Flexural Analysis of Beams Na
2.1 Introduction
In this section, it is assumed that a small transverse load is placed on a concrete beam with
tensile reinforcing and thatthe load is gradually increased in magnitude until the beam fails. As
this takes place, the beam will go through three distinct stages before collapse occurs. These
care: (1) the janeracked Concrete stage, (2) the Concrete eracked=elastic stresses) slage, and (3)
‘the lalliate-strength stage) A relatively long beam is considered for this discussion so that
shear will not have a large effect on its behavior.
Uncracked Concrete Stage
‘At small loads when the tensile suesses are less than the fd’ @f Pp|(the bending
tensile stress at which the concrete begins to crack), the entire cross section ofthe beam resists
‘bending, with compression on one side and tension on the other, Figure 2.1 shows the variation
of stesses and strains for these small loads; a numerical example of this type is presented in
Section 2.2.
Concrete Cracked-Elastic Stresses Stage
As the load is increased after the modulus of rupture of the concrete is exceeded, cracks begin
to develop in the bottom of the beam. The moment at which these cracks begin to form—that
is, when the tensile stress in the bottom of the beam equals the modulus of rupture—is referred
to as the racking moment, M,,. As the load is further inereased, these cracks quickly spread up
to the vicinity ofthe neutral axis, and then the neutral axis begins to move upward. The cracks
‘occur at those places along the beam where the actual moment is greater than the cracking
‘moment, as shown in Figure 2.2(a),
Now that the bottom has cracked, another stage is present because the conerete in the
cracked zone obviously cannot resist tensile stresses—the steel must do it. This stage will

conerete's compression strength, f, and as long as the stecl stress is less than its yield stress.
‘he stresses and strains for this ange aze shown in Figure 2.2(b). In this stage, the compressive
stresses vary nearly with the distance from the neutral axis or a a straight line
‘The stiaight-line stress-strain variation normally occurs in reinforced concrete beams
under normal service-load conditions because at those loads, the stresses are generally less
than O.50f!, To compute the concrete and steel stresses in this range, the transformed-area
method (to be presented in Section 23) is used. The service or working loads are the loads that
are agsumed to actually occur when a structure isin use or service, Under these loads, moments
develop that are considerably Inger than the cracking moments, Obviously, the tensile side
ofthe beam will be cracked, You will let to estimate crack widths and methods of limiting
their widths in Chapter 6
Beam Failure —Ultimate-Strength Stage
As the load is increased further so that the compressive stresses are greater than 0.50f!, the
tensile cracks move farther upward, as does the neutral axis, and the concrete compression
stresses begin to change appreciably from a straight line. For this initial discussion, it is
assumed that the reinforcing bars have yielded. The stress variation is much like that shown in
Figure 2.3. You should relate the information shown in this figure to that given in Figure 1.1
in Chapter 1 as to the changing ratio of stress to strain at different stress levels.
‘To further illustrate the three stages of beam behavior that have just been described, a

‘beam is not quite as stiff as it was in the initial stage before the concrete cracked. The diagram
will follow almost a straight line from M,, to the point where the reinforcing is stressed to
its yield point, Until the steel yields, a fairly large additional load is required to appreciably
increase the beam's deflection.
‘After the steel yields, the beam has very lite additional moment capacity, and only @
small additional load is required to substantially increase rotations as well as deflections. The
slope of the diagram is now very flat
2.2 Cracking Moment
‘The ara of reinforcing as a percentage ofthe (tal eress-sectionl area of a beam is quite
small (usually 2% ot less), and its effect on the beam properties is almost negligible as long

2.3 Elastic Stresses—Concrete Cracked
‘When the bending moment is sufficiently large to cause the tensile stress in the extreme fibers
to be greater than the modulus of rupture, itis assumed that all of the concrete on the tensile
side of the beam is cracked and must be neglected in the flexure calculations.
‘The cracking moment of a beam is normally quite small compared to the service load
‘moment. Thus, when the service loads are applied, the bottom of the beam cracks. The cracking
‘of the beam does not necessarily mean that the beam is going to fail. The reinforcing bars on
the tensile side begin to pick up the tension caused by the applied moment
On the tensile side of the beam, an assumption of perfect bond is made between the
reinforcing bats and the concrete. Thus, the strain in the concrete and in the steel will be equal
at equal distances from the neutral axis. If the strains in the wo materials at a particular point
are the same, however, their stresses cannot be the same since they have different moduli of
clasticity. Thus, their stresses ae in proportion to the ratio of their moduli of elasticity. The
ratio of the steel modulus to the concrete modulus is called the medular ratio, n
If the modular ratio for a particular beam is 10, the stress in the steel will be 10 times
the stress in the concrete at the same distance from the neutal axis. Another way of say-
ing this is that when n = 10, 1 in? of steel will carry the same total force as 10 in? of

For the beam of Figure 2.6, the stcel bars are replaced with an equivalent area of fictitious
concrete (nA,), which supposedly can resist tension. This aea is referred to as the transformed)

for elastic homogeneous beams. Also shown in the figure is @ diagram showing the stress

