2 INTRODUCTION
In the previous chapter, the behavior of reinforced concrete beams was
explained, and procedures given for the analysis of sections.
This chapter will discuss a complete design methods of a beam involves
considerations of safety under the ultimate limit states in flexure, shear,
torsion and bond, as well as considerations of the serviceability limit
states of deflection, crack-width, durability etc.
3 LOAD FACTOR
Load factors are numbers, almost always larger than 1.0, that are used to
increase the estimated loads applied to structures. The required strength, U, or
the load-carrying ability of a particular reinforced concrete member, must at
least equal the largest value obtained by substituting into ACI Equations 9-1 to
9-7.
U = 1.4D (ACI Equation 9-1)
U = 1.2D + 1.6L + 0.5(Lr or S or R) (ACI Equation 9-2)
U = 1.2D + 1.6(Lr or S or R) + (L or 0.5W) (ACI Equation 9-3)
U = 1.2D + 1.0W + L + 0.5(Lr or S or R) (ACI Equation 9-4)
U = 1.2D + 1.0E + L + 0.2S (ACI Equation 9-5)
U = 0.9D + 1.0W (ACI Equation 9-6)
U = 0.9D + 1.0E (ACI Equation 9-7)
4 DESIGN OD RECTANGULAR BEAMS
Before the design of an actual beam is attempted, several miscellaneous
topics need to be discussed :
1) Beam proportions, ratio d to b, in 1 1/2 to 2
2) Deflection, from best practice h l/10 to l/14 this value is higher than SNI.
3) Estimated beam weight. The weight of the beam to be selected must be
included in the calculation of the bending moment to be resisted.
Reinforced concrete weigth is 240 kN/m3 .
4) Selection of bars. After the required reinforcing area is calculated.
5) Cover. Use SNI 7.7 for requirements.
