4. Definition of Beam:
Beam is the horizontal member of a structure,
carrying transverse load. Beam carry the Floor slab or
the roof slab. Bram transfer all the loads including its
self-weight to the columns or walls.
5. Definition of R.C.C Beam:
R.C.CDue . Beam is to bendingtical moments
and shear. to the versubjected external load ,
bending compresses the top fibers of the beam
and elongates the bottom fibers. The strength of
R.C.C. beam depends on the compsite action of
concrete and steels
6. Rectangular beam design : singly &
doubly reinforced beam by USD
• Compressive Strength of Concrete, f‘c (3000-5000psi)
• Yield Strength of Steel, fy(40-60 grade)
• Spacing of Reinforcement------ (≥ maximum diameter of the
bars or 1-1.5in or 1.50 times
maximum size of aggregate)
• Concrete Cover------ ( for main bars 1in and stirrups 0.75 in)
• Beam Width
• Beam Depth, d
• Steel Area
Physical Factors
StrengthFactors
7. Important Considerations In Design
•Factored Loads (Generally 1.2 Dead Load +
1.6 Live Load which implies factored moment
Mu)
•Capacity Reduction Factors,
ɸ = 0.9 for Bending in Reinforced
Beam;
= 0.75 for Shear and Tension.
8. Important Definitions
Balanced Steel Ratio
When due to same load tensile steel theoretically reach its
yield and concrete attains its ultimate strain 0.003.
ρb = 0.85 * (f’c/fy) * [{0.003/0.003+(fy/Ey)}*d].
Under Reinforced Beam
When steel begin to yield even though concrete compressive
strain < 0.003.
Steel ratio <<<< ρb.
Failure with warning
Over Reinforced Beam
When steel begin to yield with concrete compressive failure.
Steel ratio >>>> ρb.
Sudden Failure.
9. Design Types of RCC Beams
Singly Reinforced Beam
Steel Only at Tension Zone i.e. below neutral zone.
Design procedure is General Flexural Design.
Generally Rectangular Beam.
Design as when ɸMn ≥ Mu
Doubly Reinforced Beam
Steel in Compression as well as Tension Zone.
General Flexural Design both for top and bottom fibre.
Both Rectangular and T-beam.
Design as when ɸMn ≤ Mu.

Such as BNBC/ACI.

If Beam size consider by Architect &Compression zone not
perfect
To carry compression load you should be Design doubly
Reinforced Beam,
14. Definition of T-Beam:
When slabs are monolithically casted with beams
in a positive moment zone, part of the slab act as a
part of the beam and resist the longitudinal
compression. The resulting section is T beam.
The top of the T-shaped cross section serves as a
flange or compression member in resisting
compressive stresses.