Discussion
For a given beam, the concrete and steel will not usually reach their maximum allowable

the concrete reaches its maximum permissible stress at 67.5 fk, while the steel does not reach
its maximum Value until 73.7 tk is applied. The resisting moment ofthe section is 675 fe-k
because if that value is exceeded, the conctete becomes overstzessed even though the steel

This reinforcing steel stress is slightly greater than the allowable values that were once in
the ACI Code. They used to be 24,000 lo/in? for Grade 60 reinforcing steal. This is about a
1.5% overstress in the steel, and many engineers would accept this much overstress as being
within the accuracy of ther other assurnpions, This beam would be called "tension controled
because the moment capacity is controlled by the steel, not the concrete, This same beam
could be compression controlled if alot more steel were used, Tension-controlled beams are
preferable to compression-contrlled ones, as willbe discussed lator in this tox
Example 2.7 illustrates the analysis of « Qoubly/Fein(ereed COnereE beani—that is, one
that has compression steel as well as tensile steel. Compression stel is generally thought to
be uneconomical, but occasionally its use is quite advantageous
(Compression steel will permit the use of appreciably smaller beams than those that make
use of tensile steel only. Reduced sizes can be very important where space or architectural
requirements limit the sizes of beams. Compression stel is quite helpful in reducing long-term
deflections, and such stel is useful for positioning stirrups or shear reinforcing, a subject to
be discussed in Chapter 8. A detailed discussion of doubly reinforced beams is presented in
Chapter 5,
‘The creep or plastic flow of concrete was described in Section 1.11. Should the com-
pression side of a beam be reinforced, the long-term stresses in that reinforcing will be greatly
affected by the creep in the concrete. As time goes by, the compression concrete will compact
‘ore tightly, leaving the reinforcing bars (which themselves have negligible ereep) to carry
amore and more of the load,
AAs a consequence of this creep in the concrete, the stresses in the compression bars
computed by the transformed-area method are assumed to double as time goes by. In
Example 2.7, the transformed area of the compression bars is assumed to equal 2n times their
sea, A,
On the subject of “airsplitting,” it will be noted in the example that the compression
steel area is really multiplied by 2n ~ 1. The transformed area of the compression side equals
the gross compression area of the concrete plus 2, minus the area ofthe holes inthe concrete
(IA;), which theoretically should not have been included in the concrete part. This equals the
compression concrete area plus Qn ~ 1)A,. Similarly, 2n ~ 1 is used in the moment of inertia
calculations. The stresses in the compression bars are determined by multiplying 2n times the
siresses in the concrete located atthe same distance from the neutral axis23 Elastic Svesses—Conerete Cracked 47

2.4 Ultimate or Nominal Flexural Moments
In this section, a very brief introduction to the calculation of the ultimate or nominal flexural
strength of beams is presented, This topic is continued at considerable length in the next chapter,
where formulas, limitations, designs, and other matters are presented. For this discussion, itis
assumed that the tensile reinforcing bars are stressed lo their yield point before the concrete on
the compressive side of the beam is crushed. You will learn in Chapter 3 that the ACI Code
requires all beam designs to fall into this category
Alter the concrete compression stresses exceed about 0.50f’, they no longer vary directly
as the distance from the neutral axis or as a straight line. Rather, they vary much as shown
in Figure 2.11(b). It is assumed for the purpose of this discussion that the curved com-
pression diagram is replaced with a rectangular one with a constant stress of O.85/!, as
shown in part (c) of the figure, The rectangular diagram of depth a is assumed to have
the same cg. (center of gravity) and total magnitude as the curved diagram. (In Section
3.4 of Chapter 3 of this text, you will learn that this distance a is set equal to fc, where
B; is a value determined by testing and specified by the code.) These assumptions will
enable us to easily calculate the theoretical or nominal flexural strength of reinforced concrete
beams. Experimental tests show that with the assumptions used here, accurate flexural strengths
are determined,
‘To obiain the Aomiinal Gr theoretical moment stvength Of @ beam) the simple steps to
follow are illustrated in Figure 2.11 and Example 2.8.
1. Compute total tensile force T = A, f,
2. Equate total compression force C = 0.85 fab to A,f, and solve for a. In this expression,
ab is the assumed area stressed in compression at 85)... The compression force C and
the tensile force T must be equal to maintain equilibrium at the section.
3. Calculate the distance between the centers of gravity of T and C (For a rectangular beam

In Example 2.9, the nominal moment capacity of another beam is determined much as
it was in Example 2.8. The only difference is that the cross section of the compression area
(A) stressed at 0.85’ is not rectangular. As a result, once this area is determined, we need to
locate its center of gravity. The c.g. for the beam of Figure 2.13 is shown as being a distance
F from the top of the beam in Figure 2.14. The lever arm from C to Tis equal tod —F (which
corresponds to d — a/2 in Example 2.8) and M, equals A,f,(d —J).
