1. Compute the trial unfactored

To compute positive moment in center span B4. Span BC should
be loaded.

1. Compute the trial unfactored
loads on the beam.
Summary of unfactored reduced live load.
So far, the beam fits all these except (d), which we will check later
2. Select Method of analysis of Beam
and Values of the Strength-Reduction
factor.
ACI Code Section 8.3.3
Same as in Section 408.4.3 for NSCP 2010
and Section 406.5.2 for NSCP 2015
Tributary width
2.85
kip/ft
Total factored from the slab.
4. Chose the actual size of the
beam stem
The following are approximate method in determining T-beam stem size
wu of stem = 12% to 20% total factored load
h = 1/18 to 1/12 of larger span (overall depth)
bw = h/2
The gives as :
wu = 0.34 to 0.57 total factored load
h = 22in. to 33in. for 33ft
bw = 11in. to 22in.
4. Chose the actual size of the
beam stem
The size of stem is governing by three factor
deflection
Moment capacity at the point of maximum negative moment
Shear capacity
4. Chose the actual size of the
beam stem (deflection)
33
ft
4. Chose the actual size of the beam
Moment capacity at the point of maximum negative moment
stem
ACI Code Section 8.3.3
Ln for negative moment is defined as the
average of the two adjacent spans.
4. Chose the actual size of the
beam stem (shear capacity)
Try a 12-in. wide-by-24 in. deep extending 18in. Below the slab stem, with d
= 21.5in.(24-2.5 concrete cover) > (d = 21.4in. In deflection limit)
bf = L/4
bf = bw + 16t
bf = bw + S1 + S2
6. Compute the beam moment.
The moment can be computed by using frame
analysis. However, in step 2 it was shown that we
could used the ACI moment coefficients from ACI
Code 8.3.3 if the unfactored live load was less
that three times the unfactored dead load.
7. Design the flexural
reinforcement.
8. Design the shear reinforcement.
