Flexural Design Procedure for Singly Reinforced Rectangular Beams
The following paragraphs summarize the design procedure for rectangular beams. Theprocedure can be easily extended to other shapes.
Design is an iterative process and there is no unique solution. The following is providedto give a general outline of the design process.
1. Design requirements (provided by code and/or others)a. Strength design - un MM ≥φb. Serviceability – small deflections and cracksc. Durability – corrosion and fire resistantd. Economical
2. Strength design requirementsa. Loading given.b. It is likely that the outline of structure has already been determined. Therefore,
span should be knownc. Find factored load using ASCE-7 load factors (Appendix C)
3. Select strength of reinforcing steel and concretea. Concrete strength of 3000 psi is commonly used for the design of beams protected
from weather and spanning moderate distances (25 to 30 ft.). 3000 psi concretehas sufficent strength and workability. Higher concrete strengths may be used toincrease durability (i.e., air entrained concrete) or for columns.
b. Steel strength normally 60 ksi. Higher strength steel may be used to reduce thearea of reinforcement required however the ducility of higher strength steels isreduced. Therefore, in seismic regions, it is common to use A 706 reinforcement.
4. Select beam dimensionsa. Find minimum thickness using ACI Table 9.5a

b. Beam width, bTypically use d/b = 1.5 to 3.i) Shallow, wide beams:
easy bar placementmore headroomlower formwork costsless efficient
ii) Deep, narrow beams:minimum weight and steelmaximum stiffnessdifficult to place reinforcementlarge interstory heights.
c. Beam dimensions typically whole inches, multiples of 2 inches if possible; slabsand walls may be specified in ½-inch increments.
5. Analyze structure assuming elastic behavior, to find load effects. Typically, used aneffective moment of inertia for entire beam that is less than the uncracked moment ofinertia.
6. Select reinforcing ratioa. Find minimum steel area (ACI 10.5.1 and 10.5.2).

b. Find maximum steel area. Use either ACI Chapter 9 (10.3.3) where
balρρ 75.0< or Appendix B for which tension failure corresponds to εs = 0.005.

. Check actual beam strengthUsing the actual depth (d) and bars, determine the actual strength of the beam. Ensurethat un MM ≥φ . If this is satisfied, the beam design meets the minimum flexural
strength requirements. Otherwise, redesign beam dimensions and/or reinforcing ratioto meet the demand.
In additon, you must:
. Design shear reinforcement0. Check serviceability requirements1. Detail anchorage of reinforcement; check flexural bond requirements
We will do this in this later in the class.
• Place bars directly above bottom bars (ACI 7.6.2)• Use larger bars in bottom row, at least 2 bars per layer• Try to place bars in one row, no more than 6 bars per layer
Minimum clear spacingof 1 inch (ACI 7.6.1) or 1.33 times the diameter of coarseaggregate (ACI 3.3.2)
Minimum clear spacingof 1 inch or bar diameter (ACI 7.6.2)or 1.33 times the diameter of coarseaggregate (ACI 3.3.2)
• No more than two barssizes at any one location.• Bar sizes should notdiffer more than 2 sizes.• Use No. 11 bars orsmaller for normal-sizebeams.
