BEAM SECTION DESIGN OF CONCRETE BEAM SECTIONS DESIGN | C22
Detailed Description Use the Beam Section module to design a concrete section subjected to moment, shear, and torsion forces.
The design calculates moment, shear, and torsional stresses in web and flange, and required reinforcement for each.
Some reinforcement configurations are also suggested in the output as guidelines. The section design output can be grouped on a Calcsheet for printing or sending to Calcpad . Various settings can be made with regards to the inclusion of design results and pictures.
Theory used in this module The normal code formulae apply when calculating flexural reinforcement for rectangular sections and for flanged sections where the neutral axis falls inside the flange. If the neutral axis falls outside the flange, the section is designed as two separate sub sections: The first sub section consists of the flange without the central web part of the section and the remaining central portion defines the second sub-section. By considering the total section, the moment required to put the flange portion in compression can be calculated using the normal code formulae. This moment is then applied to the flange sub section and the required reinforcement calculated using the effective depth of the total section. The same moment is then subtracted from the total applied moment, the resulting moment is applied to the central sub section and the reinforcement is calculated.
