ‘The area of reinforcing as a percentage of the total cross-sectional area of a beam is quite small (usually 2% or less), and its effect on the beam properties is almost negligible as long as the beam is uncracked. Therefore, an approximate calculation of the bending stresses in such a beam can be obtained based oon the gross properties of the beam’s cross section. The stress in the concrete at any point a distance yy from the neutral axis of the cross section can be determined from the following flexure formula in ‘which M is the bending moment equal to of less than the cracking moment of the section and /, is the gross moment of inertia of the cross section: Section 24.2.3.5 of the ACI 318 Code states that the cracking moment of a section may he deter= mined with ACI Equation 24.2.3.5b, in which f, is the modulus of rupture of the concrete and yy, is the distance from the centroidal axis of the section to its extreme fiber in tension, Section 19.2.3.1 of ACI 318 states that f, may be taken equal to 7.54y/f! with ft in psi Or in SI units with ff in N/mm? or MPa, f, =07y— 38 CHAPTER 2 Flexural Analjsis of Beams ‘The “lambda” term is 1.0 for normal-weight concrete and as described in Section 1.12. The cracking moment is as follows: less than 1.0 for lightweight conerete. My = (ACT Equation 24.2.3, 5b) Example 2.1 presents calculations for a reinforced conerete beam where tensile stresses are less than its modulus of rupture. As a result, no tensile cracks are assumed to be present, and the stresses are similar to those occurring in a beam constructed with a homogeneous material. er (2) Assuming the concrete is uncracked, compute the bending stresses in the extreme fibers of the beam of Figure 2.5 for a bending moment of 25 fk.

Don't get the impression that this is the best orientation for aT beam, however. In the next section, when we examine reinforced sections, the opposite will be true. 2.3 Elastic Stresses — Concrete Cracked When the bending moment is sufficiently large to cause the tensile stress in the extreme fibers to be greater than the modulus of rupture, itis assumed that all ofthe concrete on the tensile side of the beam is cracked and must be neglected in the flexure calculations ‘The cracking moment of a beam is normally quite small compared to the service load moment. ‘Thus, when the service loads are applied, the bottom of the beam cracks. The cracking of the beam does not necessarily mean that the beam is going to fail. The reinforcing bars on the tensile side begin to pick up the tension caused by the applied moment. On the tensile side of the beam, an assumption of perfect bond is made between the reinforcing bars and the conerete. Thus, the strain in the concrete and in the steel will be equal at equal distances from the neutral axis. Ifthe strains in the two materials at a particular point are the same, however, their stresses cannot be the same since they have differeat moduli of elasticity. Thus, their stresses are in proportion to the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. The ratio of the steel modulus to the conerete modulus is called the modular ratio, n: Ifthe modular ratio for @ particular beam is 10, the stress in the steel will be 10 times the stress in the concrete at the same distance from the neutral axis. Another way of saying this is that when n = 10, 1 in? of steel will carry the same total force as 10 in? of concrete. For the beam of Figure 2.6, the tee! bars are replaced with an equivalent area of fictitious concrete (nA,), which supposedly can resist tension. This area is referred to asthe transformed area. The resulting revised cross section or transformed section is handled by the usual methods for elastic homogeneous beams. Also shown in the figure is a diagram showing the stress variation in the beam. On the tensile side, a dashed line is shown because the diagram is discontinuous. There, the concrete is assumed to 23 Elastic Stresses—Conoreta Cracked 41 Ar FIGURE 26 Cracked, transformed section. be cracked and unable to resist tension. The value shown opposite the steel is the fictitious stress in the concrete if it could carry tension. This value is shown as f,/n because it must be multiplied by n to give the steel stress Examples 2.3 10 2.5 are transformed-area problems that illustrate the calculations necessary for determining the stresses and resisting moments for reinforced concrete beams. The first step to be taken ‘each of these problems is to locate the neutral axis, which is assumed to be located a distance « from the compression surface of the beam. The first moment of the compression area of the beam cross section about the neutral axis must equal the first moment of the tensile area about the neutral axis. The resulting quadratic equation can be solved by completing the squares or by using the quadratic formula. a 5 i z 8 3 3 i é Bridge construction on an expressway interchange. 42 CHAPTER 2 Flexural Analysis of Beams After the neutral axis is located, the moment of inertia of the transformed s and the stresses in the concrete and the steel are computed with the flexure formula. i Calculate the bending stresses in the beam shown in Figure 2.7 by using the transformed-area method, f, =3000 psi, n = 9, and M =70 ft-k.

Such is the case for this example beam, where the concrete reaches its maximum permissible stress at 67.5 ft-k, while the steel does not reach its maximum value until 73.7 fick is applied. The resisting moment of the section is 6755 fi-k because if that value is exceeded, the concrete becomes overstressed even though the steel stress is less than its allowable stress, ee Compute the bending stresses in the beam shown in Figure 2.9 by using the transformed-area method; n=8andM =110f-k SOLUTION Locating Neutral Axis (Assuming Neutral Axs below Hole) (18in) bo (3) ~ Gin) (in) Bin) =(6) (6.06 in’) in. —» 9x? ~ 36x + 108 = 931 — 40.48x Ox? + 4.48 = 823 22 + 050x = 91.44 (& +025) (x + 0.25) = 91.44 + (0.25)? = 91.50 X+0.25 = VO150 =9.57 32 in. > 6 in, NA. below hole as assumed x= Moment of Inertia 1= (2) eny20ny7ay+ (2) 6m xeiny + 06.0) ae8hy? = 98H n!

