Design Sketch For Designed Beam: 1 " Clear (Typ.)

The document details the design of a reinforced concrete beam with a span of 20 feet and specified material properties. It involves calculating the design moment, assuming a reinforcement ratio, and iteratively solving for the beam depth and reinforcement area. The final designed beam has a width of 12 inches, depth of 26 inches, and contains three #10 reinforcing bars.

Given

𝑙 = 20 𝑓𝑡. 𝑓𝑐′ = 4000 𝑃𝑠𝑖


𝑤𝐷𝐿 = 1.9 𝑘/𝑓𝑡 𝑓𝑦 = 60,000 𝑃𝑠𝑖
𝑤𝐿𝐿 = 2.0 𝑘/𝑓𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓 𝑤𝑒𝑖𝑔ℎ𝑡 𝑜𝑓 𝑏𝑒𝑎𝑚 = 150 𝑙𝑏/𝑓𝑡 3
Solution:

1. Find the applied design moment 𝑀𝑢 ,

𝑤𝑢 = 1.2𝑤𝐷𝐿 + 1.6𝑤𝐿𝐿 = 1.2(1.9) + 1.6(2.0) = 5.48 𝑘𝑖𝑝𝑠/𝑓𝑡


Note that this is the factored design load,

𝑤𝑢 𝑙 2 5.48(20)2
𝑀𝑢 = = = 274 𝑓𝑡 − 𝑘𝑖𝑝𝑠

2. Assume a value for 𝜌. Use 𝜌 = 0.0120
3. The associated 𝑘̅ value is 0.6438 𝑘𝑠𝑖.
4. At this point we have two unknowns, b and d, which can be established by assuming 𝒃 and then solve for 𝒅.

Assume 𝜙 = 0.90,

subject to later check.

Assuming that 𝒃 = 𝟏𝟐 in. and utilizing the relationship

𝑀𝑢 = 𝜙𝑏𝑑 2 𝑘̅ ,

𝑀𝑢 274(12)
required d = √ ̅ = √ = 21.75 𝑖𝑛.
𝜙𝑏𝑘 0.9(12)0.6438)

A check of the d/b ratio gives 21.75 /12 = 1.8125, which is a reasonable value.

5. At this point, the beam weight may be estimated. Realizing that the total design moment will
increase, the final beam size may be estimated to be about 12in. × 22 in. for purposes of calculating its
weight.Thus,

12(22)
beam dead load = (0.150) = 0.275 𝑘𝑖𝑝/𝑓𝑡
144

0.275(20)2
6. The additional 𝑀𝑢 due to beam weight is 𝑀𝑢 = 1.2 ( ) = 16.5 𝑓𝑡. −𝑘𝑖𝑝𝑠

Total 𝑀𝑢 = 274 + 16.5 = 290.5 𝑓𝑡. −𝑘𝑖𝑝𝑠

7. Using the same 𝜌, 𝑘̅ , and 𝑏 as previously, compute the new required 𝑑:

𝑀𝑢 290.5(12)
required d = √𝜙𝑏𝑘
̅ = √0.9(12)0.6438) = 22.4 𝑖𝑛.

A check of the d/b ratio gives 22.4 /12 = 1.86, which is a reasonable value.

9. Select three No. 10 bars. Therefore 𝐴𝑠 = 3.81 𝑖𝑛.2 .

Minimum required 𝑏 = 10.5 𝑖𝑛. (𝑂. 𝐾. )

10. Determine the total beam depth h:


1.3
required ℎ = 22.4 + 1.13 + 2
+ 1.5 = 25.68 𝑖𝑛

Rounding up by a ½ in. increment, we will use h = 26 in.

The actual effective depth d may now be checked:


1.3
D= 26-(1.13 + 2
+ 1.5) = 22.72 𝑖𝑛 > 22.4 𝑖𝑛. (𝑂. 𝐾. )

11. A design sketch is shown in Figure. This design is not necessarily the best. The final 𝜌 is

= 0.01100

Check ∈𝑡 : from Table ∈𝑡 > 0.005. Therefore, the assumed 𝜙 is O.K. The final d/b ratio is
