Equilibrium Is Essential -
Compatibility Is Optional
• A beam suitably reinforced can sustain increased torsion moment until eventually failure occurs by yielding of steel.
• For such indeterminate structures where torsion can be eliminated by releasing redundant restraints, no specific design
for torsion is necessary, provided torsional stiffness is neglected in the calculation of internal forces.
• Adequate control of any torsional cracking is provided by the shear reinforcement as per Clause 40 of IS:456
• This simplification implies the acceptance of cracking and increased deformation (twist) in the torsional member.
• The equivalent moment is given by moment due to torsion added to the moment from external loads
• Design for moment shall be carried out as usual for equivalent moment
• The total longitudinal reinforcement is determined for a fictitious bending moment which is a function of actual
bending moment and torsion
• The equivalent shear is given by shear due to torsion added to the ‘regular’ shear from external loads
• Design for shear will be carried out as usual for equivalent shear
• Shear reinforcement is determined for fictitious shear which is a function of actual shear and torsion
