 Design of Singly Reinforced Beam

Design a singly reinforced beam of clear span of 5m to support a working live load of 15 kN/m. Adopt
M-20 grade concrete, and Fe-415 steel.

Assume Bearing = 380mm

Input:
l = m
LL = kN/m
fck = N/mm2
fy = N/mm2
Bearing = mm m

Solution:

le = l+tw = m mm

Size of beam

d = le/12 = mm

Provide, D = mm

CC = 25 mm
Assume
dia. = 20 mm

Ce = CC+(dia./2) = mm
de = D-Ce = mm m
b = (1/3)*d to (2/3)*d
mm
say,b= mm

Provide, size of beam = b X D

= X mm
X m
Effective span, le: least of the following
i) C/C distance b/w bearing (le) = m
ii) Clear span + eff. Depth = l+de = m

Therefore, effective span, l = m

Load calculation:
i) DL or self wt of beam = b*D*𝛾 = kN/m
ii) LL = kN/m

Total load,w = kN/m

Ultimate load (wu) = 1.5*wu = kN/m
Say, wu = kN/m
Factored Moment (Mu)
Mu = (wu*l2)/8 = kN-m

Check for effective depth (d)

Equating Mu = Mu,lim = 0.138fckbd2 for Fe415

dreq = √(𝑀𝑢/(0⋅138𝑓_𝑐𝑘 𝑏)) = mm de

Area of tension reinforcement (Ast)

𝑀𝑢/𝑏𝑑2
=

Refer SP16, Table 2 (fck & fy) to obtain pt value

pt =

Ast,p = ptbd/100 = mm2

Check for minimum reinforcement

Ast,req = 0.85*b*d/fy = mm2 Ast,p

Provide bar dia. = 20 mm

ast = 𝜋d2/4 = mm2

No. of bars = Ast/ast = say

Provide dia as tension reinforcement

Ast,p = n*(𝜋d2/4) = mm2

Design of shear reinforcement

Vu = wu*l/2 = kN = N

𝜏v = Vu/bd

𝜏v = Vu/bd = N/mm2 𝜏c,max = 2.8

(IS 456:2000, Table 20) N/mm2
% of steel = 100Ast/bd = %

Refer IS: 456-2000, table 19

 𝜏c = N/mm2

𝜏v 𝜏c

Therefore,

Shear carried by concrete = 𝜏c*bd = kN

Balance shear carried by stirrups (Vw) = Vu - 𝜏cbd = kN

= N

Providing 2Legged - 8 mm dia stirrups

Spacing of stirrups = Sv = 0.87f yAsvd/Vw

Asv =2*(𝜋d2/4) = mm2

Sv = mm

Maximum spacing: Least of the following

i) Sv = mm
ii) Sv = (0.87fyAsv)/(0.4b) = (minimum shear
mm reinforcement)
iii) 0.75d = mm
iv) = mm

Therefor, Provide 2L-8mm dia @ c/c

Check for deflection

Percentage steel provided, pt = %

Stress in steel at service loads,

fs = 0.58fy (Ast,r/Ast,p) = N/mm2

Read out modification factor (Kt) from curve (from fig. 4 of IS 456) for
fs = N/mm2
pt = %

Therefore, Kt =

(l/d)max = 20kt =

(l/d)provided =

Therefore, (l/d)max (l/d)provided

Hence,
