Introduction to Continuous Beam
Continuous beams
are beams that
have more than
one span and
normally found in
cast in-situ
construction.

construction.

shows failure
mode of a
continuous beam
and the position
of the main
reinforcement.
Assumption Loading from Slab
Loading acting on a beam can be contributed by loading from
the supported slabs, supported secondary beams,
brickwall, and other structure elements such as staircase,
roof truss etc.
Load distribution from the slab to beam always depends on the
geometry of slabs, type of supports condition and continuity of

geometry of slabs, type of supports condition and continuity of
the slabs.
Assumption Loading from Slab (cont)
For rectangular slabs that supported in 4-sides, the following
method can be used:
0ne-way slab (L/Lx > 2.0)

where n = uniform distributed load on slab (kN/m

)
Assumption Loading from Slab (cont)
For rectangular slabs that supported in 4-sides, the following
method can be used:
Two-way slab (L/Lx < 2.0)

where n = uniform distributed load on slab (kN/m

)
Flanged beams
Flanged beams are cast as a part of the slab system.
When the beams are resisting sagging moments, the slab act as a
compression flange and the members designed as T or L beams.
With hogging moments, the slab will be in tension and the members
designed as a rectangular section.

Analysis Method
There are few methods that could be used in obtaining shear
and moment values of a continuous beam for design purposes:
o Use of shear and moment coefficient
o Moment distribution
o Stiffness method