They were formerly 24,000 Ibfin.? for Grade 60 reinforcing steel. This is about a 1.596 overstess, in the steol, and many engineers would accept this much overstress as being within the accuracy of their other assumptions. Thie beam would be eallad “tension controlled” because the moment capacity is controlled by the steel, not the concrete. This same beam could be campression controlled if a lot more steel were used. Tension-controlled beams are preferable to compressior-controlled ones, as will be discussed later in this text. Example 2.7 illustrates the analysis of a doubly reinforced concrete beam—that is, one that has compression steel as well as tensile steel. Compression steel is generally thought to be uneconomical, but occasionally its use is quite advantageous. Compression ste! will permit the use of appreciably smaller beams than those that make use of tensile steel only. Reduced sizes can be very important where space or architectural requirements limit the sizes of beams. Compression steel is quite helpful in reducing long-term deflections. and such steel {is useful for positioning stirrups or shear reinforcing, a subject to be discussed in Chapter 8. A detailed discussion of doubly reinforced beams is presented in Chapter 5. ‘The creep or plastic flow of concrete was described in Section 1.12. Should the compression side of a beam be reinforced, the long-term stresses in that reinforcing will be greatly affected by the creep in the concrete. As time goes by, the compression concrete will compact more tightly, leaving the reinforcing bars (which themselves have negligible creep) to carry more and more of the load ‘AS a consequence of this creep in the concrete, the stresses in the compression bars computed by the transformed-area method are assumed to double as time goes by. In Example 2.7, the transformed area of the compression bars is assumed to equal 2n times their area, A Ontthe subject of “hairsplitting,” it will be noted in the example that the compression stee! area is really multiplied by 2n— 1. The transformed areaof the compression side equals the gross compression area of the concrete plus 2n4 minus the area of the holes in the concrete (1A), which theoretically should not have been included in the concrete part. This equals the compression conerete area plus (Qn =A, Similarly, 2n — 1 is used in the moment of inertia calculations, The stresses in the com- pression bars are determined by multiplying 2n times the stresses in the concrete located at the same distance from the neutral axis. 46 CHAPTER 2 Flexural Analysis of Beams i Compute the bending stresses in the beam shown in Figure 2.10;n = 10 and M 118 tek. soLUTION Locating Neutral Axis (14 ny 09 (2) +20~ 1 @o0In%) «-2.51n)=(10) 400In’) C7Sin.—») ‘Te + 38x - 95 = 700- 40x Txt + 78x = 795, + 11.14x= 113.57 14557 = VNGST GET = 1200 w=8.5 in Moment of era 1= (2) iam exon +(20-1 200m) asEInF + GOVADO NCOs 5729 int Bending Stresses = (12) 118,000 ft-tb) (6.45 in.) _ t 1367 psi 6729 in* feonl™ = @) 10) 2220180008) 225i0) _Iggoaps ! 6729 in* 12)1118.00 1) (1.059) 99 59 pat 729 in* ena, Fi (2) Acmal section (6) Transformed section FIGURE 2.10 Beam cross section for Example 27 24 Utimate or Nominal Flexural Mements 47 2.4 Ultimate or Nominal Flexural Moments In this section, a very brief introduction to the calculation of the ultimate or nominal flexural strength of beams is presented, This topic is continued at considerable length in the next chapter, where formulas, limitations, designs, and other matters are presented. For this discussion, itis assumed that the tensile reinforcing bars are stressed to their yield point before the concrete on the compressive side of the beam is erushed. You will learn in Chapter 3 that the ACI Code requires all beam designs to fall into this category. After the concrete compression stresses exceed about 0.50), they no longer vary directly as the distance from the neutral axis or as a straight line. Rather. they vary much as shown in Figure 2.1 1(b). It is assumed for the purpose of this discussion that the curved compression diagram is replaced with 4 rectangular one with a constant stress of 0.85f%, as shown in part (c) of the figure. The rectangular diagram of depth a is assumed to have the same cg. (center of gravity) and total magnitude as the curved diagram. (In Section 3.4 of Chapter 3 of this text, you will learn that this distance a is set equal to fc, where fis 2 value determined by testing and specified by the code.) These assumptions will enable us to easily calculate the theoretical or nominal flexural strength of reinforced concrete beams. Experimental tests show that with the assumptions used here, accurate flexural stengths are determined. To obtain the nominal or theoretical moment strength of a beam, the simple steps to follow are strated in Figure 2.11 and Example 2.8 1. Compute total tensile force T = A, f. 2. Equate total compression force C = 0.85f!ab to A, f, and solve for a. In this expression, cb is the assumed area stressed in compression at 0.8542. The compression force C and the tensile force T must be equal to maintain equilibrium at the section, 3. Calculate the distance between the centers of gravity of T and C.
