Flanged (T) beam section
Calculation of main and links reinforcement for flanged (T) beam in accordance with BS EN 1992-1-1:2004 and UK National
Annex to BS EN 1992-1-1:2004 using the equivalent rectangular concrete stress block method
Section details

Flange width of the beam b = 1000 mm

Ratio of redistribution of moments

Co-efficient for moment redistribution - k1 (UK National Annex to EC2-Subclause 5.5(4)-Table NA.1)

K is less than K'. Hence design the section as singly reinforced section.

Allowed crack width
Wk = 0.30 mm
all
Maximum bar spacing for the parameters Wk and
all ser
The actual stress in tension reinf't is less 160 MPa, the max bar spacing falls outside the range. Hence the max bar spacing is
considered as 300 mm.
S = 300.00 mm
Hmax
Actual clear horizontal spacing between the tension bars in layer1 exceeds the maximum bar spacing limit for crack
control. Hence maximum bar spacing will be considered for design.
