Description This application determines the sizes of rectangular beams to satisfy the flexural requirements, shear requirements and minimum thickness limits of ACI 318-89 using the strength design method of ACI 318-89. The required input includes the strength of the concrete and the reinforcement, the maximum values for factored load bending moments and shears, and the span lengths and types of span for the spans which will determine minimum depths. Three beam sizes are shown for illustrative purposes, however any practical number of spans may be entered at one time. Reference: ACI 318-89 "Building Code Requirements for Reinforced Concrete." (Revised 1992) Input Input Variables Enter Mu, Vu, L and SpanType as vectors with the number of rows equal to the number of beam sizes to be determined.

Equations and numeric solutions presented in this Mathcad worksheet are applicable to the
specific example, boundary condition or case presented in the book. Although a reasonable effort was made to generalize these equations, changing variables such as loads, geometries and spans, materials and other input parameters beyond the intended range may make some equations no longer applicable. Modify the equations as appropriate if your parameters fall outside of the intended range. For this Mathcad worksheet, the global variable defining the beginning index identifier for vectors and arrays, ORIGIN, is set as specified in the beginning of the worksheet, to either 1 or 0. If ORIGIN is set to 1 and you copy any of the formulae from this worksheet into your own, you need to ensure that your worksheet is using the same ORIGIN.
