Roof Beam Design and Reinforcement Guide

This document provides the design method and calculations for the flexural strength of a reinforced concrete roof beam. It determines that the beam should be designed as a singly reinforced beam based on its moment capacity. The beam is determined to have tension-controlled failure and a minimum tension steel ratio of 0.006087 is calculated. The final recommended beam design contains two 16mm diameter tension bars on the top and bottom at both the support and midspan sections.

DETERMINING WHETHER IT IS A SINGLY OR DOUBLY REINFORCED BEAM

800 − 𝑓𝑦
𝜑 = 0.65 + 0.25
1000 − 𝑓𝑦

800 − 230
= 0.65 + 0.25
1000 − 230

𝝋 = 0.835

From Table 422.2.2.4.3,

𝜷𝟏 = 𝟎. 𝟖𝟓

Solving for Mnmax,

51 3
𝜑𝑀𝑛𝑚𝑎𝑥 = 𝜑 𝛽1 𝑓𝑐′ 𝑏 𝑑2 1 − 𝛽1
140 14
51 3
= (0.835) (0.85)(21)(250)(242)2 1 − 0.85
140 14

𝝋𝑴𝒏𝒎𝒂𝒙 = 𝟔𝟓. 𝟎𝟏𝟓 𝒌𝑵. 𝒎

φ Mnmax > Mu = 13.324 kN-m

Therefore, design as Singly Reinforced Beam

DETERMINING THE TYPE OF FAILURE AND STRAIN LIMIT

𝜑𝑀𝑛𝑡 = 𝛽 𝑓 ′ 𝑏 𝑑2 1− 𝛽
1600 1 𝑐 16 1

1600 16

𝝋𝑴𝒏𝒕 = 𝟔𝟑. 𝟎𝟐𝟒 𝒌𝑵. 𝒎

φ Mnt > Mu = 13.324 kN-m

Therefore, Tension - Controlled Section

Thus, φ = 0.90
DETERMINING THE AREA OF TENSION REINFORCEMENT

𝝆 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟎𝟒𝟒𝟗𝟕

ρmin shall be greater of (a) or (b)

(b) 𝜌𝑚𝑖𝑛 = =

𝝆𝒎𝒊𝒏 = 𝟎. 𝟎𝟎6087

Note: If ρmin > ρ, use ρmin


If ρmin < ρ, use ρ

𝜌𝑚𝑖𝑛 = 0.006087 > 𝜌 = 0.004497

Therefore, use ρmin = 0.006087

𝐴𝑠 = 𝜌𝑏𝑑
