Procedure Analysis for Rectangular Beams with tension Reinforcement (Singly reinforcement)
A
1. Calculate ρ = bds

Where As = n × 4 × D2
n = number of bars.
D = diameter of reinforcement bar.
Check if the provided ρ is in agreement with ACI requirements.

• According to ACI code β1 can be calculated from table below

dt−c
𝜀t = 𝜀u where: 𝜀 u = 0.003
c
• If 𝜀 t ≥ 0.005, then ∅ = 0.9
• If 𝜀 t < 0.005 then
∅ = 0.483 + 83.3 × 𝜀t
3. Calculate ∅Mn
∅Mn can be calculated from:
a
∅Mn = ∅Asfy(d − 2)
Or
a
∅Mn = ∅0.85fc`ab(d − 2)
Or
ρfy
∅Mn = ∅ ρfybd2(1 − 0.59 )

4. Find Mu and compare it with ∅Mn
If ∅Mn ≥ Mu the section is Ok.
Else if ∅Mn < Mu the section is not Ok.

Design Procedure for Web Reinforcement

1. Calculate shear force at critical section.

2. Find ∅Vc = ∅0.17√fc ` bwd , where ∅ is always equal to 0.75.
3.
∅Vc
• When Vu ≤ then shear reinforcement is not required.

∅Vc
• When < Vu ≤ ∅Vc then minimum shear reinforcement must be provided as shown below:

𝜋
Where Av is the area for shear reinforcement = 4 × ∅2𝑠𝑡𝑖𝑟𝑟𝑢𝑝𝑠 × No. of Legs
• When Vu > ∅Vc Go to step 4.
4. When Vu > ∅Vc calculate ∅Vs
Vu = ∅Vc + ∅Vs → ∅Vs = Vu − ∅Vc
Check if ∅Vs ≤ ∅0.66√fc ` bwd then beam dimensions are O.K
Else if ∅Vs > ∅0.66√fc ` bwd then change beam dimensions.
5. Calculate So

So = ∅Vs

6. Calculate Smaximum
