    This document discusses the design of rectangular reinforced concrete beams. It describes three main types of beams: 1) rectangular beams with only tensile reinforcing, 2) T-beams with only tensile reinforcing, and 3) beams with both tensile and compressive reinforcing. For rectangular beams with only tensile reinforcing, it provides formulas to calculate the required depth and reinforcing based on the beam's span and allowable stresses. It also discusses considerations for T-beams and beams with both tensile and compressive reinforcing.

    The passage discusses different types of reinforced concrete beams and their design.

    Rectangular beams with tensile reinforcing only, T-beams with tensile reinforcing only, and beams with tensile and compressive reinforcing.

    The effective flange width should not exceed (1) one-fourth the span of the beam, (2) the width of the web portion of the beam plus 16 times the thickness of the slab, or (3) the center-to-center distance between beams.

    Design of Rectangular Reinforced Concrete Beam.

    Reinforced concrete beams are structural


    elements that designed to carry transverse external loads. ... Moreover, concrete is strong in
    compression and very weak in tension.

    A number of different design methods have been used for reinforced concrete construction. The three
    most common are working-stress design, ultimate-strength
    design, and strength design method. Each method has its backers and supporters.

    For actual designs the latest edition of the ACI Code should be consulted.

    Beams
    Concrete beams may be considered to be of three principal types: (1) rectangular beams with tensile
    reinforcing only, (2) T-beams with tensile reinforcing
    only, and (3) beams with tensile and compressive reinforcing.
    Rectangular Beams with Tensile Reinforcing Only This type of beam includes
    slabs, for which the beam width b equals 12 in (305 mm) when the moment and
    shear are expressed per foot (m) of width. The stresses in the concrete and steel
    are, using working-stress design formulas,

    *l is the span of the beam or slab in inches (millimeters
    The width of a beam should be at least l/32.

    For a balanced design, one in which both the concrete and the steel are
    stressed to the maximum allowable stress, the following formulas may be used:

    Values of K, k, j, and p for commonly used stresses are given in Table 5.2.
    T-Beams with Tensile Reinforcing Only When a concrete slab is constructed
    monolithically with the supporting concrete beams, a portion of the slab acts as the
    upper flange of the beam. The effective flange width should not exceed (1) onefourth the span of the
    beam, (2) the width of the web portion of the beam plus 16
    times the thickness of the slab, or (3) the center-to-center distance between beams.
    T-beams where the upper flange is not a portion of a slab should have a flange
    thickness not less than one-half the width of the web and a flange width not more
    than four times the width of the web. For preliminary designs, the preceding
    formulas given for rectangular beams with tensile reinforcing only can be used,
    because the neutral axis is usually in, or near, the flange. The area of tensile
    reinforcing is usually critical.
    Beams with Tensile and Compressive Reinforcing Beams with compressive
    reinforcing are generally used when the size of the beam is limited. The
    allowable beam dimensions are used in the formulas given earlier to determine
    the moment that could be carried by a beam without compressive reinforcement.
    The reinforcing requirements may then be approximately determined from

    Checking Stresses in Beams Beams designed using the preceding approximate


    formulas should be checked to ensure that the actual stresses do not exceed the
    allowable, and that the reinforcing is not excessive. This can be accomplished by
    determining the moment of inertia of the beam. In this determination, the
    concrete below the neutral axis should not be considered as stressed, whereas the
    reinforcing steel should be transformed into an equivalent concrete section. For
    tensile reinforcing, this transformation is made by multiplying the area As by n,
    the ratio of the modulus of elasticity of steel to that of concrete. For compressive
    reinforcing, the area Asc is multiplied by 2(n – 1). This factor includes allowances
    for the concrete in compression replaced by the compressive reinforcing and for
    the plastic flow of concrete. The neutral axis is then located by solving
    Columns
    The principal columns in a structure should have a minimum diameter of 10 in
    (255 mm) or, for rectangular columns, a minimum thickness of 8 in(203 mm) and
    a minimum gross cross-sectional area of 96 in2 (61,935 mm2).
