Reinforced Concrete Structures II .
Assignment On Chapter One; Submission Date April 11, 2023
Part I
1) A floor span continuous beam shown below supports a characteristic dead load of 30KN/m
including self-weight and a variable load of 15KN/m. The cross-section of the beam is
limited to b=250mm and D=500mm due to architectural reason.
Use Material C25/30 concrete, S-400 Steel and class I work
Draw envelope of the design moments and design the continuous beam shown in Fig.
i. Without moment redistribution
ii. With 25% moment redistribution

Part II
Although it is not needed explicitly in ordinary design, the relation between moment applied to a
given beam section and the resulting curvature, through the full range of loading to failure, is
important to the study of:

• Member ductility,
• Understanding the development of plastic hinges, and
• Accounting for the redistribution of elastic moments that occur in most RC structures before
collapse.
The ductility of a beam cross section depends on:

• Material grade (both for steel and concrete)


• Member dimension
• Reinforcement detail
Thus, the aim of this assignment is to help students understand the contribution of the above-
mentioned variables to the ductility of a beam cross section.

Consider a beam section shown in the figure below:

Where:

• b is the beam width in mm


• d is the effective depth in mm
• fyk is the characteristics strength of the rebar in MPa
• fcu is the characteristics cubic compressive strength of the concrete in MPa
• Ast area of steel in the tension side
• Asc area of steel in the compression side
• n is number of bars in the tension side
• m is size of bar in tension side
• p is number of bars in the compression side
• q is size of bar in the compression side
Use ( γc =1.5 , γs= 1.15 and concrete cover 25mm)
