Slide No. 1
ENCE 355 Assakkaf

Introduction
If a beam cross section is limited because
of architectural or other considerations, it
may happen that concrete cannot develop
the compression force required to resist
the given bending moment.
In this case, reinforcing steel bars are
added in the compression zone, resulting
in a so-called doubly reinforced beam,
that is one with compression as well as
tension reinforcement. (Fig. 1)

Slide No. 3
ENCE 355 Assakkaf

Introduction (contd)
The use of compression reinforcement has
decreased markedly with the use of
strength design methods, which account
for the full strength potential of the
concrete on the compressive side of the
neutral axis.
However, there are situations in which
compressive reinforcement is used for
reasons other than strength.

Q

Slide No. 4
ENCE 355 Assakkaf

Introduction (contd)
It has been found that the inclusion of
some compression steel has the following
advantages:
It will reduce the long-term deflections of
members.
It will set a minimum limit on bending loading
It act as stirrup-support bars continuous
through out the beam span.

Q

Slide No. 5
ENCE 355 Assakkaf

Introduction (contd)
Another reason for placing reinforcement in
the compression zone is that when beams
span more than two supports (continuous
construction), both positive and negative
moments will exist as shown in Fig. 2.
In Fig. 2, positive moments exist at A and
C; therefore, the main tensile
reinforcement would be placed in the
bottom of the beam.

Slide No. 7
ENCE 355 Assakkaf

Introduction (contd)
At B, however, a negative moment exists
and the bottom of the beam is in
compression. The tensile reinforcement,
therefore, must be placed near the top of
the beam.

Doubly Reinforced Beam Analysis

Condition I: Tension and Compression


Steel Both at Yield Stress
The basic assumption for the analysis of
doubly reinforced beams are similar to
those for tensile reinforced beams.
The steel will behave elastically up to the
point where the strain exceeds the yield
strain y. As a limit f s= fy when the
compression strain s y.
If s < y, the compression steel stress will
be f s = s Es.

Condition I: Tension and Compression


Steel Both at Yield Stress (contd)
If, in a doubly reinforced beam, the tensile
steel ratio is equal to or less than b, the
strength of the beam may be approximated
within acceptable limits by disregarding the
compression bars.
The strength of such a beam will be
controlled be tensile yielding, and the lever
arm of the resisting moment will be little
affected by the presence of comp. bars.

If the tensile steel ratio is larger than b, a


somewhat elaborate analysis is required.
In Fig. 3a, a rectangular beam cross
section is shown with compression steel As
placed at distance d from the compression
face and with tensile steel As at the
effective depth d.

Notation for Doubly Reinforced Beam:

As = total compression steel cross-sectional area


d = effective depth of tension steel
d = depth to centroid of compressive steel from compression fiber
As1 = amount of tension steel used by the concrete-steel couple
As2 = amount of tension steel used by the steel-steel couple
As = total tension steel cross-sectional area (As = As1 + As2)
Mn1 = nominal moment strength of the concrete-steel couple
Mn2 = nominal moment strength of the steel-steel couple
Mn = nominal moment strength of the beam
s = unit strain at the centroid of the tension steel
s = unit strain at the centroid of the compressive steel

Condition I: Tension and Compression


Steel Both at Yield Stress (contd)
Method of Analysis:
The total compression will now consist of two
forces
NC1, the compression resisted by the concrete
NC2, the compression resisted by the steel
For analysis, the total resisting moment of the
beam will be assumed to consist of two parts or two
internal couples: The part due to the resistance of
the compressive concrete and tensile steel and the
part due to the compressive steel and additional
tensile steel.

The preceding equations are valid only if
the compression steel has yielded when
the beam reaches its ultimate strength.
In many cases, however, such as for wide,
shallow beams reinforced with higherstrength steels, the yielding of compression
steel may not occur when the beam
reaches its ultimate capacity.
