BS8110 RC Beam Design

This document provides design calculations for a reinforced concrete beam according to BS8110, including details of the beam geometry and materials, calculations for flexure and shear capacity, and checks that reinforcement spacing requirements are satisfied though the provided shear reinforcement is insufficient. Reinforcement and material specifications are given for a rectangular concrete beam undergoing flexure and shear loading.

Flanged section in flexure - Positive moment


Design bending moment; M = 500 kNm
Distance between points of zero moment; L0 = 6800 mm
Effective flange width; beff = min(0.2 ´ l0 + b, bf) = 1000 mm
Depth to tension reinforcement; d = h - cnom_b - fv - fbot / 2 = 636 mm
Percentage redistribution; mr = 0 %
Redistribution ratio; bb = min(1 - mr, 1) = 1.000
K = M / (beff ´ d2 ´ fcu) = 0.025
K' = 0.156 = 0.156
K' > K - No compression reinforcement is required
Lever arm; z = min(d ´ (0.5 + (0.25 - K / 0.9)0.5), 0.95 ´ d) = 604 mm
Depth of neutral axis; x = (d - z) / 0.45 = 71 mm
Area of tension reinforcement required; As,req = M / (0.87 ´ fy ´ z) = 1902 mm2
Tension reinforcement provided; 4 ´ 32f bars

Area of tension reinforcement provided; As,prov = 3217 mm2


Minimum area of reinforcement; As,min = 0.0013 ´ b ´ h = 364 mm2
Maximum area of reinforcement; As,max = 0.04 ´ b ´ d = 10176 mm2
PASS - Area of reinforcement provided is greater than area of reinforcement required
Rectangular section in shear
Design shear force ; V = 600 kN
Design shear stress; v = V / (b ´ d) = 2.358 N/mm2
Design concrete shear stress; vc = 0.79 ´ min(3,[100 ´ As,prov / (b ´ d)]1/3) ´ max(1, (400 /d)1/4) ´ (min(fcu,

Allowable design shear stress; vmax = min(0.8 N/mm2 ´ (fcu/1 N/mm2)0.5, 5 N/mm2) = 5.000 N/mm2
PASS - Design shear stress is less than maximum allowable
Value of v from Table 3.7; (vc + 0.4 N/mm2) < v < vmax
Design shear resistance required; vs = max(v - vc, 0.4 N/mm2) = 1.559 N/mm2
Area of shear reinforcement required; Asv,req = vs ´ b / (0.87 ´ fyv) = 1434 mm2/m
Shear reinforcement provided; 2 ´ 13f legs at 300 c/c
Area of shear reinforcement provided; Asv,prov = 885 mm2/m
FAIL - Area of shear reinforcement provided is less than the minimum required
Maximum longitudinal spacing; svl,max = 0.75 ´ d = 477 mm
PASS - Longitudinal spacing of shear reinforcement provided is less than maximum
Spacing of reinforcement (cl 3.12.11)
Actual distance between bars in tension; s = (b - 2 ´ (cnom_s + fv + fbot/2)) /(Nbot - 1) - fbot = 59 mm

Minimum distance between bars in tension (cl 3.12.11.1)


Minimum distance between bars in tension; smin = hagg + 5 mm = 25 mm
