=300.148
SLNA 0.004Ac = .004*(500*300) = 600 mm2
As,min= 600 mm2

Asc = 600 mm2

Design of Beam B3 for Flexure
Reference Calculations Output
Design for hogging moment
cnom = 25 + 10 = 35 mm
Assuming a link diameter of 10 mm and a
reinforcement size of 25 mm, the effective depth will
be
D = 500 – 35 – 10 – 25/2 = 442.5
The beam behaves as a rectangular beam
b=225 mm , d=442.5 mm, M= 175 kNm
Eq A.5 K = M/bd2fyk
= (175 * 106) / {(225)(442.5)2(25)}
= 0.1588 < 0.167 ; hence slightly reinforced
Eq A.6 z = d[0.5+(0.25-k/1.134)0.5]
= 442.5(0.5 + (0.25-0.1588/1.134)0.5]
= 367.987 < (0.95)(442.5) =420.375
So take z as 367987
Eq A.9 As = M/0.87*fykz Use 2T25 & 1T16
= (175 * 106)/(0.87 * 460 *367.987) (1182.80 mm2)
= 1188.3065
Use 2T25 & 1T16
(1182.80 mm2)
Design for sagging
The beam behaves as a flanged T beam
M=185.315 kNm
beff = Σ beff + bw ≤ b
beff,i = 0.2 bi + 0.1 l0 ≤ 0.2 l0
on both sides slab span length is equal
beff,1 = beff,2
b1 =(3 -.225) / 2 = 1.3875m
lo=0.85* 6 = 5.1 m
b2 = (6-2.25)/2 =2.8875
beff,1 = (0.2*1.3875) + (0.1 * 5.1) = 0.7875 m
0.2lo = 1.02 m
beff,1 < b1, 0.2lo
so beff,1 = 0.7875 m
beff,2 = (0.2 * 2.8875) + (0.1 * 5.1) = 1.0875
beff = Σ beff + bw
= (1.02 + 0.7875)+ 0.225
= 2.0325 m4
Assume that the neutral axis is within the flange
K = M/bd2fck
= (185.315 * 106) / {(2032.5)(442.5)2(25)}
= 0.0186 < 0.167 ; hence slightly reinforced
z = d[0.5+(0.25-k/1.134)0.5]
= 442.5(0.5 + (0.25-0.0186/1.134)0.5]
= 435.1189 > (0.95)(442.5) =420.375
So take z as 420.375
x = (d-z)/0.4
x = (442.5-420.375)/0.4
= (55.3125)
0.8x = 44.25
Slab thickness is taken as 150 mm,hence, neutral axis is
in fact within the flange, and the beam can be designed
as a rectangular beam with b = 2.0325 m
As = M/0.87*fykz As,req= 1101.53071
= (185.315* 106)/(0.87 * 460 *420.375) mm2
= 1101.53071
Use 2T25 & 1T16 (As=1182.80 mm2) Use 2T25 & 1T16

Eq 6.6 N fcd = .567 fck
6.2.3 (1) Z=0.9d
6.2.3 (3) αcw = 1 for non prestressed members
Assume θ = 220 for non uniformly

VRD,max = 238.29 > 161.5705

6.2.2(1) VRd,c = [cRd,ck(100ρ1fck)1/3 + k1σcp]bwd
Eq 6.2.a
With a minimum of
Eq 6.2.b VRd,c = (vmin + k1σcp)bwd
σcp = NEd / Ac = 0
k = 1 + (200/d)^(.5)
d = 442.5
k = 1.672 ≤ 2.0
ρ1 = Asl/ bwd = 1182.80/225*442.5
= 0.01188 ≤ 0.02
cRd,c = 0.18/ϒc = 0.18/ 1.5 = 0.12
k1 = 0.15
VRd,c = 24.449
Eq 6.3N Vmin = 0.035 * k 3/2 fck1/2 = 0.3783 N/mm2
(Vmin + k1σcp) bwd = 37.669
VEd = 151.5546
So shear reinforcement is necessary
Eq 6.8 VRd,s = VEd = (Asw/s)*zfywdCotϴ
Asw/s = 0.3842
It is assumed that links are of T8
diameter bars with two upright arms
(100.531 mm2)
100.531/s ≥ 0.3842 Links
s≤ 261.6631 T8 at 250 mm spacing
So provide T8 at 250 mm spacing
9.2.2(6) Maximum longitudinal spacing between
links
S1,max =0.75 (1+ cotα)
α = 900 (vertical shear links provided)
S1,max = 331.875 ≥ 250
Eq 9.4 ρw = Asw / (s.bw.sinα)
= 0.001708
Eq 9.5N ρw = (0.08*fck0.5)/fyk = 0.0009 < ρw ; hence
OK

kN
Required area for the base = 91602.0199/250 =
6.408
Try a base of 2.6 * 2.6 *0.5
Weight of the base = (2.6)2(0.5)*25 = 84.5 kN
Actual total load = 1567.85 kN
Bearing pressure = (1567.85)/(2.6)2
= 231.931 kN < 250 hence ok
Priliminary check on effective depth
d> 10 N0.5 = 10 * (1819.113)0.5 = 426.51 mm
Hence overall depth 500 is OK Foot size = 2.6*2.6

Design for bending M=462.6495
Ultimate bending pressure = (1819.113)/(2.62)
= 269.0996 kN/m2
Critical bending moment (at the face of the column)
= (269.0996)(2.6){(2.6- 0.3)/2)2(1/2) =
462.6495
Assume a cover of 40 mm (XC 4 condition) If the bar
size of 16 mm is assumed
dmin = 500 - 40 – 16 -16/2 = 436 mm
davr = 444 mm
Appendix A.2 K/ = Mbal/ bd2fck = 0.
K = M/ bd2fck
= (462.6495* 106)/(2600 * 4362 * 25)
= 0.0374426 < 0.167 ; hence singly reinforced
Eq A.6 z = d[0.5 + (0.25 – K/1.134)0.5
= 436*[0.5 + (0.25 – 0.03744/1.134)0.5
= 421.09558
z = 436*0.95=414.2 ≤ 421.09558
So take z as 414.2
Eq A.9 As = M/(0.87fykz)
= 462.6495/(0.87*460*414.2)
= 2791.032658
