Introduction
If a beam cross section is limited because of
architectural or other considerations, it may
happen that concrete cannot develop the
compression force required to resist the given
bending moment.
In this case, reinforcing steel bars are added
in the compression zone, resulting in a socalled doubly reinforced beam, that is one
with compression as well as tension
reinforcement (Figure 21)

ENCE 454 Assakkaf
Introduction (contd)
The use of compression reinforcement has
decreased markedly with the use of strength
design methods, which account for the full
strength potential of the concrete on the
compressive side of the neutral axis.
However, there are situations in which
compressive reinforcement is used for
reasons other than strength.
Slide No. 4
ENCE 454 Assakkaf
Introduction (contd)
It has been found that the inclusion of some
compression steel has the following
advantages:
It will reduce the long-term deflections of members.
It will set a minimum limit on bending loading
It act as stirrup-support bars continuous through
out the beam span
Slide No. 5
ENCE 454 Assakkaf
Introduction (contd)
Another reason for placing reinforcement in
the compression zone is that when beams
span more than two supports (continuous
construction), both positive and negative
moments will exist as shown in Figure 23.
In Figure 23, positive moments exist at A and
C; therefore, the main tensile reinforcement
would be placed in the bottom of the beam.
At B, however, a negative moment exists and
the bottom of the beam is in compression.
The tensile reinforcement, therefore, must be
placed near the top of the beam.
