ACI 318-11 Example 001 PDF

This document describes an example problem that verifies the shear and flexural reinforcement design capabilities of ETABS software. A simply supported beam is designed according to ACI 318-11 code. ETABS computes the flexural and shear reinforcement, which is then compared to independent hand calculations. The results show an exact match between ETABS and the independent calculations for moment, tension reinforcement, shear force, and shear reinforcement. This verifies that ETABS correctly designs for flexure and shear according to the ACI 318-11 code.

SHEAR AND FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT DESIGN OF A SINGLY REINFORCED RECTANGLE
EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
The flexural and shear design of a rectangular concrete beam is calculated in this
example.
A simply supported beam is subjected to an ultimate uniform load of 9.736 k/ft.
This example is tested using the ACI 318-11 concrete design code. The flexural
and shear reinforcing computed is compared with independent hand calculated
results.

Shear Design
The following quantities are computed for all of the load combinations:

0.75
f c :

Check the limit of

f c = 63.246 psi < 100 psi

The concrete shear capacity is given by:


Vc =

f c bd

= 12.807 k

The maximum shear that can be carried by reinforcement is given by:


Vs =

f c bd = 51.229 k

The following limits are required in the determination of the reinforcement:


( Vc/2)

= 6.4035 k

( Vc + 50 bd)

= 11.466 k

Vmax = Vc + Vs = 64.036 k
Given Vu, Vc and Vmax, the required shear reinforcement in area/unit length for
any load combination is calculated as follows:
If Vu (Vc/2),
Av
= 0,
s

else if (Vc/2) < Vu Vmax
