Flexural Stress
The beam is a structural
member used to support
the internal moments and
shears. It would be
called a beam-column if
a compressive force
existed.

M = C*(jd)

Flexural Stress
The stress in the block
is defined as:
M*y) / I
Sxx = I / (ymax)
The equation for Sxx
modulus for calculating
maximum compressive
stress.

Flexural Stress
There are 5 stages the concrete through which the beam
goes.
Stage 1: No external
loads self weight.
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
goes.
Stage 2: the external
load P cause the bottom
fibers to equal to
modulus of rupture of
the concrete. Entire
concrete section was
effective, steel bar at
tension side has same
strain as surrounding
concrete.
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
goes.
Stage 3: The tensile
strength of the concrete
exceeds the rupture fr and
cracks develop. The
neutral axis shifts upward
and cracks extend to
neutral axis. Concrete
loses tensile strength and
steel starts working
effectively and resists the
entire tensile load. wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
goes.
Stage 4: The
reinforcement yields.
Stage 5: Failure of the
beam.
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
The three stages of
the beam.
Stage 1: No external
loads acting on the
beam.
Stage 3: Service
loading on the beam.
Stage 5: Beam
failure.

The moment-curvature

stages of the beam. The
plot is of the curvature
angle, , verse the
moment.

wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
The beam fails first in shear and the second beam fails
in bending moment.
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
There are three types of flexural failure of a structural
member.
Steel may reach its yield strength before the concrete
reaches its maximum. (Under-reinforced section).
Steel reaches yield at same time as concrete reaches
ultimate strength. (Balanced section).
Concrete may fail before the the yield of steel due to
the presence of a high percentage of steel in the
section. (Over-reinforced section).

Example
Consider a simple rectangular beam( b x h )
reinforced with steel reinforcement of As.
(1) Determine the centroid ( neutral axis, NA ) and

moment of inertia Izz of the beam for an ideal
beam (no cracks).
(2) Determine the NA and moment of inertia, I , of
zz
beam if the beam is cracked and tensile forces
are in the steel only.

more than half of its strength.

Flexural Stress
Basic Assumptions in Flexure Theory
Plane sections remain plane ( not
true for deep beams h > 4b)
The strain in the reinforcement is
equal to the strain in the concrete at
the same level, i.e. s = c at same
level.
Stress in concrete & reinforcement
may be calculated from the strains
using curves for concrete & steel.
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
Additional Assumptions for design (for simplification)
Tensile strength of concrete is neglected
for calculation of flexural strength.
Concrete is assumed to fail in
compression, when c (concrete strain) =
cu (limit state) = 0.003
Compressive relationship for
concrete may be assumed to be any
shape that results in an acceptable
prediction of strength.
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
The concrete may exceed the c at the outside edge
of the compressive zone.
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
The compressive force is modeled as Cc = k1k3fc b*c
at the location x = k2*c
wood4657@yahoo.es
Flexural Stress
The compressive
coefficients of the stress
block at given for the
following shapes.
k3 is ratio of maximum
stress at fc in the
compressive zone of a
beam to the cylinder

typical value for common

The compressive zone is modeled with a equivalent
stress block.
