Program Description:
"RECTBEAM" is a spreadsheet program written in MS-Excel for the purpose of analysis/design of rectangular beam or column sections. Specifically, the ultimate moment capacity, bar spacing for crack control, moments of inertia for deflection, beam shear and torsion requirements, and member capacity for flexure (uniaxial and biaxial) with axial load are calculated. There is also a worksheet which contains reinforcing bar data tables.

Description
This documentation sheet Beam flexure, shear, crack control, and inertia Ultimate moment capacity of singly or doubly reinforced beams/sections Crack control - distribution of flexural reinforcing Beam or one-way type shear Beam torsion and shear Moments of inertia of singly or doubly reinforced beams/sections Combined uniaxial flexure and axial load Combined biaxial flexure and axial load Reinforcing bar data tables
10. In the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets, for pure moment capacity with no axial load, the program assumes bars in 2 outside faces parallel to axis of bending plus 50% of the total area of the side bars divided equally by and added to the 2 outside faces, and program calculates reinforcing areas as follows: for X-axis: As = A's = ((Ntb*Abt) + (0.50*Nsb*Abs))/2 for Y-axis: As = A's = ((Nsb*Asb+4*Atb) + (0.50*(Ntb-4)*Atb))/2 11. In the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets, for Point #8 (fPn = 0.1*f'c*Ag) on the interaction curve the corresponding value of fMn is determined from interpolation between the moment values at Point #7 (balanced condition, f = 0.65) and Point #9 (pure flexure, f <= 0.90). 12. In the "Complete Analysis" and "Flexure" worksheets as well as the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets (for Point #9, pure flexure) the program first determines the strain in tension reinforcing (et), then the capacity reduction factor (f),and finally ultimate moment capacity (fMn) based on actual input reinforcing. a. For et >= 0.005 ("tension-controlled" section): f = 0.90. b. For fy/Es < et < 0.005 ("transition" section): f = 0.65+0.25*(et-fy/Es)/(0.005-fy/Es) < 0.90 (Es=29000 ksi) c. For et <= fy/Es ("compression-controlled" section): f = 0.65 Note: the ACI 318-05 Code requires that the strain in the tension reinforcing (et) >= 0.004 for both singly and doubly reinforced sections. 13. In the "Uniaxial" and "Biaxial" worksheets, design capacities, fPn and fMn, at design eccentricity, e = Mu*12/Pu, are determined from interpolation within the interaction curve for the applicable axis. 14. In the "Biaxial" worksheet, the biaxial capacity is determined by the following approximations: a. For Pu >= 0.1*f'c*Ag, use Bresler Reciprocal Load equation: 1/fPn = 1/fPnx + 1/fPny - 1/fPo Biaxial interaction stress ratio, S.R. = Pu/fPn <= 1 b. For Pu < 0.1*f'c*Ag, use Bresler Load Contour interaction equation: Biaxial interaction stress ratio, S.R. = (Mux/fMnx)^1.15 + (Muy/fMny)^1.15 <= 1 15. The "Rebar Data" worksheet contains tables of reinforcing bar data which include various bar properties, reinforcing bar areas based on spacing, and various plain welded wire fabric properties. 16. This program contains numerous comment boxes which contain a wide variety of information including explanations of input or output items, equations used, data tables, etc. (Note: presence of a comment box is denoted by a red triangle in the upper right-hand corner of a cell. Merely move the mouse pointer to the desired cell to view the contents of that particular "comment box".)

Straight development and Class "B" splice lengths shown in above tables are based on uncoated bars assuming center-to-center bar spacing >= 3*db without ties or stirrups or >= 2*db with ties or stirrups, and bar clear cover >= 1.0*db. Normal weight concrete as well as no transverse reinforcing are both assumed. 2. Standard 90 deg. hook embedment lengths are based on bar side cover >= 2.5" and bar end cover >= 2" without ties around hook. 3. For special seismic considerations, refer to ACI 318-05 Code Chapter 21.
