Enter the values in these cells only.

1) Basic data b 300mm

Clear span of the beam L 6m
Width of support 500mm
Grade of concrete Fck 20 N/mm2
Grade of steel Fy 415 N/mm2
Clear cover 25mm
Super-imposed load w 30KN/m
Assume Diameter of bars 25mm
Assume Overall depth D 500mm
dprov 454.5mm

2)Effective span of the beam

c/c dist. 6.5m
L+d 6.4545m
Leff. 6.4545m

3)Factored B.M and S.F

Self-wt of beam 3.75KN/m
Factored load wu 50.63KN/m
Factored B.M Mu 263.63KNm
Factored S.F Vu 163.38KN

4)Design factors xumax/d 0.48

Qlim 2.7554329
Mu,lim 170.75714KNm
since Mu > Mu,lim, a doubly reinforced section is required

5) Determination of tensile R/F

ptlim 0.9554283
Ast1 1302.7265 mm2
Cover to comp. R/F d' 45.5mm
Ast2 628.95 mm2
Ast 1931.67 mm2
Max. R/F 6000 mm2 OK
No. of 25 mm bars required 3.9371675
Nprovided 4nos.
pt,provided 1.44%
Hence provide 4 bars of 25 mm dia.
6) Determination of compression R/F
d'/d 0.1
fsc 353 N/mm2
Asc 643.29 mm2
φ 16mm
No. of 16 mm bars required 3.20nos.
Nprovided 4nos.
Hence provide 4 bars of 16 mm dia.

7) Check for shear X 50.625 KN/m

Shear at a dist.d from the face of suport 140.37047KN
𝛽= (0.8∗𝑓𝑐𝑘)/(6.8
Shear Design parameters pt,provided 1.44% d X
β 1.61 Vu Vu 𝜏𝑐=0.85∗√(0.8
τc 0.71 N/mm2
τv 1.03 N/mm2 NOT OK
Assume dia. Of stirrups φ 8mm
fy 250 N/mm2
No. of legs of stirrups 2
Asv 100.48 mm2
Sv 374.25mm c/c ≈ 370mm c/c
Maximum spacing of shear reinforcement (As per cl 26.5.1.5 of IS 456-2000)
1) 340.88mm
2) 300.00mm
3) 302.32mm
NOT OK since spacing exceeds the maximum value hence provide min. of all
Sv,provided 300mm c/c
Hence provide 8 mm dia. 2 lgd strps @ 300 mm c/c

8)Check for development length

Ld 1175mm
xu 𝑥𝑢= (0.87∗𝑓𝑦∗𝐴𝑠𝑡)/
322.88mm
M1 222.40KNm
V 163.38KN
L0 454.5mm
1.3M1/V + L0 2224.14mm OK
