There are three types of problems in

singly reinforced beam :

1. To determine the moment of

resistance of the given section.
2. To determine the actual stresses
developed in steel and concrete
under given loading. Three types of problems in singly reinforced beam
working stress method :To determine the moment of
3. To design the section for given
resistance,the stresses developed in concrete and steel
loading.

Type 1:To determine the moment of resistance of the given section

Data Given:

(i) Dimensions, b and d of the section.

(ii) Area of steel reinforcement in tension (Ast )

(iii) Material i.e., grade of concrete and steel.

Procedure:
(i) For the given grade of concrete and steel, determine the permissible stresses i.e.,
1/5
σcbc and σstfrom the Tables 2.1 and 2.2.

(ii) Calculate modular ratio m.

(iii) Determine critical neutral axis (n)

(iv) Determine actual neutral axis (n)

(v) Compare n and nc

(i) If n= nc, the section is balanced and the moment of

resistance can be calculated by any of the following equation

or

(ii) If n< nc, the section is under reinforced and the

moment of resistance is calculated as

(iii) If n> nc, the section is over reinforced and

Note : Sometimes it is required to find out the safe load (w)

which the beam can carry. For this, the maximum bending
moment due to the loads is calculated and equated to the
moment of resistance of the section.

The maximum bending moment values for some beams are

written below:

1. Simply supported beam, for (u.d.l.) =

2. Cantilever beam, for (u.d.l.) =

where l is the effective span of the beam.

under given loading
Given Data :

(i) Dimensions of beam (b and d)

(ii) Area of steel, Ast

(i) Determine the permissible stresses from Tables 2.1 and 2.2.

(ii) Calculate actual neutral axis

(iii) Calculate maximum bending moment (M) due to loads

(external loads as well as self-weight) if not given.

(iv) Calculate stresses by equating the maximum bending

moment to the moment of resistance

(v) Knowing σst from above stepσc or actual stress in concrete

is calculated as

Type-III : To design the section for given loading

Given data :

(i) External loads or bending moment.
