A rectangular beam carrying a uniform load of 26 KN/m including its own weight is limited in cross section to 300 mm x 500 mm. The beam is simply supported in a span of 6 m. Using fc = 7 Mpa, fs = 124 Mpa, n = 12, ?? = 40 ???, ?? = 1.7 ???, ?????? ?ℎ? ????. Allow 65 mm distance from centroid of steel bars to extreme fibers.
Moment M=
reinforcement ratio =
=1.2%
size of beam = bd
d = effective depth =D-d'-dia/2
take 20mm diameter bar
d required < d provided hence safe
122.38<500mm
d=500-65-20/2 =425mm
C=T
area of steel As =
no of bar of 20mm diameter =
VVa =40Mpa
provide 2 legged striupp of 25m diameter
shear reinforcement
Smax =d/2=422/2 =211mm
or s =300mm
provided spacing of 300mm
