. A simply supported reinforced concrete beam needs to be designed with the following details: Size of Beam: 350 mm x 450 mm. Effective length of Beam: 8 m. Dead Load excluding self-weight of Beam: 30.5 kN/m Reinforcement: 25 mm bars and 8 mm stirrups Effective cover to compression reinforcement: 30 mm
i. Design the beam and find out the number of bars required.
ii. Design the beam for shear.
iii. Draw the detailing of beam.
Live load = 3KN/m square.
The missing values should be assume.
Extracts of BS8110
* Assume any data if missing.
* Consider fcu=40 N/mm2
, fy = fyv = 460 N/mm2
, moderate exposure condition and 1.5 hours of fire
resistance for all the questions.
* Use B.S 8110 for all your calculations and references.
* Draw the structural detailing after designing each member for all
the questions.
*Unit weight of concrete as 25 kN/m3
