Doubly Reinforced Beam Design

1. Doubly reinforced concrete beams have steel reinforcement on both the tension and compression sides. This is useful when a beam's cross section cannot provide the required bending strength with only tension reinforcement. 2. Compression reinforcement increases a beam's strength, ductility, and reduces deflections from shrinkage and creep. It also aids fabrication by holding stirrups. 3. The example shows the design of a doubly reinforced concrete beam with a moment of 1225 kN.m that cannot be designed as singly reinforced due to insufficient ductility. Compression steel is added 70 mm from the face to satisfy design requirements.

Design of doubly reinforced beams
Doubly Reinforced Rectangular Sections
Beams having steel reinforcement on both the tension and
compression sides are called doubly reinforced sections. Doubly
reinforced sections are useful in the case of limited cross sectional
dimensions being unable to provide the required bending strength.
Increasing the area of reinforcement in tension, without increasing
the area of reinforcement in compression, makes the section brittle.

Reasons for Providing Compression Reinforcement
1- Increased strength.

2- Increased ductility.

3- Reduced sustained load deflections due to shrinkage and creep.

4- Ease of fabrication. Use corner bars to hold & anchor stirrups.

Example 1
Design the beam shown in the figure to resist Mu=1225 kN.m. The
dimensions of the beam cannot be increased. Check if the section can
be designed as singly reinforced. If compression steel is required,
place it 70 mm from the compression face.
fc’ =21 MPa and fy = 420 MPa.

Solution:
1) Try first to design the section as a singly reinforced section:
0.85 f c '  2 Mu 
=  1 − 1 − 
fy   0 . 85 f c ' b d 2

0.85 ( 21 )  2 1225 106 
= 1 − 1 −  = 0.0284
420  0 .9  0 .85  21  350  700 2 
 
As= ρ b d = 0.0284350700 = 6947 mm2
8 Use 10 Φ30 mm in two rows (As,sup =7069 mm2)
Example 1
2 ) Check the ductility of the singly reinforced section:
As f y 7069  420 a 475
a= = = 475 mm  c= = = 559 mm
0.85 f c ' b 0.85  21 350 1 0.85
 d −c  700 − 559 
 et =   0.003 =   0.003 = 0.00076  0.005  Section is brittle!
 c   559 
Dimensions cannot be increased → section cannot be designed as singly reinforced
 Use compression reinforcement.
