Simply Supported Beam Designed According To BS8100
A simply supported beam with 8m span is required to sustain characteristic dead
load of 20kN/m and imposed live load of 10 kN/m on the whole span.
Construction material consists of grade C30 ( = 30 N/mm2) and high
strength steel ( = 460 N/mm2) and mild steel for link ( = 250 N/mm2).
Exposure condition for the beam is mild and 1.5 hours for fire resistance.

Reference: Calculation Remarks
BS8110: Part1: 1. Durability and fire resistance
1997:Table 3.3
- Mild condition and grade of concrete C30 ,
nominal cover =25 mm
- 1.5hours fire resistance , nominal
cover= 20 mm
C= 25 mm
2. Beam size
Assuming Bar = 16 mm
Link = 6 mm Bar = 16 mm
Link = 6 mm
Calculate the effective depth, d
Take h as 600 mm
h = 600 mm
b = 125 mm
3. Loading
a) Dead load
- S/W of beam =
- Dead load = 5 kN/m
Total dead load = 1.8+5= 6.8 kN/m
DL = 22.4 kN/m
b) Live load
Imposed live load = 10 kN/m
LL = 10 kN/m
Ultimate load, = 1.4x22.4 + 1.6x10
= 47.36 kN/m
= 47.36 kN/m
