TOPIC: Flexure and Shear Design of Beams Introduction
Flexure and Shear Design of Beams Flexure - is associated with lateral deformation of a member under a transversely applied load. Flexural strength - is a measure of the tensile strength of concrete beams or slabs. - identifies the amount of stress and force an unreinforced concrete slab, beam or other structure can withstand such that it resists any bending failures.
Flexure and Shear Design of Beams Analysis VS. Design 1. Analysis . Given a cross section, concrete strength, reinforcement size and location, and yield strength, compute the resistance or strength. In analysis there should be one unique answer. 2. Design . Given a factored design moment, normally designated as Mu , select a suitable cross section, including dimensions, concrete strength, reinforcement, and so on. In design there are many possible solutions. Mu? Beam dimension? Area of steel?
Flexure and Shear Design of Beams Required Strength and Design Strength The basic strength requirement from the ACI Code [4-2] is: Or for flexure: where M u is the moment due to the factored loads, which commonly is referred to as the factored design moment . The term M n refers to the nominal moment strength of a cross section, computed from the nominal dimensions and specified material strengths.
