3.0 Learning Outcome
At the end of the lesson, you should be to create a design of flexural
members such as singly-reinforced beams.
3.1 Introduction
The flexural members such as beams and slabs are the center of the
discussion in this Learning Packet 3 (LP 3). The beam has the following sections
rectangular and T-beam which will be designed as singly-reinforced and doubly
reinforced beams. The slabs are classified as one-way slab and two-way slabs.
This LP 3 is a self-directed learning materials for students in CE 515
Reinforced Concrete Design. This is supported by the books, videos and other
references found in SSU LMS via ssuonline.net. In case, my dear students you
cannot download these materials from the SSU LMS, please let me know, and
a hard or soft copy will be provided to you through any means of
communication like messenger or call via mobile phone.

A reinforced concrete beam has a width of 300 mm and a total depth of 500
mm. It is reinforced with 6-28 mm diameter bars as indicated in the figure.
f’c =27.6 MPa, fy = 414.7 MPa, Es = 200,000 MPa.

strain capacity and commences to crush.

2) Tension-controlled sections are those sections in which the net
tensile strain, εt , is equal to or greater than 0.005 just as the concrete
in the compression reaches its assumed strain limit of 0.003.
