Preliminary Design of RCC Beam Element: A) Ground Floor

The document provides a preliminary design of an RCC beam element for a ground floor. It summarizes the design process in two steps: 1) By deflection control criteria, calculating the minimum required effective depth of 150mm and overall beam depth of 200mm, with a width of 150mm. 2) By moment criteria, calculating a required effective depth of 467mm, overall depth of 500mm, and beam size of 500mm x 350mm.

Preliminary Design of RCC Beam Element

A) GROUND FLOOR
From the architectural plan of the proposed building, the maximum span length of the
beam is 5.0m c/c.
Maximum span 6.324m c/c is taken. Preliminary Design can be done either by
1) Deflection Control Criteria
2) By Moment Criteria

1. Design by deflection control criteria


The methodical steps in designing the beam element preliminarily with respect to IS
456:2000, IS 1893, IS13920, IS 4326 are same as the slab element.
From Clause 23.2IS 456:2000 we can draw out the following methodical steps to get
minimum depth of beam;

span (l)
≤
effectivedepth(d )

Where,

Span (l)= 5.0 m= 5000mm (i.e. the largest available span length from the floor plan.)

= 26 (for continuous beam) (Ref. IS 456: 2000 Cl. 23.2.1)

 span factor =1 for largest span less than 10m (Ref. IS 456: 2000 Cl. 23.2.1)

Assuming 1.4 % tension reinforcement and fs = 120 N/mm2

From Fig. 4, (Page 38) IS 456: 2000

= 1.4
Assume 0 % compression reinforcement (Fig. 5, (Page 39) IS 456: 2000)

= 1 (Ref. IS 456: 2000 Cl. 23.2.1 d)

= 1 for slab being rectangular section without flange (Ref. IS 456: 2000 Cl. 23.2.1 e)

5000
deff = = 137.36 mm ≈ 150 mm
26∗1∗1.4∗1∗1
Thus the effective depth is 150 mm

A minimum clear cover of 25mm is taken for main bar of diameter 16 mm, then we get
the overall depth of beam as:

Overall Depth of Beam (D) = Effective Depth + 0.5x Dia. of main bar + Clear Cover

=150 + 0.5 X 16 + 25

=183 mm

Therefore take D = 200 mm

D
= (1.5 to 2)
b

D
= 1.5
b

200
Therefore b = = 133.33 mm
1.5

D = 200 mm

b = 150 mm

2. Determination of depth of beam by moment criteria


Area of Influence = 12.00m2

Load Calculations:

Dead Load of Slab = 25*0.15*12 = 45 KN

Dead Load of Beam = 25*0.2*0.15*5 = 3.75 KN

Live Load (LL) = 4 KN/m2

Floor Finish (FF) = 1 KN/m2

LL + FP on influence area= 5*12= 60 KN

Wall Load = 19*0.65*5*0.23*3.1 = 44.03 KN

Total Load = Sum of above loads = 152.78 KN


Factored Load= 1.5* Total Load

= 1.5* 152.78

= 229.17 KN

229.17
WU = = 45.834 KN/m
5.0

wl∗l 45.834∗5∗5
Max Moment (Mu) = = = 95.49 KN-m
12 12

Moment of Resistance (Mu) =0.133 fck*b*d2

130.69∗106
d=
√ 0.138∗20∗200

Thus deff = 437.56 mm ≈ 467 mm

Overall Depth of Slab (D) = Effective Depth + 0.5x Dia. of main bar + Clear Cover

∅
= deff + + clear cover
2

= 467 + 0.5 X 16 + 25 ( is taken 16 mm)

D = 500 mm

Size of Beam = (500 X 350) mm2
