Overview
This design assignment has been formulated to provide you with a chance to apply the theories
introduced in EGB375 to design a simple structural element and develop an appreciation of overall
structural design process. You will work on a real-life building scenario to design a concrete beam. The
submission will be is two stages: initial design in a form of poster presentation (10%) for feedback and
final design report (30%).
Scenario
A medium rise building in Maleny, QLD has been planned to have reinforced concrete slab system
supported on concrete beams as shown in Figure 1. The principal engineer has proposed to use 25MPa
concrete (unit weight 25kN/m3) for the concrete floor system of this building. You are required to
analyse and design BEAM 1 as marked in Figure 1 for carrying the load of typical floor of this building.
The design tasks to be undertaken are explained in the next section.

Page 1 of 7
The required design data for BEAM 1 is given below. You can assume suitable values for any missing
data. State your assumptions clearly.
• Proposed beam size: b = 200mm (web), D = 400mm (total depth including slab)
• Thickness of floor slab = 170mm
• Proposed column cross-section = 200mm × 350mm
• Self-weight of beam (including slab self-weight transferred onto beam) = 5.5 /
• Uniform permanent dead load of flooring and other services transferred onto beam = 2 /
• Uniform imposed live load onto the beam = 2.5 /
• Concentrated permanent dead load of secondary beam reaction = 20
• Concentrated imposed live load of internal beam reaction at midspan = 7
• Clear cover to reinforcement = 30mm
• Total allowable deflection = Span/250
What you will do
You will need to complete this design assignment in two stages. These design stages with respective tasks
description are explained below.
STAGE 1 – Initial Design through Poster Presentation
This design stage accounts for 10% of your grades. You will carry on the following tasks in this stage and
then prepare a poster for presenting in the lecture/tutorial class of Week 7.
Tasks for Stage 1:
1. Draw the beam elevation schematically supported on column/wall with centre-to-centre span
length and the loading on top.
2. Determine the magnitude of the ultimate design loads w* and P*
3. Determine the design bending moment M*
4. Design the area of steel required for the calculated M*
5. Communicate your design through neat sketches with comments/justification.
Instructions:
• Try to present a unique beam design to differentiate your design from your peers. You may choose
one of these concrete beam types:
➢ Rectangular singly reinforced RC beam
➢ Rectangular doubly reinforced RC beam
➢ Rectangular post tensioned PSC beam (use 12.7mm strands, = 40 and = 20 )
• For RC beam choice, you can find tensile steel, by using ∅ = ∗ . Or trial and error method
can be used by assuming steel bars and satisfying the moment and ductility demand.
• For PSC beam choice, use Magnel equations to find the required prestressing force and prestressing
strands.
• Your unique beam design must be in bounds of conventional design norms and standards such as
selected bar size should not be less than N12, there should be at least 2 bars in each layer of
reinforcement and centre-to-centre spacing between the bars should not be less than 3 .
• Your beam should satisfy the ductility requirements of AS3600 and should be safe against the
applied moment.
• Include references from Australian Concrete Standards (AS3600-2018) where possible.
• Use the poster template provided to ensure that all required design parameters are included.
• Soft copy of poster is due before presentations in Week 7. Check the due date in Canvas.
• Oral presentation should be strictly 2 min. The presentations will be carried out in Week 7’s lecture
and tutorial sessions. Schedule of presentation with student names/times/dates will be available in
Week 5.

STAGE 2 – Final Design through Report
This design stage accounts for 30% of your grades. You will carry on the following tasks in this stage and
then prepare a professional design report for submission.
Tasks for Stage 2:
1. Improve your beam design (if needed) based on the feedback provided on the poster presentation.
2. Check the serviceability of the designed beam.
3. Design the beam for shear.
4. Communicate your design with comments, justifications and neat sketches.
Instructions:
• Serviceability should be checked according to the beam type selected in the Stage 1.
(Remember that gross moment of inertia, cracked moment of inertia, cracking moment, design
short-term and long-term bending moments will be needed irrespective of your beam choice)
➢ RC beam choice: Calculate the tensile steel stresses, crack width and total deflection of beam.
Check all quantities against the allowable limits. Provide comments on the safety and possible
solution if the limits are not satisfied. No need to repeat your design if the allowable limits are
not satisfied.
➢ PSC beam choice: Calculate the stresses in concrete at transfer and service stages and check if
these are within the limits. Calculate and check the total deflection of beam against the
allowable limit. Provide comments on the safety and possible solution if the limits are not
satisfied. No need to repeat your design if the allowable limits are not satisfied.
• Include references from Australian Concrete Standards (AS3600-2018) where possible.
• Show stepwise design procedure, formulae with input values and sketches.
• Final design should be presented with professional sketches and justification/ comments.
• Your final design report should include complete design of concrete beam (i.e., tasks from both
stages 1 and 2). This means you should include flexural design of beam (calculation of steel
reinforcement), moment capacity check, serviceability check and shear design.
To complete this assignment, you will:
• ensure that you work on the assignment regularly from the day of release until the day you
submit.
• receive formative feedback from your tutor/ lecturer.
• use discussion board to post any queries related to the assignment (a separate forum has been
set-up for this purpose) to interact with each other and with the teaching team.
What you will submit/present (what artefacts will be used to judge your performance?)
You are required to submit/present the following:
• Stage 1: Poster submission as a pdf file adhering to the template provided in the Canvas.
• Stage 1: Oral presentation (max. 1.5 minutes) of poster in the lecture/tutorial class in Week 7 (as
per provided schedule) to get feedback from the lecturer.
• Stage 2: Final report submission which should include a declaration statement (template attached)
with your signature, solution to stage 1 and 2 tasks completed with step-by-step procedure,
showing data, equations, sketches and arguments wherever needed in a single pdf with file name
containing the student ID. (Neatly handwritten reports are acceptable).
