Example 01

Design of The Beam with Compression Reinforcement (ACI 318M-02)

Marking

B 01

1. Input Data
Beam width

bw =

600 mm

Beam depth

h=

450 mm

d=
dt =

360 mm

d' =
fy =
fc' =
=
Positive Moment(Sagging) Mu(pos) =

395 mm
65 mm
390 N/mm2
28 N/mm2
0.9
440 kN-m

2. Select the reinforcement

Bottom rebar
Assume j

j=

Required As for Positive Moment

Asreq =

3764 mm2

As =

4200 mm2

a=
a/dt =
Asmin =
Provided As for Positive Moment

Asprov =

0.925

115 mm
< aTCL/dt

0.29
775 mm2

Tension Controlled. Section is large enough.

4200 mm

3. Provide the Compression steel

As' =

0 mm2

4. Recheck the ductiliy

5. Compute Moment Capacity

Positive Moment Capacity

ad =
d'/ad =
ad/dt =

0.57

Mn =

446 kN-m > Mu

115 mm
0.29

> 0.412
Compression steel yield.
< aTCL/dt Tension Controlled. Section is large enough.

OK
