Stage-II, Cracked Section
When section cracks, N.A. moves
towards compression face means
“la” increases. “T” and “Cc” also
increase.
Stage-I, Un-cracked Section
N.A. position is fixed, means “la”
remains constant. Only “T” and
“Cc” increase with the increase of
load

Stage-III, Yielding in Steel Occur
T = Asfy remains constant and Cc also
remains constant. “la” increases as the
N.A. moves towards compression face
because cracking continues.
Failure initiates by the yielding of
steel but final failure is still by
crushing of concrete

Trial # 1, Assume some value of

reasonable value, and put in (C)
to get “As”
Trial # 2, Put the calculated value
of “As” in (A) to get “a”. Put this
“a” value in (C) to get “As”
Keep on doing the trials unless
“As” from a specific trial
becomes equal to the “As”
calculated from previous trial.
THIS VALUE OF AS WILL BE
THE FINAL ANSWER.
10. Plain & Reinforced Concrete-1
Is The Section is Under-Reinforced or NOT ?
1. Calculate ρ and if it is less than ρmax, section is
under reinforced
2. Using “a” and “d” calculate εt if it is ≥ 0.005,
section is under-reinforced (tension controlled)
3. If section is over-reinforced than in the
following equation –ve term will appear in the
under-root.

Alternate Method
Step # 1 to step # 3 are for deciding whether the section is
tension over reinforced or under-reinforced. Alternatively it can
be done in the following manner.
1. Calculate ρ and ρmax if ρ < ρmax section is under-
reinforced.
2. Calculate dmin, if d ≥ dmin, section is tension controlled
22. Plain & Reinforced Concrete-1
Selection of Steel Bars for Beams
1. When different diameters are selected the maximum
difference can be a gap of one size.
2. Minimum number of bars must be at least two, one in
each corner.
3. Always Place the steel symmetrically.
4. Preferably steel may be placed in a single layer but it is
allowed to use 2 to 3 layers.
5. Selected sizes should be easily available in market
6. Small diameter (as far as possible) bars are easy to cut
and bend and place.
23. Plain & Reinforced Concrete-1
Selection of Steel Bars for Beams (contd…)
7. ACI Code Requirements
There must be a minimum clearance between bars (only exception is
bundled bars).
Concrete must be able to flow through the reinforcement.
Bond strength between concrete and steel must be fully
developed.
Minimum spacing must be lesser of the following
Nominal diameter of bars
25mm in beams & 40mm in columns
1.33 times the maximum size of aggregate used.
We can also give an additional margin of 5 mm.
24. Plain & Reinforced Concrete-1
Selection of Steel Bars for Beams (contd…)
8. A minimum clear gap of 25 mm is to be provided
between different layers of steel
9. The spacing between bars must not exceed a maximum
value for crack control, usually applicable for slabs
What is Detailing?
Deciding diameter of bars
Deciding no. of bars
Deciding location of bent-up and curtailment of bars
making sketches of reinforcements.
