This document provides an overview of moment design and flexure design procedures for reinforced concrete structures. It discusses design and checking of singly and doubly reinforced rectangular and flanged sections subjected to bending. Key steps covered include determining the neutral axis depth, tension and compression reinforcement requirements, and checking moment capacity. Design examples are provided to illustrate the application of these procedures to different section types and load cases.
3. DESIGN METHOD / PROCEDURES
Based on Section 6.1 MS EN 1992-1-1 – ULS analysis
and design of section subjected to bending

4. In this chapter, you’ll learn
about:
Rectangular section: Singly and doubly
reinforced
Flanged section: Singly and doubly
reinforced

5. 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.

32. 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.

47. 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

52. 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
having a width 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑓.
