Typical section of Reinforced Concrete
Beam
- Steel on the tension zone are
the main reinforcements
- Steel on the compression zone
is intended to hold the stirrups and
Compression for reversal of stresses
zone - Stirrups are intended for shear
d H
Neutral Axis resistance
- Protective cover is to protect
Tension zone the steel bars and serve for
sufficient bonding
- d=depth of beam
- b=width of beam
b - H=height or thickness of beam
Concrete Cracked-Elastic Stresses Stage
The tensile side of the beam is cracked.
