Fig: RCC Beam Reinforcement Details

This document provides details for reinforcing a 4m long concrete beam that is 300mm wide and 450mm deep. It contains calculations to determine the lengths of reinforcement bars based on the beam's dimensions and reinforcement configuration. The bottom bars are 4580mm and 4520mm long. The top bars are 4380mm long. The stirrups spaced at 180mm are 1330mm long, and 24 stirrups are required. A bar bending schedule is also provided.

onsider a beam of clear length of 4m, 300mm wide by 450mm depth. It consists of 2-12 diameter
bars at top, and 2-16 diameter and 1 12 diameter bars at the bottom. Diameter of stirrup is 8mm
spaced at 180mm center to center. Clear cover to reinforcement provided is 40mm.

Now we will calculate the length of reinforcement based on shapes of reinforcement required for
reinforced concrete beam in above example.

We will start with bottom reinforcement, B1.


Bar shape of B1 is as shown below:

Length of B1 = clear distance between walls + 2 x width of walls 2 x bar cover + 2 x bend
length
Bend length = 6 x 16 = 96 consider as 100mm
Bend length is calculated as 6 x diameter of bar for reinforcement conforming to IS: 1786-1961
Length of B1 = 4000 + 2 x 230 2 x 40 + 2 x100 = 4580mm
Length of bar B2 is calculated based on shape of this bar. This bar bends up near the support as
shown below:

Length of bar B2: A + B + C = 4000 + 2 x 230 2 x 40 + (1.414xH H)


H = 450 2 x 40 2 x 12 2 x 12/2 = 334mm
B2 = 4000 + 2 x 230 2 x 40 + (1.414334 334) = 4518.3 = 4520mm
Length of Bar T1 = 4000 + 2 x 230 -2 x 40 = 4380mm
Length of Stirrups S1:

Stirrups are spaced at 180mm center to center. Stirrups are provided between walls or support for
a beam.

No. of stirrups required for given beam =


Length a = 450 2 x40 8 = 362mm
Length b = 300 2 x 40 8 = 212mm
Therefore length of 1 stirrup S1 = 2 x (212 + 362 + 90) = 1328 mm
Where 90mm is the minimum hook length as per IS 2502 Table II.
