Because of torsion, the beam fails in diagonal tension forming the spiral cracks around the beam. Warping of the section does not allow a plane section to remain as plane after twisting. Clause 41 of IS 456:2000 provides the provisions for
the design of torsional reinforcements. The design rules for torsion are based on the equivalent moment.
4. Torsion
β’ The torsional moments produced in a beam are of two types:
(i) Primary torsion is the one which could be determined only
by using static equilibrium condition
(ii) Secondary or compatibility torsion is induced by rotation
applied to one or more points along the length of the
member through connected members. Twisting moment
induced here is proportional to the torsional stiffness of
member.
(i) (ii)
5. Effects of Torsional Moment
1. For this longitudinal reinforcements are provided which helps in reducing
the crack width through dowel action and stirrups crossing the cracks resist
shear due to vertical loads and torsion.
2. Where the torsional resistance or stiffness of members is taken into account
in the analysis , the members shall be designed for torsion.
β’ Because of torsion, beam fails in
diagonal tension forming spiral
cracks around the beam.
β’ Warping of the section does not
allow a plane section to remain
as plane after twisting.

design of torsional reinforcements.

Determine the reinforcement required of a
beam of b = 400 mm, d = 650 mm, D = 700 mm
and subjected to factored bending moment (π π’)
= 200 kN-m, factored torsional moment (ππ’) =
50 kN-m and factored shear (ππ’) = 100 kN. Use
