1.

GENERAL :
The design of reinforcement for Limit State of Collapse in Flexure and Shear for T Beam
Section is carried out as per IS-456. Check for Minimum and Maximum Reinforcement criteria
is considered for Flexure as per the Code. Check for minimum shear reinforcement, maximum
spacing of shear reinforcement is done as per the Code.

2. T Beam Design for Flexure as per IS 456 :

* The Input data for the Beam design for Flexure :
  Factored BM (Mu), Beam Dimensions and Effective Cover for Tension and Compression Steel,
Grade of Concrete fck
* Clear cover for the beam would be as per Table16 for Durability criteria and as per Table 16A
for Fire resistance criteria. In mild exposure condition for a fire resistance of 0.5 hour, 20mm
cover is provided for stirrups. Based on this eff. cover would be calculated by designer based
on no. of layers in which steel would be provided. To start with 40 to 50mm cover may adopted
and corrected on finding the actual disposition of bars in next iteration by the designer.
 * For given BM, Mu < Mu,lim, the section is singly reinforced beam and only Tension steel is
calculated, comp. steel would be zero. Minimum area of tension steel Ast,min (mm2)  = 0.205
% of the gross area of section.  If Ast, calculated < Ast,min, Ast,min is reported. For Mu >
Mu,lim both tension and comp. steel are calculated. The Maximimum Tension Steel is 4 % of
the gross area of section. If Ast,calculated  > Ast,max, A message to "REV DEPTH" appers in
the cell.
* Based on the area of steel required 'Ast', use Rebar calculator to to determine size and
number of bars required. Recalculate the effective cover based on the rebar arrangement, with
input of revised cover recalculate design steel required. The spacing < 180mm as per
Cl.26.3.3. for zero % redistribution of moment with Fe 415 steel.
