Example 4: (Simply supported Beam Design)
Design the longitudinal and link reinforcement for the beam show below. Assuming
Class XC1 exposure. The beam is made of Class C25/30, concrete of bulk density
25kN/m3 and Grade 500 steel. g = 25.5 kN/m
k
qk = 20 kN/m b = 300
h = 600
6000 mm
Solution:
i) Design Moment, M
Loading: Permanent Action
Self weight (s/w) = Density x size beam
= 25 kN/m3 x (0.6 m x 0.3 m)
= 4.5 kN/m
Design Moment, M
M = wl2/8
= (70.5 x 62) / 8
= 317.25 kNm
As = M / 0.87fykz
= 317.25 x 106
0.87(500) (0.853 x 545)
= 1569 mm2
From Table A.1, provide 4H25, As = 1960 mm2
h = 600
As = 4H25
vi) Shear reinforcement design
Assume that the support is 350 mm
VRd,c = [0.12(1.61)(100x0.01x25)1/3](300)(544.5)
= 92.3kN
Since VRd,c > Vmin and VRd,c < Vmax therefore shear link is required
Based on = 22o
V,Rd,max (22) = [0.36*bw*d(1-fck/250)*fck]/[cot + tan ]
= [0.36(300)(544.5)(1-25/250)(25)]/[cot 22o + tan 22o]
= [1323 / 2.5 + 0.4]
= 456.2 kN
[Asw/s]actual = 100.5/300
= 0.332 > [Asw/s]min
