Introduction

Reinforced Concrete
It is a well-known fact that plain concrete is strong in compression and very weak in
tension. The tensile strength of concrete is about one-tenth its compressive strength. As a result,
a plain concrete beam fails suddenly as soon as the tension cracks start to develop. Therefore,
reinforcing steel is added in the tension zone to carry all the developed tensile stresses; this is
called a reinforced concrete beam.

The advantages of each material seem to compensate for the disadvantages of the other. The great
shortcoming of low concrete tensile strength is compensated for by the high tensile strength of the
steel. The tensile strength of the steel is approximately equal to 100-140 times the tensile
strength of the usual concrete mix. Also, the two materials bond together very well with no
slippage, and thus act together as one unit in resisting the applied loads.

The disadvantage of steel is corrosion, but the concrete surrounding the reinforcement
provides an excellent protection. Moreover, the strength of the exposed steel subjected to fire
is close to zero, but again the enclosure of the reinforcement in the concrete produces very
satisfactory fire protection.

Reinforced Concrete Behavior.


The addition of steel reinforcement that bonds strongly to concrete produces a relatively ductile
material capable of transmitting tension and suitable for any structural elements, e.g., slabs,
beam, columns. Reinforcement should be placed in the locations of anticipated tensile stresses
and cracking areas as shown in Fig. For example, the main reinforcement in a simple beam
is placed at the bottom fibers where the tensile stresses develop (Fig. A). However, for a
cantilever, the main reinforcement is at the top of the beam at the location of the maximum negative
moment (Fig. B). Finally for a continuous beam; a part of the main reinforcement should be
placed near the bottom fibers where the positive moments exist and the other part is placed
at the top fibers where the negative moments exist (Fig 3C).

Main Design Theories.

Limit States Design Method

The code BS 8110, states that the aim of design is the achievement of an acceptable probability
that the structure will perform satisfactory during its life. It must carry loads safely, not deform
excessively and have adequate durability and resistance to the effect of misuse and fire.

Limit State design method has been developed to take account of all conditions that can make the
structure become unfit for use. The design is based on the actual behavior of materials and
structures in use. It can be divided into two groups;
1- Ultimate limit states, in which when ultimate limit states are exceeded, the whole
structure or part of it collapse.

2- Serviceability limit states, in which when serviceability limit states are exceeded, make
the structure or part of it unfit for normal use, but do not indicate that collapse has
occurred.

Design Method

Three basic methods using factor of safety to achieve safe and workable structures have been
develop:
1- The permissible stress method in which ultimate strength of the materials are divided by a factor
of safety to provide design stresses which are usually within the elastic range.

2- The load factor method in which the working loads are multiplied by a factor of safety.
3- Limit state design method is done by applying partial factor of safety, both to the loads and to
the material strengths.

Main concept of Design Method is to increasing the loads throughout multiplying them by
factors of safety and decreasing the strength of martials throughout dividing them by
factors of safety.

Material Partial Safety Factors:  m

Characteristic and Designed Load

Design load is a product of characteristic load and partial factor of safety

Designed load (FK) = Characteristic load (FK) x Partial factor (γK)

Characteristic load

The working service load having a probability of being excessed throughout the life of the structre
is termed as Characteristic Load, Working Load or Service Load.

Types of loads

- Dead loads ( Gk )
- Imposed load ( QK)
- Wind load ( WK)
- Earthquake load ( EK )

Load combination for design

Dead and imposed load …………. FK = 1.4 Gk + 1.6 QK


Dead and wind load …………. FK = 1.4 Gk + 1.4 WK
Dead, imposed wind load …………. FK = 1.2 Gk +1.2 QK + 1.4 WK

Types of Beam Section

The most common types of beam sections in structures are the following:

• Rectangular sections with tension steel only,

• Rectangular sections with tension and compression steel, and

• Flanged sections of either T or L shape with tension steel and with or without compression
steel.

