Cross-Sectional analysis of reinforced concrete beam section for flexure


Example 1 of 2
Prepared by: Concrete materials and structures chair

Example 2.9: An interior T beam in a floor system has a center to center span of 5.5 m
and cross section shown in the figure. The concrete and steel grades are C20/25 and
S400 respectively. Compute the design resistance capacity of this beam in the positive
moment region. (Cover to stirrup = 25 mm and stirrup of diameter 8 c/c 200 was provided)

Step 1: Design Values ( Changing the characteristic value to design value)

d  500  (25  8  10)  457 mm

Step 2: Determine the effective flange width of the beam EN 1992 -1-1-
2004 section
5.3.2.1

The effective flange width beff for a T beam or L beam may be derived as:
beff   beff ,i  bw  b
where
beff ,i  0.2bi  0.1l0  0.2l0
and
beff ,i  bi
2.7 3.25
For the given beam, b1   1.35m and b2   1.625m
2 2

Since the beam is an interior beam and the design moment resistance is required
to be estimated for the positive moment region,
l0  0.7l 2  0.7 * 5.5  3.85m

Thus,
beff ,1  0.2b1  0.1l0  0.2 *1.35  0.1* 3.85  0.655m

beff ,2  0.2b2  0.1l0  0.2 *1.625  0.1* 3.85  0.71m

beff  b1  b2  bw  0.655  0.71 0.3  1.665m

Step 3: Assume the neutral axis to be in the flange

Step 6: Take the neutral axis to be below the flange and divide the section into two parts:
Beam W and Beam F to simplify the analysis process.

Step 7: Take the rectangular stress strain relationship for the concrete under compression
and calculate the moment resistance using force equilibrium.
