 Design of KERB BEAM

Kerb is Designed for a live load of 4 kN/m2

Minimum Height of Kerb is 225 mm above road level
Total depth of Kerb= 700 mm
Live load/m run of the kerb= 1.4 kN/m
Dead load of the Kerb= 6.13 kN/m
Weight of Parapet Wall= 2.06 kN/m
Total Dead load/m run of Kerb be 9.5875 kN/m
Dead load Bending Moment= 34.17 kN-m

Live bending moment generated in the kerb is normally taken 50% of

the live load bending moment for the slab
Live Load Bending Moment generated in the kerb#VALUE! kN-m
Design bending moment for Kerb Beam= ### kN-m

Hence Effective Depth Required= #VALUE! mm

Total Depth Provided= 700 mm
