Test: Beam - Question 1

The side face reinforcement in the deep beam shall NOT be less than

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 1

Side face reinforcement:
Side face reinforcement shall be provided as per CI. 26.5.1.3 and 26.5.17(6) of IS 456:2000

  • Beam depth > 450 mm (if beam subjected to torsion)
  • Beam depth > 750 mm (if beam not subjected to torsion)
  • Provide @ 0.1% OR 0.001 times of web area and distribute it equally on both side faces

NOTE:
In question it is not mentioned, wether the beam is subjected to torsion or not, so we have selected the most appropriate option, as correct option for beam subjected to torsion ie 450 mm is not given in the solution. We have to go for 750 ie for beam not subjected to torsion.

Test: Beam - Question 2

What is beam?

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 2

Beam is a structural member subjected to transverse loads that is loads perpendicular to its longitudinal axis. The mode of deflection of beam is primarily by bending.

Test: Beam - Question 3

What is the working moment of resistance for a beam of width 300 mm and effective depth 450 mm having tension reinforcement 3 - 25 mm dia bars of Fe415 and concrete of Grade M25?

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 3

Moment of resistance for under reinforced beam is given by:
MOR = 0.87× fy × Ast(d - 0.42Xu)
Where, Xu = Depth of neutral axis, Ast = Area of reinforcement
Depth of neutral axis is calculated as:
Compression force = Tension force
0.36 fck b Xu = 0.87 fy Ast
Calculation:
Given,
d = 450 mm, b = 300 mm
M25 and Fe415

We know that,
Depth of Neutral Axis (xu):

Ulyimtae MOR is given as:
Mu = 0.87 fy.Ast.(d - 0.42Xu)
Mu = 0.87×415× 1472.62 (450- 0.42 × 196.9)
Mu =  195290598.7 N-mm
Mu = 195.29 kN-m 
Working MOR = 
= 195.29/1.5
Working MOR = 130.19 kN-m

Test: Beam - Question 4

Structural members subjected to bending and large axial compressive loads are known as

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 4

Structural members subjected to bending accompanied by large axial compressive loads at the same time are known as beam-column. A beam-column differs from column only by presence of eccentricity of load application, end moment, transverse load.

Test: Beam - Question 5

The spacing between two vertical stirrups in a rectangular RCC beam is:

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 5

Assuming a simply supported reinforced concrete beam carrying uniformly distributed load of intensity w kN/m over the span length 'L'.
The maximum shear force would be produced at the supports and the shear force at the center of the span is zero.
∴ The maximum shear resistance is required at the ends of the supports and the minimum at the center of the span.
Shear reinforcement shall be provided in any of the following forms:
a) Vertical stirrups
b) The bent-up bar along with stirrups
c) Inclined stirrups

Important Points

  • Stirrups are provided to take up the shear stress in the rectangular beam.
  • Spacing is the distance between each consecutive stirrup.
  • And we know from earlier that the shear force acts more near the support
  • So to take up that shear stress, more stirrups need to be present at the support rather than the middle of the beam.

Note that, the shear reinforcement increases as the spacing among the stirrups decreases and vice versa.
As the shear strength requirement is more at the supports than the center, the spacing of stirrups decreases towards the end of the beam.

Test: Beam - Question 6

What is girt?

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 6

Girt is horizontal member fastened to and spanning between peripheral column of industrial buildings. It is used to support wall cladding such as corrugated metal sheet.

Test: Beam - Question 7

A beam 300 mm depth and of symmetrical I section has a I = 1 x 108 mm4 and is simply supported over a span of 6 m. Calculate the udl it may carry if the max bending stress is not to exceed 100 N/mm2 

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 7

When a simply supported beam of length l is subjected with UDL of 'w' N/m. The maximum bending moment introduced in the beam is given by.

Max stress induced in the shaft is given by, 
ZN.A = Section modulus of the cross−section = (bd2/6) m3 , where, b = length of the cross-section and d = depth of the cross-section
Failure criteria, σmax ≤  Maximum strength of the beam.
Calculation:
Given:
w = Intensity of UDL in kN/m
L = 6 m, b = 300 mm = 0.3 m, σmax = 100 N/mm2

w = 14.81 kN/m
∴ The intensity of UDL is 14.81 kN/m

Test: Beam - Question 8

Members used to carry wall loads over wall openings are called

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 8

Lintels are beam members used to carry wall loads over wall openings for doors, windows, etc.

Test: Beam - Question 9

The minimum tension reinforcement in beam should not be less than______.

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 9
  • A minimum area of tension steel is required in flexural members (like beams) in order to resist the effect of loads and also control the cracking in concrete due to shrinkage and temperature variations.
  • Minimum flexural steel reinforcement in beams: CI. 26.5.1.1 of IS 456:2000 specify the minimum area of reinforcing steel as:


= 0.34% for Fe 250
= 0.205% for Fe 415
= 0.17% for Fe 500
For flanged beams, replace 'b' with the width of web 'bw'
Important Points

  • The maximum area of tension steel in beams(Intension beams as well as compression beam) provided as per IS 456:2000 = 4% of gross area
  • The minimum area of tension steel in the slab as per CI. 26.5.2 of IS 456:2000 
    • Astmin = 0.15% of gross area for Fe 250
    • Astmin = 0.12% of gross area for Fe 415

Confusion Points

  • Minimum flexural steel reinforcement in the slab is based on shrinkage and temperature consideration and not on strength consideration because, in slabs, there occurs a better distribution of loads effects unlike in beams, where minimum steel requirement is based on strength consideration.
Test: Beam - Question 10

What is the minimum area of tension reinforcement in beams when Fe 415 is used?

Detailed Solution for Test: Beam - Question 10

As per IS 456 : 2000,
a) Minimum % tension reinforcement:

b) Maximum % tension reinforcement:
pmax = 4%of gross area
Calculation:
Minimum percentage of steel (for Fe500)

= 0.2%
∴ Minimum percentage of steel (for Fe415) is 0.2
