Introduction
In this section, it is assumed that a small transverse load is placed on a concrete beam with tensile reinforcing and that
the load is gradually increased in magnitude until the beam fails. As this takes place, the beam will go through three
distinct stages before collapse occurs. These are:
At small loads when the tensile stresses are less than the modulus of rupture (the bending tensile stress at which the
concrete begins to crack), the entire cross section of the beam resists bending, with compression on one side and
tension on the other. Figure 2.1 shows the variation of stresses and strains for these small loads; a numerical example of
this type is presented in Section 2.2.
As the load is increased after the modulus of rupture of the concrete is exceeded, cracks begin to develop in the bottom
of the beam. The moment at which these cracks begin to form—that is, when the tensile stress in the bottom of the
beam equals the modulus of rupture—is referred to as the cracking moment, Mcr. As the load is further increased, these
cracks quickly spread up to the vicinity of the neutral axis, and then the neutral axis begins to move upward. The cracks
occur at those places along the beam where the actual moment is greater than the cracking moment, as shown in Figure
2.2(a). Now that the bottom has cracked, another stage is present because the concrete in the cracked zone obviously
cannot resist tensile stresses—the steel must do it. This stage will continue as long as the compression stress in the top
fibers is less than about one-half of the concrete’s compression strength, fc’, and as long as the steel stress is less than
its yield stress. The stresses and strains for this range are shown in Figure 2.2(b). In this stage, the compressive stresses
vary linearly with the distance from the neutral axis or as a straight line.
The straight-line stress–strain variation normally occurs in reinforced concrete beams under normal service-load
conditions because at those loads, the stresses are generally less than 0.50fc’. To compute the concrete and steel
stresses in this range, the transformed-area method (to be presented in Section 2.3) is used. The service or working
loads are the loads that are assumed to actually occur when a structure is in use or service. Under these loads, moments
develop that are considerably larger than the cracking moments. Obviously, the tensile side of the beam will be cracked.
You will learn to estimate crack widths and methods of limiting their widths in Chapter 6.
Beam Failure – Ultimate – Strength Stage
As the load is increased further so that the compressive stresses are greater than 0.50fc’, the tensile cracks move farther
upward, as does the neutral axis, and the concrete compression stresses begin to change appreciably from a straight line.
For this initial discussion, it is assumed that the reinforcing bars have yielded. The stress variation is much like that
shown in Figure 2.3. You should relate the information shown in this figure to that given in Figure 1.1 in Chapter 1 as to
the changing ratio of stress to strain at different stress levels.
To further illustrate the three stages of beam behavior that have just been described, a moment–curvature diagram is
shown in Figure 2.4.1 For this diagram, θ is defined as the angle change of the beam section over a certain length and is
computed by the following expression in which 𝜖 is the strain in a beam fiber at some distance, y, from the neutral axis
of the beam:
𝜖
𝜃=
𝑦
The first stage of the diagram is for small moments less than the cracking moment, Mcr, where the entire beam cross
section is available to resist bending. In this range, the strains are small, and the diagram is nearly vertical and very close
to a straight line. When the moment is increased beyond the cracking moment, the slope of the curve will decrease a
little because the beam is not quite as stiff as it was in the initial stage before the concrete cracked. The diagram will
follow almost a straight line from Mcr to the point where the reinforcing is stressed to its yield point. Until the steel
yields, a fairly large additional load is required to appreciably increase the beam’s deflection.
After the steel yields, the beam has very little additional moment capacity, and only a small additional load is required to
substantially increase rotations as well as deflections. The slope of the diagram is now very flat.
Cracking Moment
The area of reinforcing as a percentage of the total cross-sectional area of a beam is quite small (usually 2% or less), and
its effect on the beam properties is almost negligible as long as the beam is uncracked. Therefore, an approximate
calculation of the bending stresses in such a beam can be obtained based on the gross properties of the beam’s cross
section. The stress in the concrete at any point a distance y from the neutral axis of the cross section can be determined
from the following flexure formula in which M is the bending moment equal to or less than the cracking moment of the
section and Ig is the gross moment of inertia of the cross section:
𝑀𝑦
𝑓=
𝐼𝑔
Section 9.5.2.3 of the ACI Code states that the cracking moment of a section may be determined with ACI Equation 9-9,
in which fr is the modulus of rupture of the concrete and yt is the distance from the centroidal axis of the section to its
extreme fiber in tension. In this section, with its equation 9-10, the code states that fr may be taken equal:
The “lambda” term is 1.0 for normal-weight concrete and is less than 1.0 for lightweight concrete, as described in
Section 1.12. The cracking moment is as follows:

When the bending moment is sufficiently large to cause the tensile stress in the extreme fibers to be greater than the
modulus of rupture, it is assumed that all of the concrete on the tensile side of the beam is cracked and must be
neglected in the flexure calculations.
The cracking moment of a beam is normally quite small compared to the service load moment. Thus, when the service
loads are applied, the bottom of the beam cracks. The cracking of the beam does not necessarily mean that the beam is
going to fail. The reinforcing bars on the tensile side begin to pick up the tension caused by the applied moment.
On the tensile side of the beam, an assumption of perfect bond is made between the reinforcing bars and the concrete.
Thus, the strain in the concrete and in the steel will be equal at equal distances from the neutral axis. If the strains in the
two materials at a particular point are the same, however, their stresses cannot be the same since they have different
moduli of elasticity. Thus, their stresses are in proportion to the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. The ratio of the steel
modulus to the concrete modulus is called the modular ratio, n:
𝐸𝑠
𝑛=
𝐸𝑐
If the modular ratio for a particular beam is 10, the stress in the steel will be 10 times the stress in the concrete at the
same distance from the neutral axis. Another way of saying this is that when n = 10, 1 in. 2 of steel will carry the same
total force as 10 in.2 of concrete.
For the beam of Figure 2.6, the steel bars are replaced with an equivalent area of fictitious concrete (nAs), which
supposedly can resist tension. This area is referred to as the transformed area. The resulting revised cross section or
transformed section is handled by the usual methods for elastic homogeneous beams. Also shown in the figure is a
diagram showing the stress variation in the beam. On the tensile side, a dashed line is shown because the diagram is
discontinuous. There, the concrete is assumed to be cracked and unable to resist tension. The value shown opposite the
steel is the fictitious stress in the concrete if it could carry tension. This value is shown as fs/n because it must be
multiplied by n to give the steel stress fs.

Concrete is stable up to about 0.30fc’. The material behaves in elastic manner. No cracks in tension zone.
