Example 7: Design of bending reinforcement
for a singly reinforced beam (BS 8110)
A simply supported rectangular beam of 7 m span
carries characteristic dead (including self-weight of
beam), gk, and imposed, qk, loads of 12 kNm−1 and 8
kNm−1 respectively (see Fig.). The beam dimensions
are breadth, b, 275 mm and effective depth, d, 450
mm. Assuming the following material strengths,
calculate the area of reinforcement required. fy =500
Nmm−2 and fcu =30 Nmm−1

A simply supported rectangular beam of 7 m span
carries characteristic dead (including self-weight of
beam), gk, and imposed, qk, loads of 12 kNm−1 and 8
kNm−1 respectively (see Fig.). The beam dimensions
are breadth, b, 275 mm and effective depth, d, 450

Example 9: use charts (BS 8110) to design bending
reinforcement for a singly reinforced beam
A simply supported rectangular beam of 7 m span
carries characteristic dead (including self-weight of
beam), gk, and imposed, qk, loads of 12 kNm−1 and 8
kNm−1 respectively (see Fig.). The beam dimensions
are breadth, b, 275 mm and effective depth, d, 450
mm. Assuming the following material strengths,

Example 10: Design of a simply supported
concrete beam (BS 8110)
A reinforced concrete beam which is 300 mm wide
and 600 mm deep is required to span 6.0 m between
the centres of supporting piers 300 mm wide (see
Fig). The beam carries dead and imposed loads of 25
kNm−1 and 19 kNm−1 respectively. Assuming fcu =30
Nmm−2, fy = fyv =500 Nmm−2 and the exposure class is
MILD, design the beam.
Example 11: Analysis of a singly reinforced
concrete beam (BS 8110)
A singly reinforced concrete beam in which fcu =30
Nmm−2 and fy =500 Nmm−2 contains 1960 mm2 of
tension reinforcement (Fig). If the effective span is 7m
and the density of reinforced concrete is 24 kNm−3 ,
calculate the maximum imposed load that the beam
can carry assuming that the load is (a) uniformly
distributed and (b) occurs as a point load at mid-span.
