Design of Singly Reinforced Rectangular Beams: F' F M Assume BD in

The document provides instructions for designing a singly reinforced rectangular beam. It includes input values for material properties like concrete compressive strength (f'c) and steel yield strength (fy). It then calculates the required steel area (As) through an iterative process where the beam depth (d) and width (b) are selected and As is adjusted until equilibrium is reached. Sample calculations are shown for both US customary and metric units. The optimal As is reported along with checking that design requirements are satisfied.