Flexural Strength of Sections

The ultimate moment of resistance of a cross-section) is determined assuming the following


conditions as given in Clause 3.4.4.1, BS8110: Part 1.

Main assumption for section analysis

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 9

1- Plane sections remain plane i.e. the strain at any point along a beam cross section is directly
proportional to the distance from neutral axis. The surface of any cross-section does not
distort out-of-plane during deformation.

Fig. 3.1

2- The compressive stresses in the concrete may be derived from the stress-strain curve in
Figure 3.2 with γm = 1.5, i.e. resulting in a rectangular-parabolic stress block.

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 10

Fig. 3.2

Or alternatively
Using the simplified rectangular stress block as indicated in Figure 3.3

Fig. 3.3
The total compressive force in the concrete, Fc, is considered as acting through the centroid of a
reduced depth of stress block which is equal to 90% of the depth of the neutral axis from the
compression face.
The alternative simplified rectangular stress block is normally used in design since it is more
convenient when evaluating the magnitude of the total compressive force in the concrete and the
position of its centroid. This simplification produces results which are very similar to those given
by the rectangular-parabolic stress block.

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 11

3- The tensile strength of the concrete is ignored, i.e. all concrete below the level of the
neutral axis is considered ineffective.

4- The stresses in the reinforcement are derived from the stress-strain curve in Figure 3.4 with
γm = 1.05.

Fig. 3.4

The dimension from the extreme compression face to the centroid of the tensile force is known as
the effective depth of the cross-section and given the symbol d.

From the strain diagram in Figure 3.4:

𝜁 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝜁 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑒
=
( 𝑑 − 𝑥) 𝑥

( 𝑑−𝑥)
∴ 𝜁 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑙 = ( ) 𝜁 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑒
𝑥

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 12

The strain and consequently the stress in the steel are dependent on the depth of the neutral axis x
from the compression face.

When x ≤ d/2 then ζs ≥ ζc (i.e. ≥ 0.0035) and the steel has yielded, the steel stress is given by:

f steel = 0.95fy and the cross-section will fail by yielding of the steel.

The design ultimate moment of resistance will be governed by the capacity of the steel in the
section.

When x ≥ d/2 then ζs ≤ ζc

In this case it is possible for fsteel to be less than 0.95fy and the cross-section can fail by crushing
of the concrete. The critical value of x at which the steel stress becomes less than 0.95fy can be
found as follows:

𝜁 𝑠𝑡𝑒𝑒𝑙 𝜁 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑟𝑒𝑡𝑒
=
( 𝑑 − 𝑥) 𝑥

0.00219 0.0035
=
( 𝑑 − 𝑥) 𝑥

0.00219x = 0.0035d − 0.0035x ∴ x = 0.615d

Since this type of failure occurs without warning and must be avoided, the value of x to the neutral
axis is limited to ≤ 0.5d as indicated in Clause 3.4.4.4 of the code, and hence limits the permitted
design ultimate moment of resistance when based on the concrete strength.

5- The lever arm (i.e. the distance z between the centroids of the total compressive force
and the tensile force) should be ≤ 0.95d

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 13

This effectively defines a lower limit on the depth of concrete which is considered to act in
compression. It limits the maximum strain which can be induced in the reinforcement to a value
of 0.0283 as shown in Figure 5.26, and in addition avoids the reliance on any poor quality concrete
material which may be present at the top of the beam.

where:
h is the overall depth of a section,
b is the breadth of a section,

d is the effective depth from the compression face of the concrete to the centroid of the tension
reinforcement,

d′ is the depth from the compression face of the concrete to the centroid of the compression
reinforcement.

