Reinforced Concrete Beam Analysis - Part II

Moment capacity and analysis of reinforce concrete beams with Ultimate strength design method (Limit State Design)

This course, includes a full and detailed process of calculating bending moment capacity of a Reinforced Concrete Beam with ultimate strength design method as per ACI method. In this course, you will learn about: 1. The basics and assumptions of ultimate strength design method for analysing reinforced concrete sections. 2. Overview of ultimate strength design conditions for Under-Reinforced beams, Balanced beams, and Over-Reinforced beam. 3. Detailed process of analysing a Balanced beam with ultimate strength design method. 4. Detailed process of analysing an Under-Reinforced beam with the ultimate strength design method (formula and the general process of calculating bending moment capacity and stress/strain values for concrete and steel reinforcement). 5. Calculating the bending moment capacity of a Singly reinforced beam with no steel reinforcement in compression 6. Calculating the bending moment capacity of a Doubly reinforced beam with steel reinforcement in compression 7. Checking if the steel reinforcements in tension and compression are at yield 8. Detailed process of analysing an Over-reinforced beam with ultimate strength design method, formulas and the general process of calculating bending moment capacity and stress/strain values for concrete and steel reinforcement and how does the design codes will avoid brittle failure of these beams. We will also have working examples for a comprehensive study of all design conditions with ultimate strength design method: • Working example for an ultimate strength design of an under-reinforced beam which includes: • Working example of the ultimate strength design of an Over-reinforced beam and calculating bending moment capacity of a singly reinforced beam with no steel reinforcement in compression. By the end of this course, you will learn about the fundamentals and detailed process of calculating the bending moment capacity of a reinforced concrete beam as per ultimate strength design theory as a limit state design and will be able to analyse any concrete section with this method.
