Process for designing a concrete beam with minimum reinforcement

This is a useful construction video that shows the step-by-step process for designing a rectangular concrete beam with lowest reinforcement.

This video demonstrates the ACI provisions for least steel in a concrete beam division. Explicitly, the designed section contains less steel compared with the least permissible under ACI section 10.5.1, and applies the provisions of section 10.5.3 to meet minimum steel requirements.

The “Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete” (“Code”) highlights the materials, design, and construction of structural concrete utilized in buildings and where relevant in non-building Structures. The Code also focuses on the strength assessment of prevailing concrete structures.

ACI 318 Building Code Requirements for Structural Concrete offers minimum constraints for the design and construction of structural concrete members of any structure founded under the requisites of a general building code that integrates it. It is supplied and managed by the American Concrete Institute.
