Solved RC Beam and Deflection

The document provides solved MATLAB programs for the design of reinforced concrete (RC) beams, detailing the calculations for flexural reinforcement and deflection under various loading conditions. It includes parameters for a doubly reinforced beam, calculating required tension steel and moments, as well as deflection and slope for both uniformly distributed and point loads. Key results include total tension steel required of 1892.17 mm² and deflections of 0.060 mm and 0.048 mm for the respective load cases.

Solved MATLAB Programs for RC Beam Design and Beam Deflection

A) Flexural Reinforcement for RC Beam (Singly and Doubly Reinforced)

Given:
b = 300 mm
d = 500 mm
Mu = 150e6 N.mm = 150 kNm
fck = 25 MPa
fy = 500 MPa

xu_max = 0.48*d = 240 mm


Mu_limit = 0.138*fck*b*d^2 = 0.138*25*300*500^2 = 129375000 N.mm

Since Mu = 150e6 > Mu_limit = 129.375e6, it is a doubly reinforced beam.

For singly part:


Ast1 = Mu_limit / (0.87 * fy * (d - 0.42*xu_max))
= 129375000 / (0.87*500*(500 - 0.42*240)) = 839.48 mm^2

Remaining moment: Mu2 = Mu - Mu_limit = 150e6 - 129.375e6 = 20.625e6 N.mm


Assume d' = 50 mm

Ast2 = Mu2 / (0.87 * fy * (d - d'))


= 20625000 / (0.87*500*(500 - 50)) = 1052.69 mm^2

Total Tension Steel Required = Ast1 + Ast2 = 839.48 + 1052.69 = 1892.17 mm^2
B) Slope and Deflection of a Simply Supported Beam

Case 1: Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL)


Given: L = 6 m, w = 10 kN/m = 10000 N/m, E = 25 GPa = 25e9 Pa, I = 3e-5 m^4

Deflection = (5*w*L^4)/(384*E*I)
= (5*10000*6^4)/(384*25e9*3e-5)
= 0.060 mm

Slope = (w*L^3)/(24*E*I)
= (10000*6^3)/(24*25e9*3e-5)
= 0.0012 rad

Case 2: Point Load at Center


P = 20 kN = 20000 N

Deflection = (P*L^3)/(48*E*I)
= (20000*6^3)/(48*25e9*3e-5)
= 0.048 mm

Slope = (P*L^2)/(16*E*I)
= (20000*6^2)/(16*25e9*3e-5)
= 0.0010 rad