Internal Forces of Singly Reinforced Section

Fc = compressive force = (stress × area)

Ft = tensile force = (stress x area)

Moment Of Resistance Of Singly Reinforced Section

The moment of resistance of singly-reinforced rectangular beams can be determined in terms of:
(a) the concrete capacity, and

(b) the steel capacity,

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 15

(a) Concrete capacity

Fig. 3.7

Consider the moment of the compressive force about the line of action of Ft :
MR concrete = (Fc × z)

Where
Fc = compressive force = (stress × area)

= 0.447fcu × b × 0.9 𝑥
z = lever arm

MR concrete = 0.447fcu × b × 0.9 𝑥 × z

= 0.447fcu × b × 0.9 𝑥 [d − 0.45 𝑥]

(b) Steel capacity


Consider the moment of the tensile force about the line of action of Fc:

MR steel = (Ft× z)
where
Fs = tensile force = (stress x area)

= (0.95fy × As)
and z = lever ram

MR steel = 0.95fyAs z

MR steel = 0.95fyAs [d − 0.45 𝒙]

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 16

Types of Failure And Beam Section Classifications

Returning to the stress strain diagrams for concrete and steel there are three failure situations
depending on the amount of reinforcement provided these as follows:

1- Balanced section:

The concrete fails and steel simultaneously at ultimate load


The amount of steel to give this solution can be determined by equating the internal forces
developed in the section

i.e. C=T
0.45 fcu 0.5bd = 0.95 fyAs

2- Under-reinforced section:

If less steel is provided than in case (1), the steel has reched yield and continues yielding before
concrete fails at ultimate load.

3- Over-reinforced section:

If more steel is provided than in case (1), the concrete fails suddenly without a warring before steel
riches yield.
For singly reinforced beam the code limits the depth of neutral axis to 0.5d to ensure that the design
is for the under-reinforced case.

Ultimate Moment of Resistance of Singly Reinforced Section

Consider the moment of the compressive force about the line of action of Ft :
MUR = (Fc × z)

Where
Fc = compressive force = (stress × area)

= 0.447fcu × b × 0.9 𝒙

z = lever arm

MUR = 0.447fcu × b × 0.9 𝒙 × z

Example (1) ( check for singly reinforced section )

A rectangular beam section 200mm wide and 500mm overall depth is assumed to be a singly-
reinforced in the tension zone only. Using the data given, determine the maximum moment which
can be applied to the section if it is reinforced with:
- 2 bars 14mm Ø
- 6 bars 22mm Ø
Data:
Characteristic strength of concrete (fcu) ………………………….. 25 N/mm2

Characteristic strength of steel (fy) ………………………….. 250 N/mm2


Effective cover (d/) ………………………….. 50mm2

Solution:

- For 2 bars 14mm diameter. As = 2 x π x 72 = 308mm2 , d = 500-50= 450mm


C=T

0.45 fcu b 0.9ϰ = 0.95 fyAs


0.45*25*200*0.9* ϰ = 0.95*250*308

ϰ = 36.12 mm < 0.5d = 0.5*450=225mm …….. Under-reinforced section


Since the section is under-reinforced the maximum moment can be calculated using
compression force or tension force.
Mur = T * Z OR Mur = C * Z , Z < 0.95d
Using Mur = T * Z

Mur = T * Z = 0.95 fy As * ( d – 0.45 ϰ )


Z = ( d – 0.45 ϰ ) = 450 – 0.45 *36.12= 433.75mm , Z = 0.95*450 = 427.5 mm
Z is the lesser value 427.5mm

Mur ={ 0.95 *250*308*427.5} /106 = 31.27 KN.m (Ans.)


Using Mur = C * Z

Mur = C * Z = 0.45 fcu b 0.9ϰ *Z

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 20

Mur = {0.45*25*200*0.9*36.12*427.5} /106 = 31.27 KN.m (Ans.)

- For 6 bars 22mm diameter. As = 2 x π x 112 = 2281mm2 , d = 500-50= 450mm

C=T
0.45 fcu b 0.9ϰ = 0.95 fyAs

0.45*25*200*0.9* ϰ = 0.95*250*2281
ϰ = 267.52 mm > 0.5d = 0.5*450=225mm …….. Over-reinforced section

Since the section is over-reinforced the ultimate moment can be calculated using compression
force only with ϰ = 0.5 d .

