The document outlines a problem set focused on the design and analysis of reinforced concrete beams using the 2015 NSCP guidelines. It includes multiple problems that require calculations for various beam dimensions, material strengths, and loading conditions to determine the necessary reinforcement. The problems cover aspects such as tension and compression reinforcement, flexural strength, and adequacy checks for specified loading scenarios.

PRINCIPLE OF REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

PROBLEM SET NO. 3


Design and Analysis of DRRB
Problem 1: A reinforced concrete beam has total depth limited to 500mm
due to architectural clear floor height requirement. Effective concrete
cover is 65mm, f’c = 28 MPa and fy = 415 MPa. Total factored moment is
260 kN-m
1.1 Determine the approximate required value of As if the architect also
wishes to have the smallest possible beam width. Design a singly-
reinforced, tension-controlled section based on 2015 NSCP.
1.2 If the width is 350mm, determine the maximum number of 25mm∅ that
can be used for a tension-controlled, singly-reinforced section based
on 2015 NSCP

Problem 2: A rectangular concrete beam having a width of 250mm and


effective depth of 350mm will be designed to carry the factored design
loads as stated. The steel yield strength fy = 275 MPa and concrete
strength fc’ = 20.7 MPa. If the compression steel is found necessary,
it will be placed 60mm from the extreme compression fiber of the beam.
Neglect the effect of the displaced concrete and use the NSCP 2015.
2.1 Determine the number of pieces of 20mm∅ tension steel for a singly-
reinforced section reinforced with maximum steel for tension control.
2.2 Determine the number of pieces of 20mm∅ tension reinforcements if
beam is to carry a factored design moment of 80 kN-m.
2.3 Determine the number of pieces of 20mm∅ tension reinforcements if
beam is to carry a factored design moment of 135 kN-m.
2.4 Determine the number of pieces of 20mm∅ compression reinforcements
if beam is to carry a factored design moment of 135 kN-m.

Problem 3: A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and an


effective depth of 600 mm. Compressive reinforcement (if required) will
be placed at d’ = 60mm. f’c = 27.5 MPa and fy = 415 MPa. Use 2015 NSCP.
The beam is to support a factored bending moment of 670 kN-m.
3.1 Determine the area of steel required as tension reinforcement if the
minimum strain in the extreme tension steel is permitted to be 0.004.
3.2 Determine the area of steel required as tension reinforcement if the
minimum strain in the extreme tension steel is limited to 0.005.
3.3 Determine the number of 28mm∅ bars required as tension reinforcement
if the reduction factor, 𝜙 =0.90.

Problem 4
Given Beam Data:
Beam width, bw = 300mm
Concrete strength, fc’ = 24 MPa
Steel yield strength, fy = 415 MPa
The beam has 3 – ϕ25mm bars at the compression side having an effective
cover of 60mm. If said bars are found necessary to resist the loads, the
effect of the concrete displaced by said reinforcements shall not be
neglected. Use the 2015 NSCP.
4.1 Determine the flexural strength of the section in kN-m if beam is
reinforced with 4 – ϕ25mm bars placed in a single layer under an effective
depth of 570mm.
4.2 Determine the actual stress (MPa) in the reinforcements if beam is
reinforced with 8 – ϕ25mm bars placed equally in two layers having an
effective depth of 540mm to centroid of the total tension steel and 570mm
to the centroid of outer layer reinforcements.
4.3 Determine the flexural strength of the section in kN-m if beam is
reinforced with 8 – ϕ25mm bars placed equally in two layers having an
effective depth of 540mm to centroid of total tension reinforcement and
570mm to the centroid of outer layer reinforcements.

Problem 5: Check the adequacy of the 300mm by 500mm rectangular beam to


adequately support the maximum moment of a 6m beam due to the
concentrated live load of 100 kN at the mid span and a uniform dead load
of 30 kN/m all throughout the beam. Use fc’ = 30 MPa, fy = 415 MPa,
stirrups diameter = 10 mm, and concrete cover = 40 mm.

Problem 6: Design the reinforcements of the section shown using NSCP


2015. Do not forget to analyze your Design.

a. Mudemand = 60 kN-m , ∅b = 25 mm
b. Mudemand = 540 kN-m , ∅b = 36 mm
Use f’c = 21 MPa, Grade 40 Steel, d’= 65 mm, ∅b = 25 mm, NSCP 2015
Specifications.
Problem 7: A 12m restrained beam 300mm x 600mm carries a service dead
load of 30 kN/m (including beam weight) and a service live load of 25
kN/m. Design the reinforcements of the beam at the mid span and near the
support using NSCP 2015 provision. Use: fc’ = 28 MPa, fy = 400 MPa, ∅b
= 36 mm, effective concrete cover = 65 mm
