CONTINUOUS BEAM ANALYSIS AND DESIGN OF REINFORCED CONCRETE

the design moments by redistributing the sagging span moments upward as well. Shear forces are adjusted appropriately to maintain equilibrium.
The various design codes follow similar proportions for dividing flat slabs into column and middle strips. The module follows a rational approach by using the column and middle strip proportions specified in BS 8110 - 1997, and then adjusting the strips widths to simplify reinforcement detailing.
Continuous Beam calculates elastic (short-term) and long-term deflections. In both cases, it uses the SLS loading with no moment redistribution. Adjustments are made for concrete cracking in the long-term deflection calculation.
