 Design of Beam for
Flexure
What is Design?

Design Means to arrive at suitable dimensions and

Reinforcement for given external loads, Material
Properties and Skeletal dimensions of beams to satisfy
safety and Serviceability.
Design Problems have
no unique solution.
 Requirements of flexural Reinforcement

Cover

Cover is provided for protection against

Environmental Agencies like moisture
and their effects like sulphate-attack
and Corrosion of concrete and Fire.

Clear Cover Nominal Cover

 Clear Cover is distance from
exposed surface to reinforcing
bar without plaster and finish.

Cl. 26.4.1 gives Nominal Cover

which means distance of exposed
surface to reinforcement links.

Minimum Area of Flexural
Reinforcement
• To control cracking in concrete due to shrinkage and temperature
variations.
• As per cl. 26.5.1.1 minimum area of tension reinforcement is
 Maximum Flexural Reinforcement in beams
To avoid Congestion which affects placement of concrete and compaction of concrete.

If minimum limits Increase the beam size

are not possible to typically width b
meet then for
satisfying the limits Improve the grade of
concrete and steel

According to CL 26.5.1 area of tension and compression

reinforcement is limited to 0.04bD individually.

Combine 8% of area of concrete.
