Design of RC Stuctures:: Different Members of RCC Structures

Beams are horizontal members that carry transverse loads and transmit them to vertical columns. Beams experience flexural bending which creates compressive and tensile zones. Main reinforcement bars are placed longitudinally in the bottom tensile zone to resist bending, while stirrups are placed transversely to resist shear forces. There are two main types of reinforced concrete beams: singly reinforced beams with reinforcement only on the bottom, and doubly reinforced beams with reinforcement on both the top and bottom.

DESIGN OF RC STUCTURES:

Different Members of RCC Structures

Beams: beams are the most important elements of RC structure. It is a horizontal


member carrying transverse loads and transmits the load to vertical supporting
columns. Due to this loads beam will suffer flexural bending. Thus a compressive
zone will appear on the top and a tensile zone will appear on the bottom of a simply
supported beam. Main bars are provided in the longitudinal direction of the beam to
resist bending and on the other hand stirrups are provided in the transverses
direction to resist shear force. Two type of RC beam are there, 1 st one is singly
reinforced beam (reinforced is provide only on tensile zone) and 2 nd one is doubly
reinforced beam (reinforced is provide on both the tensile zone as well as
compression zone).Generally T-beams are used in interior of the building and L-
beams are use in the exterior of the building.
