STEPS FOR DESIGN OF RECTANGULAR BEAM
Hi guys today i am going to tell you very important topic "Steps for design rectangular Beam"so read it out till the end and follow us on google+ and i will give you link of my YouTube channel you can subscribe to watch the civil engineering related videos so lets get start-
MAIN STEPS FOR DESIGN RECTANGULAR BEAM ARE FOLLOWS-
1.How to find out depth of beam
Depth of beam = L/16
Where L = Length of Beam , 16 = constant value
Ex- if length of beam L = 8 meter
So Depth of Beam , D = 8 / 16
D = 0.5 Meter.
2.How To Find Out Breath Of Beam
Breath of beam = 50% - 60 % of depth of beam
Depth of beam = 0.5 Meter
So
Breath of Beam = 0.25 to 0.30 meter
3.How to find out self weight of the Beam
SELF WEIGHT = B x D x density of concrete
B = Breath & D = depth of beam
density of concrete without steel W = 145 - 154 lbs/ft³ or Cft..
