Ultimate Strength Design Conditions for Beams: concept of Under-reinforced beam, Balanced beams and Over-reinforced beam
Detailed process of analysing a balanced reinforced concrete beam with ultimate strength design method
Detailed process of analysing an under-reinforced beam with ultimate strength design method (formula and the general process of calculating bending moment capacity and stress/strain values for concrete and steel reinforcement)
Working example for a ultimate strength design of an under-reinforced beam which includes: Calculating the bending moment capacity of a single reinforced beam with no steel reinforcement in compression - Calculating the bending moment capacity of a doubly reinforced beam with steel reinforcement in compression - How to check if our steel reinforcement in tension and compression are at yield
Detailed process of analysing an over-reinforced beam with ultimate strength design method (formula and the general process of calculating bending moment capacity and stress/strain values for concrete and steel reinforcement) and how does the design code will avoid brittle failure of these beams.
Working example for a ultimate strength design of an over-reinforced beam which includes: calculating the bending moment capacity of a single reinforced beam with no steel reinforcement in compression

Our other course "Reinforced Concrete Beam Analysis - Part II" will be very helpful to understand the process
Description
In this course, I will explain the full and detailed process of calculating the bending moment capacity of a reinforced concrete beam with ultimate strength design method.
The course will start with the basics and assumptions of with ultimate strength design method for analyzing reinforced concrete sections.
We will look at the ultimate strength design conditions for beams which are under-reinforced beam, balanced beams, and over-reinforced beam
We will go through the detailed process of analyzing a balanced beam with ultimate strength design method.
Then will explain the whole process of analyzing 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)
Working example for an ultimate strength design of an under-reinforced beam which includes
- Calculating the bending moment capacity of a singly reinforced beam with no steel reinforcement in compression
- Calculating the bending moment capacity of a doubly reinforced beam with steel reinforcement in compression
- How to check if the steel reinforcement in tension and compression are at yield
In the next part, we will look at the detailed process of analyzing an over-reinforced beam with ultimate strength design method which includes formulas and the general process of calculating bending moment capacity and stress/strain values for concrete and steel reinforcement and how does the design code will avoid brittle failure of these beams.
We will also have a 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 analyze any concrete section with this method.
My goal is to add value to my students by conveying my knowledge and explaining the theoretical concept behind the design, so please do not hesitate to ask if you ask any questions through the message box here or any other social media links which are provided in our page.
