R.C. Beam Deflection Analysis ACI Code

The document discusses serviceability requirements for reinforced concrete beams based on several examples. It addresses calculating deflections due to dead and live loads and determining whether beams satisfy code requirements. It also examines determining if reinforcement satisfies code crack width requirements for given cross sections and material properties. Solutions are sought for immediate and long-term deflections, midspan deflections due to partial and total loads, and reinforcement for controlling crack width.

Serviceability

5.4 Problem
5.1 The floor beam in Fig. below supports
nonstructural elements not likely to be
damaged by large deflections. If the service
dead load equals 21 kN/m and the service live
load equals 12 kN/m, does the beam satisfy ACI
Code requirements for allowable deflections? 𝑓
= 25 MPa, fy= 400 MPa.

5.2 For the beam in Fig. (a) Compute the immediate deflection produced by total load,
and (b) estimate the additional long-term deflection if the live load acts continuously. 𝑓
= 28 MPa, fy= 400 MPa.

5.3 Dead weight of the beam in [Link] 5.7 kN/m


Compute (a) the midspan deflection due to
dead load before service live load( P) acts and
(b) the midspan deflection due to total load. 𝑓
= 21 MPa, fy= 400 MPa.

5.4 For each of the cross sections in Fig. determine if the reinforcement satisfies the
requirements of ACI Code for controlling crack width. Exterior exposure, 𝑓 = 30 MPa,
fy= 400 MPa.
