Rectangular Beam Example
Determine the area of main steel, As required for the beam assuming the following
material strengths: fck = 25 N/mm2 and fyk = 500 N/mm2. Assuming Class XC1
exposure. Ø bar is 25 mm and Ø link is 8 mm.
gk = 12kN/m
qk = 8 kN/m
b = 275
h = 500
7000 mm
Solution:
i) Design Moment, M
Design Ultimate Load, w
w = 1.35gk + 1.5qk
= 1.35(12) + 1.5(8)
= 28.2 kN/m
Design Moment, M
M = wl2/8
= (28.2 x 72) / 8
= 172.7 kNm
ii) Calculate Effective Depth, d
For Class XC1 exposure, cmin,dur = 15 mm (Table 4.4N)
Ø bar is 25 mm (Table 4.2), hence cmin,b is 25 mm
cmin = max [cmin,b ; cmin,dur + Δcdur,δ – Δcdur,st – Δcdur,add ; 10]
cmin = max [25 ; 15 ; 10], take max value of cmin = 25 mm
Therefore; cnom to main steel = cmin + Δdev
= 25 mm + 10 mm
= 35 mm
Ø link = 8 mm,
Hence, effective depth, d = h – cnom – Ø link – Ø bar/2
= 500 – 35 – 8 – 25/2
= 444.5 mm
≈ 445 mm
As = M / 0.87fykz
= 172.7 x 106
0.87(500) (0.871 x 445)
Asreq = 1024 mm2
From Table A.1, provide 4H25, Asprov = 1470 mm2
As,max = 4.0bh/100
= 4(275 x 500) / 100
= 5500 mm2, As max > As ok
v) Crack Checking
Check min spacing of reinforcement
Clear distance between bars, s b = 275
s = (width,b – 2cnom – 2no of Ø link - no of Ø bar)
No. of spacing
d = 445
h = 500
= 275 – (2x35) – (2x8) - (4x25)

VRd,c = [0.12(1.67)(100x0.01x25)1/3](275)(445)
= 71.71kN
ρ = As prov/bd
= 1470/(275 x 445)
= 0.012 ρ < ρo
ρo = √fck x 10-3
= √25 x 10-3
= 0.005
qk = 5 kN/m b = 230
h = 370
9000 mm
Solution:
i) Design Moment, M
Design Ultimate Load, w
w = 1.35gk + 1.5qk
= 1.35(4) + 1.5(5)
= 12.9 kN/m
Design Moment, M
M = wl2/8
= (12.9 x 92) / 8
= 130.6 kNm
ii) Calculate Effective Depth, d
Effective depth, d = h – cnom – Ø link – Ø bar/2
= 370 – 40 – 10 – 25/2
= 307.5 mm
≈ 308 mm

From Table A.1, provide 2H40, As = 1260 mm 2
310/σs = 500/[fyk (As,req/As,pro)]
310/σs = 500/[500(945/982)]
σs = 298.4 N/mm2
d’ = 50
As,max = 4.0bh/100
As’ = 2H20
h = 370
= 4(230 x 370) / 100
d = 308
