How do you calculate beam design?

Example 1: Design of a simply supported reinforced concrete beam

  1. Design for longitudinal bars: Calculate factored moment: Weight of beam: WB = 150 lb/ft x 1.33 ft x 2 ft = 400 lb/ft.
  2. Design for shear bars (stirrups): Calculate factored shear: Clear distance between support, Ln = 19 ft.

How do you create a simply supported beam?

Design Steps Of Simply Supported Steel Beam

  1. Calculate the loads to be carried by the beam.
  2. Calculate the maximum bending moment (M) with regard to the nature of loading condition and span.
  3. Calculate the section modulus (Z) of the required section of the beam by the formula:

What is K in beam design?

Design for Bending for Rectangular Sections (Beams: BS 8110)

K =
Where
As’ = area of compression reinforcement
d’ = depth to the c of g of compression reinforcement
f’s = compression stress in steel

What is the minimum depth of beam?

according to as per IS code 456 minimum depth of simply supported beam is about L/20 and minimum width of beam is about depth/1.5. according to ACI (American concrete Institute )code 318—14 minimum depth of beam is depend on length of beam if length of beam is about 20 feet then minimum depth of beam should be 20 inch.

How do you design a beam?

RCC Beam Design Steps

  1. Design steps for RCC beam are as follows:
  2. Step 1: In the first step, calculate the intensity of the load which is expected to act on the beam.
  3. Step 2: In the next step, find out the effective span of the beam.
  4. Step 3: In this step, find out the trial dimensions of the beam.

How many types of RCC beams are there?

R.C.C, beams are of following three types: Singly Reinforced Beams. Doubly Reinforced Beams. Flanged Beams (T beams and L beams)

What is a simply supported beam?

A simply supported beam is one that rests on two supports and is free to move horizontally. Typical practical applications of simply supported beams with point loadings include bridges, beams in buildings, and beds of machine tools.

What is a shear link?

Shear links are provided to carry the shear forces induced by the applied loads on structural elements. They are the bending moment and shear forces. Shear force is the force that transfers the applied load to the support. As discussed above, shear link reinforcement is inevitable in the beam.

What is the maximum depth of a beam?

The depth of beam can also be estimated based on span/depth ratio. IS 456 2000 provides span to depth ratio to control deflection of beam as provided in Table 2….Beam depth (h)

Beam span Beam type Span/depth ratio
Up to 10m Continuous 26
Greater than 10m Simply supported 20*10/span
Cantilever
Continuous 26*10/span

What is effective depth of beam?

Effective depth of the beam and slab is the distance between extreme compressive concrete fibre to the centroid of tension reinforcement in section under flexural condition. And in another words it is described as distance from the centroid of tension Steel to theoutermost face of compression fibre.

What do you need to know about PROKON beams and slabs?

Prokon’s Continuous Beam and Slab Design module allows you to easily design single spans (simply supported, fixed or cantilever) and multi- span reinforced concrete beams and slabs. Spans can be supported with simple supports, columns below or above, and cantilever ends.

What is the sub frame option in Prokon?

The Sub-frame option exports a Sumo object called a Sub-frame strip to Continuous Beam. The Sub-frame takes the geometry and loading from Sumo and loads it into Continuous Beam. Notice that Continuous Beam does the analysis when this link is used. This is especially useful when doing a flat slab design.

What are the features of PROKON Structural analysis?

Frame models can also be exported to and imported from Au- todesk Revit Structure using Prodesk. Key features: • Beam, shell and solid finite elements. • Linear, second-order, non-linear and buckling analysis. • Modal, harmonic and seismic analysis. • Reinforced concrete design.

What’s the difference between sumo and PROKON software?

PROKON software downloads and version history. Support articles to help users. What is the difference between the Beam Detailing and Sub-frame design links in Sumo? Sumo’s design links provide two options that export beams to Continuous Beam for design. Let us look at both and compare the options.
