BEAM DESIGN

LEARNING OUTCOMES:

The students should be able to:

• Use design code

• Compare manual & computer output
• Prepare structural key plan
• Prepare beam detailing

Beam C/5A – 1A

Determine the size of beam based on longest span (8000 mm)

(refer table 3.9, page 25 BS 8110) or
Overall depth = span/15, breadth = 0.6 X depth
Span = 26 (continuous beam)
d
∴ d = 8000 = 308 mm
26
Cover
Table 3.4, mild cover = 25 mm concrete grade C30.
Table 3.5, 2 hr Fire resistance cover = 30 mm
∴ Take cover = 30 mm
Say diameter of bar = 20 mm
∴ h = d + Ø/2 + cover
= 308 + 20/2 + 30 = 348 mm
Say take h = 400 mm 2
 b = h/2 = 400/2 = 200 mm (b = h/2 → h/3)

Figure 3.2 For 2 hrs fire resistance b = 200 mm (min)

∴ b = 200 mm = 200 mm (O.K)
Self wt of beam = 24 x 200 x 400 = 1.9 kN/m
1000 1000
Factored self wt = 1.4 x 1.92 = 2.7 kN/m
Cl. 3.5.3.7 Loads on supporting beam
From slab design n = 10.18 kN/m2

For the purpose of manual calculation take 4 span at the middle.
