Mid span design

Midspan moment per metre width; Mspan = 0.125  F  L2 = 170.311 kNm/m
Diameter of tension reinforcement; span = 20 mm
Depth of reinforcement; dspan = hspan - cnom - span / 2 = 165 mm

Design formula for rectangular beams (cl 3.4.4.4)

Moment redistribution ratio; b = 1.00
Kspan = Mspan / (dspan2  fcu) = 0.179
K’span = 0.156
WARNING - Kspan > K'span compression reinforcement is required, beyond scope of calculation

Upper landing support design

Diameter of tension reinforcement; upper = 20 mm
Depth of reinforcement; dupper = hupper - cnom - upper / 2 = 165 mm
Area of tension reinforcement required; As_upper_req = 0.4  As_span_req = 1306 mm2/m
Minimum area of tension reinforcement; As_upper_min = 260 mm2/m
Tension reinforcement provided; 20 dia.bars @ 200 centres
Area of tension reinforcement provided; As_upper_prov = 1571 mm2/m
PASS - Tension reinforcement provided exceeds tension reinforcement required
Shear stress in beam (cl 3.4.5.2)
Design shear force; Vupper = 0.500  F  L = 78.385 kN/m
Design shear stress; vupper = Vupper / dupper = 0.475 N/mm2
Allowable design shear stress; vmax = min(0.8N/mm2  (fcu / 1 N/mm2), 5 N/mm2) = 4.733 N/mm2
PASS - Design shear stress does not exceed allowable shear stress
From BS 8110:Part 1:1997 - Table 3.8
Design concrete shear stress; vc_upper = 0.868 N/mm2
PASS - Design shear stress does not exceed design concrete shear stress

Lower landing support design

Diameter of tension reinforcement; lower = 20 mm
