    This document describes an example problem that verifies the shear and flexural reinforcement design capabilities of ETABS software. A simply supported beam is designed according to ACI 318-11 code. ETABS computes the flexural and shear reinforcement, which is then compared to independent hand calculations. The results show an exact match between ETABS and the independent calculations for moment, tension reinforcement, shear force, and shear reinforcement. This verifies that ETABS correctly designs for flexure and shear according to the ACI 318-11 code.

    This example analyzes a simply supported concrete beam subjected to a uniform load to calculate flexural and shear reinforcement according to ACI 318-11.

    The beam has a rectangular cross-section that is 10 inches wide and 13.5 inches deep. The material properties and load are also given.

    The moment capacity is calculated and used to determine the depth of the compression block. The area of tensile steel is then calculated based on the compression depth.

    SHEAR AND FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT DESIGN OF A SINGLY REINFORCED RECTANGLE
    EXAMPLE DESCRIPTION
    The flexural and shear design of a rectangular concrete beam is calculated in this
    example.
    A simply supported beam is subjected to an ultimate uniform load of 9.736 k/ft.
    This example is tested using the ACI 318-11 concrete design code. The flexural
    and shear reinforcing computed is compared with independent hand calculated
    results.

    Shear Design
    The following quantities are computed for all of the load combinations:

    0.75
    f c :

    Check the limit of

    f c = 63.246 psi < 100 psi

    The concrete shear capacity is given by:


    Vc =

    f c bd

    = 12.807 k

    The maximum shear that can be carried by reinforcement is given by:


    Vs =

    f c bd = 51.229 k

    The following limits are required in the determination of the reinforcement:


    ( Vc/2)

    = 6.4035 k

    ( Vc + 50 bd)

    = 11.466 k

    Vmax = Vc + Vs = 64.036 k
    Given Vu, Vc and Vmax, the required shear reinforcement in area/unit length for
    any load combination is calculated as follows:
    If Vu (Vc/2),
    Av
    = 0,
    s

    else if (Vc/2) < Vu Vmax
