4.1 Simply Reinforced Rectangular Section
What does it mean?
Simply reinforced section is the steel reinforcement that is provided only at the
tension zone. The form of section, stress distribution and forces on a section are as
shown in Figure 4.1:

REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL DESIGN C4301/UNIT4/
The meaning of symbols used are given in clause 3.4.4.3
For the section to be in balance, the sum of the forces must be equal to zero, i.e.
Fst = Fcc
0.87fyAs = 0.405fcubx
x =
Taking moments about Fcc or Fst, the moment of resistance of the section can be
calculated as follows,
M = Fst. Z
= (0.87fyAs) (d - 0.45x)
or,
M = Fcc. Z
= (0.405fcubx) (d – 0.45 x)
= (0.405 ) ( ) (fcubd2)
= K. fcu bd2
A section whereby the reinforcement is already known, the above equation can be
used to calculate the moment of resistance or the bending moment. Equation 4.1
shows that, x will increase if the area of reinforcement, As increases. The moment
of resistance of the section will also increase. It is clear that a section provided
with more reinforcement will be able to with stand reinforcement load i.e. greater
bending moment.

REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL DESIGN C4301/UNIT4/
In order to make sure that concrete will not crush or fail when in compression or
when yielding of the steel occurs, BS 8110 limits the value of x to be not greater
than 0.5d.
Therefore, the maximum resistance moment of resistance of the section can be
obtained by equating x = 0.5d. This is shown as follows: -
M = Mu = ) (1- ) (fcubd2)
= 0.156fcubd2
= K’fcubd2
Where Mu is known as the ultimate moment of resistance for singly
reinforced section.
The equation above may be used to calculate the area of reinforcement
required if the bending moment is known.
One important conclusion is that if the bending moment, M applied is less
than Mu, the section requires tension reinforcement in the tension zone.
This is called singly reinforced section.
4.2 Example Simply Reinforced Rectangular Section
A rectangular beam section is required to carry a design moment of 300kNm. The
dimension of the area, b = 250 mm and d = 700 mm. Determine the area and total
number of reinforcement needed if the characteristic strength of reinforcement
used, fy=460N/mm2 and that of concrete, fcu = 40 N/mm2.

REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL DESIGN C4301/UNIT4/
Solution:
Calculate the ultimate moment of resistance for singly reinforced section as
follows: -
Mu = 0.156fcubd2
= 0.156 (40) (250) (700)2
= 764.4kNm
This shows that Mu > M (=300kNm). Therefore this is a singly reinforced section
Calculate the depth to neutral axis as follows: -
M = 0.405fcubx (d - 0.45x)
300 x 106 = 0.405 (4) (250) (x) (700 - 0.45x)
x2 – 1560x + 16500 = 0
x = 114 mm @ 1441 mm
x is taken as 114mm (the reasonable value).
Calculate Lever arm, Z = d – 0.45x
= 700 – 0.45(114)
= 649 mm
Calculate the area of reinforcement required as follows: -
As =

Check,
Therefore concrete will not be crushed during compression.
Calculate the moment of resistance as shown below: -
M = Fst. Z
= 0.87 fy As (d - 0.45x)
= 0.87 (460) (1260) (700 – 0.45 (124))

Therefore, the moment of resistance of the beam section, provided with 4T20, is
325 kNm.

REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL DESIGN C4301/UNIT4/
4.3 Doubly Reinforced Rectangular Section
For singly reinforced section, steel reinforcement is only used for resisting tensile
force. Compressive force is taken by concrete in the compressive zone. BS 8110
allows the maximum value of x to be not greater than 0.5d for the concrete stress
block taking the compressive force.
Based on this maximum limit x = 0.5d, the maximum moment that can be carried
by concrete is given by,
Mu = 0.156fcubd2
If the bending moment, M to be carried by the section is greater than Mu, steel
reinforcement is to be provided in the compression zone to resist the resultant
moment. The stress-strain distribution and the forces acting in a doubly reinforced
rectangular section is shown in Figure 4.3 below: -

REINFORCED CONCRETE STRUCTURAL DESIGN C4301/UNIT4/
The condition for equilibrium which must be obtained at any point in the section
is that horizontal forces must equate to zero; i.e.:
Fst = Fcc + Fsc
0.87fyAs = 0.405fcubx + 0.87fyAs’
x = ……..(4.2)
Taking moment (moment of resistance) about the tension steel, we have;
M = Fcc . Z + Fsc . Z1
= (0.405fcubx) (d - 0.45x) + (0.87 fyAs’). (d - d’)
= 0.156fcubd2 + 0.87fyAs’ (d - d’)
= Mu + 0.87fyAs’ (d - d’)
Therefore, area of compression reinforcement is:
As’ =
=
From equation 4.2, it can be shown that:
0.87fyAs = 0.405fcubx + 0.87fyAs’
0.87fyAs.Z = 0.405fcubx. Z + 0.87fyAs’ Z
When x = 0.5d, therefore z = 0.775d
Then,
0.87fyAs. Z = 0.405fcub (0.5d - 0.775d) + 0.87fyAs’. Z
0.87fyAs.Z = 0.156 fcubd2 + 0.87fyAs’. Z

4.4 Stress in the compression reinforcement.
In deriving equation 4.3 above, it is assumed that the compression reinforcement
has yielded, i.e. it has achieved its design strength of 0.87fy.
From the strain design diagram, it can be shown that:
For the design strength to achieve the value 0.87fy, therefore;

For fy = 460 N/mm2,

This implies that for compression reinforcement to achieve its yield point, the
ratio must not exceed 0.43. If > 0.43, the compressive stress, fsc < 0.87 fy
and the value fsc can be obtained from Figure 2.2 BS 8110.

4.3 Design Example (Rectangular Section )
A rectangular section of reinforced concrete beam is to be designed to carry a
design moment of 880kNm. The width of this beam, b=250 mm and the depth,
d=700 mm. Calculate the area and the total number of bars needed if
fcu=40N/mm2 and fy = 460 N/mm2.
Solution:

Mu = 0156fcubd2

You should score 80% or more to pass this unit.
If you have scored 80% or more, you may
proceed to unit 5.
If you have scored less than 80%, you should
go through unit 4 again until you pass this unit.See you in UNIT 5.
