Ultimate Strength Design of Beams(Strength Design of Beams)

Strength design method is based on the philosophy of dividing F.O.S. in such a way that Bigger part is applied on loads and smaller part is applied on material strength.

• The resultant of concrete compressive force Cc, acts at the centriod of parabolic stress diagram.

• Equivalent stress diagram is made in such a way that it has the same area as that of actual stress diagram. Thus the Cc, will remain unchanged.

Types of Cross Sections w.r.t. Flexure at Ultimate Load Level (contd…)

Both the “Tension Controlled Section” and “Transition Section” are “Under-Reinforced Section”

In Under-Reinforced Sections steel starts yielding before the crushing of concrete and:

ρ < ρ b

It is always desirable that the section is under-reinforced otherwise the failure will initiate by the crushing of concrete. As concrete is a brittle material so this type of failure will be sudden which is NOT DESIREABLE.

3. Compression Controlled Section (over-reinforced section)

The section in which net steel strain in the extreme tension steel is lesser than εy when corresponding concrete strain is 0.003.

Capacity of steel remain unutilized. It gives brittle failure without warning.

Strength Reduction Factor (Resistance Factor), Φ It is reciprocal of minor part of overall factor of safety that is applied on strength of member to obtain its design strength.

Tension Controlled Section, Φ = 0.9 Compression Controlled Section

Member with lateral ties, Φ = 0.65

Members with spiral reinforcement, Φ = 0.75

Transition Section

For transition section Φ is permitted to be linearly interpolated between 0.65 or 0.75 to 0.9. 20

Minimum Reinforcement of Flexural Members(ACI – 10.5.1)

The minimum steel is always provided in structural members because when concrete is cracked then all load comes on steel, so there should be a minimum amount of steel to resist that load to avoid sudden failure.

For slabs this formula gives a margin of 1.1 to 1.5. This formula is not used for slabs.

Stage-II, Cracked Section

When section cracks, N.A. moves towards compression face means “la” increases. “T” and “Cc” also increase.

Stage-I, Un-cracked SectionN.A. position is fixed, means “la” remains constant. Only “T” and “Cc” increase with the increase of load

25

Plain & Reinforced Concrete-1

Under-Reinforced Failure (contd…)

Stage-III, Yielding in Steel Occur

T = Asfy remains constant and Cc also remains constant. “la” increases as the N.A. moves towards compression face because cracking continues.

Failure initiates by the yielding of steel but final failure is still by crushing of concrete

1. Calculate ρ and ρmax if ρ < ρmax section is under-reinforced.

Selection of Steel Bars for Beams1. When different diameters are selected the

maximum difference can be a gap of one size.2. Minimum number of bars must be at least two,

one in each corner.3. Always Place the steel symmetrically.4. Preferably steel may be placed in a single layer

but it is allowed to use 2 to 3 layers.5. Selected sizes should be easily available in

market6. Small diameter (as far as possible) bars are

easy to cut and bend and place.44

Plain & Reinforced Concrete-1

Selection of Steel Bars for Beams (contd…)

7. ACI Code RequirementsThere must be a minimum clearance between bars (only

exception is bundled bars). Concrete must be able to flow through the reinforcement. Bond strength between concrete and steel must be fully developed.

Minimum spacing must be lesser of the following

Nominal diameter of bars 25mm in beams & 40mm in columns 1.33 times the maximum size of aggregate used.

We can also give an additional margin of 5 mm. 45

Design of Singly Reinforced Beam by Strength Method (for flexure only)

Data: Load, Span (SFD, BMD) fc’, fy, Es

Architectural depth, if any

Required: Dimensions, b & h Area of steel Detailing (bar bending schedule)

Procedure:

1. Select reasonable steel ratio between ρmin and ρmax. Then find b, h and As.

2. Select reasonable values of b, h and then calculate ρ and As.

2. Using Trial DimensionsI. Calculate loads acting on the beam.II. Calculate total factored loads and plot SFD

and BMD. Determine Vumax and Mumax.

III. Select suitable value of beam width ‘b’. Usually between L/20 to L/15. preferably a multiple of 75mm or 114 mm.

IV. Calculate dmin.b'f205.0
