by Douglas Dong Woo Lee, (M.ASCE), Consulting Structural Engr.; Carter and Burgess, Inc., Ft. Worth, Texas,


Serial Information: Civil Engineering—ASCE, 1982, Vol. 52, Issue 3, Pg. 71-71


Document Type: Feature article

Abstract:

In the design of reinforced concrete beams, after loadings and materials are defined, the first step is to assume a beam depth. Then the required steel area and beam width are determined. A simple one-step formula is proposed to perform a preliminary design and strength check.
