@ Hoong-Pin Lee
DESIGN METHOD / PROCEDURES
Based on Section 6.1 MS EN 1992-1-1 – ULS analysis
and design of section subjected to bending
@ Hoong-Pin Lee
In this chapter, you’ll learn
about:
 Rectangular section: Singly and doubly
reinforced
 Flanged section: Singly and doubly
reinforced
@ Hoong-Pin Lee
Two different types of problems
in the study of RC flexural
elements:
 (1) Design:
 Given a cross-section, concrete strength, steel
reinforcement strength, and applied ultimate bending
moment, determine the area and number of
reinforcement required.
 (2) Design Check:
 Given a cross-section, concrete strength, number, strength
and size of steel reinforcement provided, determine the
moment of resistance.

 The plastic behavior of reinforced concrete at the ULS affects
the distribution of moments in a structure.
 To allow for this, the moment derived from an elastic analysis
may be redistributed based on the assumption that plastic
hinges have formed at the sections with the largest moments.
 Formation of plastic hinges required relatively large rotations
with yielding of the tension reinforcement.
 To ensure large strain in the tension steel, the code of practice
restricts the depth of the neutral axis to correspond with the
magnitude of the moment redistribution carried out.

 When the flange is relatively wide, the flexural
compressive stress is not uniform over its width.
 The stress varies from a maximum in the web region to
progressively lower values at points farther away from
the web.
 In order to operate within the framework of the theory
of flexural, which assumes a uniform stress distribution
across the width of the section,
 IT IS NECESSARY TO DEFINE AN EFFECTIVE FLANGE

Neutral Axis Lies in the Flange
Note: All the concrete on the tension side is assumed
ineffective in flexural computations, and the flanged
beam may just as well be treated as a rectangular section
