Analysis of Singly-reinforced Beam using ACI 318M-14
Material Characteristics
𝑓_𝑐𝑢 = 30
𝑓_𝑐 = 24 MPa Compressive strength of concrete
𝑓_𝑦 = 460 MPa Yield strength of Steel
𝐴_𝑠 = 307.88 𝑚𝑚^2 Area of Tensile Reinforcement
𝐸 = 200000 MPa Modulus of Elasticity of Steel
Dimensions
H = 250 mm Depth of the Beam
b = 125 mm Effective Width
d = 218 mm Effective Depth of the Beam
𝑑^′ = 32 mm Depth of Tensile Reinfrocement
𝑎 = 700
Using equilibrium of forces at beam section to solve for a,
C=T
0.85𝑓_𝑐 𝑎𝑏 = 𝐴_𝑠 𝑓_𝑦
𝑎 = = 55.54 mm
Check whether tension steel yields (Strain Compatibility), 𝒇_𝒔 = 𝒇_𝒚 Steel yields
𝜀_𝑦 = = 0.0023 𝒇_𝒔 = 𝜺_𝒔 𝑬_𝒔 Steel does not yield
𝜀_𝑐 = 0.003 Maximum usable strain at extreme compression fiber
β1 = 0.85-0.007(fc-28) = 0.878
𝑐 = = 63.26 mm
Steel Yields 𝒇_𝒔 = 𝒇_𝒚
𝜀_𝑠
𝜀_𝑠 = (𝜀_𝑐𝑢 (ⅆ−𝑐))/𝑐 = 0.007 > 𝜀_𝑦 = 460 Mpa
Check if the section is tension controlled
𝜀_𝑠 > 0.005 Tension Controlled ɸ = 0.9
Calculate Flexural Capacity
𝑀_𝑓(n) = = 26.94 KN.m
𝑉_𝑓(p/2) = 𝑀_𝑢/𝑎 = 38.49 KN P/2 = 19243.819
Calculate the Shear Capacity 𝜆 = 1
𝑉_𝐶 = 0.167𝜆√(𝑓_𝑐 ) 𝑏𝑑 = 22.29 KN Shear Failur Occurred OK!
