Beam Design

This document provides examples and design aids for beam design using SI units. It includes formulas and tables for determining the nominal moment capacity of reinforced concrete beams. It also provides an example problem showing the step-by-step solution for designing the cross section of a beam given loads, material properties, and reinforcement ratio. This includes selecting dimensions, calculating reinforcement area and checking that design requirements are satisfied. Finally, it assigns another design problem asking to size the cross section for a different beam given similar specifications.
