Reinforced Concrete Beam Design and Analysis: Using MathCAD

In this book MathCAD work sheet will be used as a teaching and learning tool for the design and analysis of reinforced concrete beam using ACI code of design. The book has two sample problems that analyze and design both regular and irregular beams. First sample problems explain the use of MathCAD in design and analysis of simple rectangular beam. The 2nd sample problem explain the use of MathCAD in design and analysis of single and double reinforced regular beams such as rectangular beams and irregular beams such as T-beam, L-beam, I -beam and other shapes. In addition to bending reinforcement calculation, the work sheet will calculate the spacing requirement foe shear reinforcement and it will check beam adequacy for the shear. This MathCAD work sheet is intended for civil engineering students and professionals. Civil engineering students can use the work sheet to solve and understand the design and analysis of regular and irregular beams. This worksheet will be followed by other worksheets such as: Design of one way and two way slabs, design of axial and biaxial columns, and design of square, rectangular, and combined foundation.
