BEAM SECTION DESIGN OF CONCRETE BEAM SECTIONS DESIGN | C22
The tension reinforcement for the actual section is then taken as the sum of the calculated reinforcement for the two sub sections. If compression reinforcement is required for the central sub section, it is used as the required compression reinforcement for the entire section. The module assumes that shear is resisted by the web portion of the section only. Shear stress is therefore calculated using the web area and checked not to exceed the ultimate allowable shear stress given in the code. The shear capacity is calculated using the required bending reinforcement and the shear reinforcement calculated using the normal code formulae. Depending on the option chosen, torsion can be resisted by the section as a whole or by the web portion only. For flanged beams, the torsion is calculated separately for the flange and web along the guidelines given in the code. The torsional shear stresses are checked to not exceed the ultimate allowable shear stress. Reinforcement requirements are also evaluated separately for the flange and web using the normal code formulae. For the Eurocode, the strut-and-tie model is used, and the angle of the struts can be specified within the limits of the code.
