SHEAR AND FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT DESIGN OF A SINGLY REINFORCED RECTANGLE
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The flexural and shear design of a rectangular concrete beam is calculated in this
example.
A simply supported beam is subjected to an ultimate uniform load of 9.736 k/ft.
This example is tested using the ACI 318-08 concrete design code. The flexural
and shear reinforcing computed is compared with independent hand calculated
results.

Shear Design
The following quantities are computed for all of the load combinations:

Check the limit of

f ' :

c
f ' = 63.246 psi < 100 psi
The concrete shear capacity is given by:
Vc = 2
c
f ' bd = 12.807 k
The maximum shear that can be carried by reinforcement is given by:
Vs = 8
c
f ' bd = 51.229 k
The following limits are required in the determination of the reinforcement:
( Vc/2) = 6.4035 k
Vmax = Vc + Vs = 64.036 k
Given Vu, Vc and Vmax, the required shear reinforcement in area/unit length for
any load combination is calculated as follows:
If Vu s (Vc/2),
