Design steps for SRB

1. Basic data
Enter the values of b ,L, Fck, Fy, clear cover,Mu,Vu
Assume diameter and number of bars
Assume d/b ratio = 1.5 to 3 and calculate dprov.

2. Effective span
Leff = min. of { c/c dist. b/w supports and L+d}

3. Factored SF & BM
Self wt. of beam = b*D*unit wt. of concrete
Factored load, wu = 1.5*(S.D.L + self wt.)
𝑤𝑢 ∗𝐿2 𝑒𝑓𝑓
Factored BM, Mu =

𝑤𝑢 ∗𝐿𝑒𝑓𝑓
Factored SF, Vu =

Mulim = Qlim * b * 𝑑2

If Mu < Mulim , Design as SRB

& Mu > Mulim , Design as DRB
5. Design for shear reinforcement

√1+5𝛽−1 0.8∗𝑓𝑐𝑘
• τc = 0.85 * √(0.87 ∗ 𝑓𝑐𝑘) * where 𝛽 =
6∗𝛽 6.89∗𝑝𝑡
𝑉𝑢
• τv =
𝑏∗𝑑
• if τv < τc , therefore OK but provide minimum shear
reinforcement.
• If τv > τc , design for shear is necessary
• Assume dia. Stirrups and calculate spacing as follows:
0.87∗𝑓𝑦∗𝐴𝑠𝑣
Sv =
𝑏(τv − τc)

The provided spacing should not exceed :

i. 0.75d
ii. 300mm
0.87∗𝑓𝑦∗𝐴𝑠𝑣
iii. (Spacing for min. shear R/F)
0.4∗𝑏

6. Check for deflection

As per IS 456-2000, to satisfy the deflection critieria,

• (L/d)actual < (L/d)permissible

• (L/d)permissible = 20 * M.F (For S.S.B as per IS 456-2000, pg-37)

And M.F from graph on pg-38 of IS 456-2000.

Ld = 47φ
