Lecture Goals
• Basic Concepts
• Rectangular Beams
• Balanced Beams
Example - Class
For the given beam find the maximum allowable
moment and the neutral axis fy = 40 ksi, fc = 3 ksi.
(1)If the reinforcement consists of 3 #6
(2)If the reinforcement consists of 3 #9
Analysis of Doubly Reinforced
Sections
Effect of Compression Reinforcement on the Strength
and Behavior
Less concrete is needed to resist
the T and thereby moving the
neutral axis (NA) up.

Reasons for Providing
Compression Reinforcement
• Reduced sustained load deflections.
– Creep of concrete in compression zone
– transfer load to compression steel
– reduced stress in concrete
– less creep
– less sustained load deflection
Reasons for Providing Compression
Reinforcement
Effective of compression
reinforcement on sustained
load deflections.
• Increased Ductility
reduced stress block depth increase
in steel strain larger curvature are obtained.
Reasons for Providing Compression
Reinforcement
Effect of compression
reinforcement on
strength and ductility
of under reinforced
beams.

• Eases in Fabrication
use corner bars to hold & anchor stirrups.
