Flowchart Analysis For Singly Reinforced Rectangular Beams in Bending

The flowchart summarizes the sequence of operations for flexural design of singly reinforced concrete beams. It starts with inputting parameters like beam dimensions, material properties, and loading. It then selects a trial reinforcement ratio and checks if design requirements for cover, strain limits, or cracking are met. If not, the assumptions are refined and checked again until a final design is reached.

Flowchart for sequence of operations for flexural design of singly-reinforced beams

Start

Given: loading, span, end condition, f’c , fy

Assume section depth as function of the span, using


ACI deflection and control guidelines. Assume r=b/d
between 0.30-0.60, say 0.50. compute the factored
moment Mu and the corresponding Mn.

Select trial reinforcement percentage, ρ,


from Figure 5.4, as Mn=Rbd2

Assume: (1) c/dt<0.375, say 0.30


or (2) Ɛt>0.005, say 0.007
or (3) choose c=0.5cb where cb
corresponds to limit strain state Ɛt = 0.002 in./in.

From Mn and the trial ρ, compute a =


Asfy/(0.85f’cb).

No Yes
Deduced c = assumed
c

Select and refine final selection
