L-Beam Design and Reinforcement Guide

This document provides the design details of an L-beam. Key details include: - The beam has dimensions of 230mm x 400mm for the stem and rib. - Reinforcement details are calculated to resist bending moments of 55kNm and 67.99kNm at the support and center sections. - Shear reinforcement of 8mm diameter stirrups spaced at 159mm is required to resist the calculated shear force of 215kN.

Total ultimate shear force = (0.5 x 63.6) = 31.8 kN

Using 8mm diameter two-legged stirrups with side covers of 25mm and top and
bottom covers of 40mm, we have b1 = 180mm and d1 = 320mm, Asv =
100.53mm2
The Spacing Sv is computed using the equations specified in clause 41.1.3 of IS
456:2000 code.
