Is Code Provision of Beams

This document provides design specifications for reinforced concrete beams based on Indian Standard Code provisions. It outlines requirements for minimum and maximum reinforcement, clear cover, bar spacing, shear reinforcement, and calculation of shear strength. Key points include designing beams as double reinforced when moment capacity exceeds balancing moment, minimum tension reinforcement of 0.85/fy, maximum shear reinforcement spacing of 0.75d or 300mm, and clear cover of 25mm or bar diameter for longitudinal bars and 15mm for stirrups.

IS-CODE PROVISIONS FOR DESIGN OF BEAMS:

5. At supports when the moment of resistance exceeds the balancing moment the section
is designed as double reinforced section.
6. Minimum reinforcement in the tension shall not be less then Ast / Bd = 0.85 / fy
3. Max. Rein. In tension shall not be exceeded by 0.04 bDClause 26.5.1.
Max. Area of compression reinf. Shall not exceed 0.004 bd
4. Nominal shear stress for uniform depth shall be calculated the equation. v= vu/bd.
. Clause 40.1
5. Min. shear reinf. Will be provided when v < c given in table 19 of Is code.
6. Max. Spacing of shear reinf. Shall not exceed the least of 0.75d Or 300mm for vertical
stirrups clause 26.5.1.5.
7 The strength of shear reinf. Vs shall be calculated for vertical stirrups.
Vs = 0.87 fy Asv d / Sv.

. Clause 26.2.3.3.

8. Clear cover for longitudinal reinforcement in a beam should be neither less than 25mm nor
less than dia of such bar and 15mm to stirrups
9. At least two bars should be used as tension steel and not more than 6 bars should be in one
layer of beam.
10 The diameter of bar shall not be less than 10mm and of main tension bars 12mm. The
usual dia of bar chosen for beams are 10, 12, 16, 20, 22, 25 & 32mm. When using different
sized bars in one layer place the largest dia bar near the faces.
11. The max. Distance between bars has the dia. Of bar or max. Size of aggregate plus 5 mm
size. Size of aggregate normally used in India is 20 mm. So that clears max. Distance
between bar should be 25 mm

12. Accordingly, the dia. Of strips should be 6mm and the pitch should not be more than the
least of the following:
a.

Least lateral dimension.

b.

16 x dia. of longitudinal bar.

c.

300 mm
