ANALYSIS OF SINGLY REINFORCED BEAM WORKING STRESS METHOD :
MODULAR RATIO : It is defined as the ratio of moduli of steel to the moduli of concrete. It is denoted by the letter “m”.
m=Es/Ec
The modular ratio is not constant for all grades of concrete. It varies with the grade of concrete. Es/Ec is generally not used to
calculate modular ratio for reinforced concrete designs. AS PER IS: 456-1978; m is calculated by the following formula:
m = 280/3σcbc, where, σcbc = permissible compressive stress in concrete in bending.
Grade of Concrete Modular Ratio
Calculation of Modular ratio values for different grades of concrete M15 m = 280/3×5 = 18.66
2. Stress in bond (average) for plain bars 0.6 0.8 0.9 1.0
STRAIN DIAGRAM :
As per the assumption of elastic theory, the strain distribution is linear, with value zero at the neutral axis to maximum at the top and
bottom fibre. The strain diagram for the given R.C.C. section is shown in Figure below.
STRESS DIAGRAM :
As per the assumption (4) of the elastic theory the stress-strain relationship is linear for concrete. So, the stress diagram is also a
straight line with value zero at neutral axis and varying linearly with the distance as shown in Fig.ure below.
Maximum permissible stress at the top most fibre in concrete = σcbc
Maximum permissible stress in steel = σst
Maximum stress in equivalent concrete area at the level of steel = σstm
NOTE:
1. The suffix cbc in σcbc stands for permissible stress in concrete in bending compression.
2. The suffix st in σst stands for permissible stress in steel in tension.
NEUTRAL AXIS :
Putting m=280/ 3σcbc in the above equation for k, we can see that k does not depend upon grade of concrete. It depends upon grade
of steel only.
NEUTRAL AXIS :
PERCENTAGE OF STEEL (Pt ) :
The factor k, j and R are constant for a given type of steel and concrete and do not depend upon the beam dimension. These are
DESIGN METHODS FOR SINGLY REINFORCED SECTIONS:
Design Methods for Singly reinforced Sections:
Let,
b = breadth of a rectangular beam
d = effective depth of a beam
x = depth of neutral axis below the compression edge
Ast = cross-sectional area of steel in tension
σcbc = permissible compressive stress in concrete in bending
σst = permissible stress in steel
m = modular ratio
Neutral axis : Neutral axis is denoted as NA.
We will follow a simple two step procedure. C=T
Step One: C = area x average compressive stress
Given that: = (b.x) X (σcbc + 0)/2
Dimensions of the section (b and d) = bx (σcbc/2)
Permissible stresses in concrete and steel (σcbc and σst) T = area x tensile stress
Modular ratio (m) = Ast x σst
From the above diagram, the formula is as follows: Therefore, bx (σcbc/2) = Ast x σst —————-equation 2
σcbc/(σst/m) = x/(d – x) ——————————– equation 1 Calculation of NA can be done from eq. 1 and the area of
From the above equation 1, the value of x can be determined. steel from equation 2.
Step two: The area of tensile steel is expressed as a percentage
To find area of steel (Pt) of the effective section.
Equating total compressive force (C) to total tensile force (T) Pt = Ast x 100/bd
