| DESIGN
OF DEEP BEAM WITH/WITHOUT CUTOUTS PROGRAM INFO/LIMITATIONS : ( Actual program is available in Super Civil CD ) |
| This program designs deep beam without cutout as per IS: 456-2000, however it checks the shear as per ACI code. |
| Deep beam with cutout is designed using British Practice. |
| Salient features are as under : |
| A
beam will be defined as Deep, If L/D < 2.0 & beam is simply supported. If L/D < 2.5 & beam is continuous. |
| Shear check is not required as per IS:456-2000. |
| + Ve reinforcement shall extend between support without curtailment
& shall be anchored 0.80 * Ld in to the support. 50 % of -ve reinforcement can be cut at a distance of 0.50 * D from the face of the support. Reminder shall continue over the full span. |
| Minimum horizontal steel = 0.20 %, & Maximum = 4 %. Minimum vertical steel = 0.12 % |
| Width
of the beam shall be > of the following to avoid buckling. D/25. { D = depth } L/50. { L = length } |
| Applied bending is checked against beam capacity. |
| Fy = 415 N/mm2 |
| In case of beams with cutouts, the clear distance between soffit of beam & cutout shall be > D/5 |
| Spacing
of reinforcements shall not be greater than the following : 3 * width of beam 450 MM. |
