Flanged Beam Design Example

1) The document summarizes the design of a reinforced concrete beam with an effective flange width of 895mm that is subjected to bending moments. 2) The design is checked for both the mid-span and support moments and includes calculating the normalized bending resistance, lever arm, required reinforcement area, and ensuring the reinforcement satisfies minimum and maximum limits. 3) For both load cases, 2 diameter 16mm reinforcing bars are determined to be sufficient and satisfy all design checks.

Design example of a Flanged reinforced concrete beam


1. A continuous beam in a residential building is loaded as shown below. The beam is an L-
beam with an effective flange width of 895mm. The depth and width are 450*230mm.
concrete cover = 35mm, C25/30, fyk=460Mpa

Step 1- Material strength

Step 4- Check the Compression reinforcement requirement
Check if 𝐾 < 𝐾’ = 0.167…. No Compression reinforcement is required!!!
Step 5- Determine the lever arm (Z)
𝑍 = 𝑑 [ 0.5 + √ (0.25 – 𝐾/1.134)] = 𝑑 [ 0.5 + √(0.25 – 0.01029/1.134)] = 0.99𝑑
𝑍 = 0.99𝑑 < 0.95𝑑, 𝑵𝑶𝑻 𝑶𝒌!
Use 𝑍 = 0.95𝑑 = 0.95 ∗ 399 = 379.05𝑚𝑚
