If Table 3.5 cannot be used, three cases of loading should be analyzed to determine the
envelope of SFD and BMD.
The critical loading arrangements (clause 3.2.1.2.2) which should be considered are as
follows:
a) All spans loaded with the maximum design ultimate load (1.4 Gk + 1.6 Qk)
Load case I
b) Alternate spans loaded with the maximum design ultimate load (1.4 Gk + 1.6 Qk) and
other spans loaded with the minimum design ultimate load (1.0Gk)
Load case II
3) Design for RC (main reinforcement) to calculate the amount of area required to resist the
bending moment.
Design Procedure (Section Design For Moment):
1. Calculate K = M / fcubd2
2. Check K:
≤ K’ design as singly reinforced section (K’ = 0.156)
(Since k < 0.156, compression reinforcement is not required)
Choosing Reinforcement:
Select the number & diameter of bars to provide an area not less than, and as close as
practicable to, the calculated values of As and As’.
Design Procedure:
Choosing Reinforcement:
T or R bars may be used. Usual bar sizes are 8, 10, 12φ. Link spacing, sv, should be a
multiple of 25 mm. Use the same bar size in a beam, just alter the spacing to
accommodate differing strength requirements. Links can be provided across the full
width of the beam, they do not have to be concentrated in the perimeter.
Minimum area of shear links to be provided anywhere in a beam: Asv = 0.4bvsv / 0.95fy.
Spacing of links ≤ 0.75d. Spacing of links should not be less than 100 mm, or 75 mm in
exceptional circumstances for poker access to the concrete.
5) Check cracking, deflection and provide detail following the design result.
