EC2 Beam Section Design

This document provides details of the design calculations for a reinforced concrete beam with a rectangular cross-section. Key details include: - The beam has a width of 300mm and depth of 500mm with C40/50 concrete. - Two 25mm diameter tension reinforcement bars are provided, which do not meet the minimum area requirement. - Shear reinforcement of 2 x 8mm bars at 300mm centres is provided, meeting code requirements. - Crack control and serviceability checks are also performed and pass requirements. - The beam design fails to meet flexural requirements due to insufficient tension reinforcement area.