Mur = C * Z
Using Mur = C * Z

Mur = C * Z = 0.45 fcu b 0.9ϰ * Z …………….. ϰ = 0.5 d = 225mm


Z = ( d – 0.45 ϰ ) = 450 – 0.45 *225= 348.75mm , Z = 0.95*450 = 427.5 mm
Z is the lesser value 348.75 mm

Mur = {0.45*25*200*0.9*225*348.75}= 158.9 KN.m (Ans.)

Doubly Reinforced Section


When the applied design bending moment exceeds the concrete capacity (i.e. 0.156 bd2fcu)
compression reinforcement is required. Consider the rectangular beam shown in Figure 3.7 in
which the neutral axis depth is equal to d/2 and both tension (As) and compression (As′)
reinforcement are present:

The force in the compression reinforcement is dependent on the stress and consequently the strain
ζcs. In order to ensure that this is greater than or equal to the yield stress, the ratio of (d′ / x) is

Basic span-to-effective depth ratios

The code states that the basic span-to-effective depth ratios given in Table 3.9 for rectangular and
flanged beams are so determined as to limit the total deflection to span/250. This ensures that
deflection occurring after construction is limited to span/350 or 20 mm whichever is the less. The
support conditions have also to be taken into account. The basic span-to-effective depth ratios from
Table 3.9 of the code. The values in the table apply to beams with spans up to 10 m. For longer
span, the values in the table should be multiplied by (10 / span) except for cantilevers where the
design should be justified by calculation.

Tension reinforcement

The deflection is influenced by the amount of tension reinforcement and the value of the stress
at service loads at the center of the span for beams or at the support for cantilevers.

According to clause 3.4.6.5 of the code the basic span-to-effective depth ratio from Table 3.9 of
the code is multiplied by the modification factor from Table 3.10. The modification factor is given
by the formula in the code:

All reinforcement in the compression zone reduces concrete shrinkage and creep and therefore the

T and L Beams (Flanged Beam) ]

When reinforced concrete slabs are cast integrally with the supporting beams they may contribute
to the compressive strength of the beams during flexure. When subject to sagging moments the
resulting beam cross-section is either a T-section or an L-section, as shown in Figure, where the
top surface, i.e. the slab, is in compression.
Both types of beam are referred to as flanged beams. When subjected to hogging moments the top
surface is subject to tension and hence the beams are designed as rectangular sections.

Eng. Ayman Omar Ali B3C/E


REINFORCED CONCRETE FUNDAMENTALS 54

The effective flange width (be) of flanged beams is defined for both cases in Clause 3.4.1.5 of the
code as:
for T-beams: web width + lz/5 or actual flange width if less,
for L-beams: web width +lz/10 or actual flange width if less,

Where lz is the distance between points of zero moment (which, for a continuous beam, may be
taken as 0.7 times the effective span).

Design formulae are given to determine the area of reinforcing steel required, depending on the
position of the neutral axis, i.e. either in the flange or below the flange in the rib. In general the
neutral axis will lie within the flange. The design process is the same as that used for rectangular
beams in which bending, shear and deflection are the main design criteria.

Case 2

If the condition in step 2 is not met then calculate the maximum moment that the section can
withstand without requiring compression reinforcement, that means x =0.5d

Mmax = 0.45 fcu (b−bw) hf (d−hf/2)+ 0.156 fcu bw d2

Compering the design moment M design with M max, If M design ≤ M max, then the required steel area
can be determined to sufficient accuracy from the code formula

M flange < M design ≤ M max

Doubly reinforced flanged beam

If the condition in step 3 is not met thus M design > M max, then the section is doubly reinforcement
and comparison steel is required. Generally, comparison reinforcement is rarely required in the
case of flanged beams.
