This document discusses the design and analysis of reinforced concrete beams according to ACI code. It covers the objectives, design parameters, analysis procedures, and design steps for singly, doubly, and T-beams. Key points include:
- The objectives are to understand ultimate strength design, gain concepts for analyzing singly, doubly, and T-beams, understand design procedures, and know which beam type to consider based on the situation.
- Design parameters include strength reduction factor phi, maximum reinforcement ratio, and serviceability factors like deflection and crack width.
- Analysis of beams involves calculating factored loads, determining moment capacity, and checking if capacity exceeds factored moment.
- Design steps include load calculation,
