Full Beam reinforcement manual calculation as per IS 456-2000 code | Beam design | structural design |

In this article I will explain you complete manual design of Ground floor beam reinforcement details as per the IS 456-2000 code provisions.

In my previous blog the complete calculation of dead load is explained please click here to read article.

Basically beam is the horizontal member in building structure which is exists in X direction and Y direction condition as per the architectural plan. The design of beam reinforcement depends upon the loading condition. If the total load on the building is less than less reinforcement bars are required to build the structure.

For the present case ground floor building is considered which is consisting of three cases of beams namely B1, B2 and B3.

The typical beam layout is shown in the below figure for the beam reinforcement calculation.

                                                             Beam layout

The above figure shows the beam layout of ground floor building which is consisting of three case of beams namely B1, B2 and B3 as per the architectural floor plan. For the beams dimensions of beam is taken as 300mmX400mm cross section, 250mmX350mm, and 300mmX350mm

The load acting on the beam through the gravity load for beam 1 is 19.696kN/m, for beam 1 is 10.55kN/m, and  finally for Beam 3 it is considered as 9.584kN/m.

Beam 1 design details as per IS 456-2000 code

Calculation of load

a) UDL    = 19.696 kN/m

b) Self weight of beam =  γc× b ×D

Where γc is unit weight of concrete

For plain concrete γc is 24kN/m3 and for reinforced concrete γc is 25kN/m3

=  25×0.3×0.45

= 3.225 kN/m

Total load  = sum of UDL and self weight of beam

= 19.696 + 3.22

                                      = 22.92   kN/m

Factored load =  γp×load

Where γp is the factor of safety as per IS 456 it is considered as 1.5

=  1.5 ×22.92

= 34.3815  kN/m

Calculation of moment and moment of resistance :

Mmax = (wxlxl)/8

= (34.3815X4.8X4.8)/8                          (where l = span of the beam =4.8m)

=99.0  KN-M

and

MOR   = 0.138× fckXbXdXd                (Fe415     Xu= 0.48d)

= 0.138×20×300×400X400

= 132.48KN-M

  • Since (MOR) ˃ Mmax , so beam is designed as singly reinforced

Reinforcement:

As  a is designed for under -reinforcement case.

i.e˂ Xu<Xumax

Then from IS 456, pg 96 ,Annex 9.

Mmax= 0.87XfyXAstXd (1-(fyXAst/fckXbXd))

1000000×99 = 0.87×415×Ast×400(1-(415XAst/20X300X400))

Ast= 773.57 mm2

By assuming 16mm diameter bars

Max provide bar of dia =16mm

Area of individual bars =(ΠXdXd)/4

=(ΠX16X16)/4

= 201.06 mm2

Number of bars required = (total steel/area of individual bars)

= 3.84  4 no’s

Approximately 4 bars of 16mm diameter required

Ast provided =((ΠX16X16)/4)X4

= 804.24mm2

Calculation of load

a) UDL = 10.55 kN/m

b) Self weight of beam =  γc× b ×D

Where γc is unit weight of concrete

For plain concrete γc is 24kN/m3 and for reinforced concrete γc is 25kN/m3

self weight of beam   =  25×0.25×0.38

= 2.375

Total load = 10.55+ 2.375

=12.92kN/m

Factored load =  γp×load

Where γp is the factor of safety as per IS 456 it is considered as 1.5

=1.5X12.92

= 19.38 kN/m

Calculation of moment and moment of resistance :

Mmax = (wxlxl)/8

=(19.38X4.4X4.4)/8                          (where l = span of the beam =4.4m)

=46.949  KN-M

and

Conclusions for beam reinforcement details

Well now the above explained concepts are related to the complete beam reinforcement details calculations for ground floor building structure as per IS 456-2000 code.

The reinforcement details are calculated for three types of beams namely B1, B2, and B3 sections. For B1 it is required 4 bars of 16mm diameter, for B2 and B3 it is required 2 bars of 16mm diameter at bottom.
