    The document discusses design parameters for longitudinal reinforcement bars in beams, including minimum distance between bars, maximum spacing of tension bars, minimum area of reinforcement, and maximum area of reinforcement. It provides formulas from BS 8110 for calculating these values based on factors like bar diameter, steel yield strength, beam dimensions, and required vs provided reinforcement area. The parameters aim to ensure adequate reinforcement while allowing for constructability factors like concrete compaction.

    Design Parameters for Longitudinal Bars

    For each of these parameters, the user defined limits (specified in Design Options > Beam >
    Reinforcement Settings) are considered in addition to any BS 8110 recommendations.

    Minimum Distance between Bars


    To allow you to make decisions regarding access for concrete compaction or size of aggregate, a
    value for the minimum clear distance between bars is specified in Design Options > Beam >
    Reinforcement Settings - separate values being set for bars in the top of the beam and for those in
    the bottom of the beam.
    The minimum clear horizontal distance between individual parallel bars, scl,min, is given by;1
    scl,min ≥ MAX[hagg + 5mm, scl,u,min]
    where    
    hagg = maximum size of coarse aggregate
    scl,u,min = user specified minimum clear distance between bars

    The minimum clear vertical distance between horizontal layers of parallel bars, scl,min, is given by;
    scl,min ≥ 2hagg/3
    IF    
    φ > hagg + 5mm,
    THEN    
    scl,min  > φ
    where    
    φ = the maximum diameter of bar
    Maximum Spacing of Tension Bars
    When the maximum crack width is limited to 0.3mm and nominal cover to reinforcement does not
    exceed 50 mm,
    scl,max  ≤ 47000/fs ≤ 300mm
    where    
    scl,max  = maximum clear horizontal distance between bars in tension
    fs = the design service stress in the tension reinforcement of a
    memberA
    fs = (5*fy *As req)/(8*As prov) * (1/βb)
    As req = required area of tension reinforcement
    As prov = provided area of tension reinforcement
    βb = (moment at the section after redistribution) / (moment at the
    section before redistribution)

    Minimum Area of Reinforcement


    The minimum area of longitudinal tension reinforcement, As,min, is given by;A
    a) For rectangular sections:
      As,min ≥ 0.0024*b*h (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As,min ≥ 0.0013*b*h (For fy = 500 N/mm2)
    b) For flanged beams, web in tension:
    i) bw/b ˂ 0.4
      As,min ≥ 0.0032*bw*h (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As,min ≥ 0.0018*bw*h (For fy = 500 N/mm2)
    ii) bw/b ≥ 0.4
      As,min ≥ 0.0024*bw*h (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As,min ≥ 0.0013*bw*h (For fy = 500 N/mm2)
    c) For flanged beams, flange in tension:
    i) T beam
      As,min ≥ 0.0048*bw*h (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As,min ≥ 0.0026*bw*h (For fy = 500 N/mm2)
    ii) L beam
      As,min ≥ 0.0036*bw*h (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As,min ≥ 0.002*bw*h (For fy = 500 N/mm2)

    A
     BS 8110-1:1997 3.12.5.3, Table 3.25

    The minimum area of longitudinal compression reinforcement, As’,min, is given by;


    a) For rectangular sections:
      As’,min ≥ 0.002*b*h (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As’,min ≥ 0.002*b*h (For fy = 500 N/mm2)
    b) For flanged beam:
    i) Flange in compression
      As’,min ≥ 0.004*b*hf (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As’,min ≥ 0.004*b*hf (For fy = 500 N/mm2)
    ii) Web in compression
      As’,min ≥ 0.002*bw*h (For fy = 250 N/mm2)
      As’,min ≥ 0.002*bw*h (For fy = 500 N/mm2)
      where      
      b = breadth of section
      bw = breadth or effective breadth of the rib for T or L section, average
    breadth of the concrete below the flange
     
      fy = characteristic strength of reinforcement
      h = overall depth of the cross-section of a reinforced member
      hf = depth of flange  

    Maximum Area of Reinforcement


    The maximum area of longitudinal tension reinforcement, As,max, is given by2;
    As,max ≤ 0.04*Ac    

    The maximum area of longitudinal compression reinforcement, As’,max, is given by;


    As’,max ≤ 0.04*Ac    
    where        
    Ac = the cross sectional area of the beam
      = h*b (For rectangular section)
      = h*bw (For flanged section)
