Plainth 1

This document provides calculations for the design of a rectangular reinforced concrete beam. It includes inputs for the design moment, span, height, breadth, reinforcement diameters, concrete and steel strengths. It then outputs calculations for the depth to reinforcement, tension and compression stresses, required steel area and checks that design requirements are satisfied.

(3.4.4.4) z = 463.0(0.5 + (0.25 - 0.047/0.9)^ ) = 437.6 < 439.9 mm
(Fig 3.3) fst = 395.2 N/mm
As = 1E6 x 50 /437.6 /395.2 = 289 mm

PROVIDE 2 R14 tension steel = 308 mm
(Equn 8) fs = 2/3 x 415 x 289 /308 /0.70 = 371.1 N/mm
(Table 3.11)
Comp mod factor = 1 + 0.332 /(3 + 0.332) = 1.100 < 1.5
(Table 3.10)
Tens mod factor = 0.55 + (477 - 371.1) /120 /(0.9 + 1.166) = 0.977 < 2
(3.4.6.3) Permissible L/d = 26.0 x 1.100 x 0.977 = 27.938
