DESIGN OF BEAM
LATERALLY SUPPORTED:
STEP 1: FIND OUT ULTIMATE LOAD ON BEAM.
Factored Ultimate Load (Factored Load) w = 1.5 × Working Load
STEP 2: FIND OUT MAXIMUM BENDING MOMENT (M) AND SHEAR FORCE (V) ON BEAM.
STEP 3: CALCULATE PLASTIC SECTION MODULUS REQURIED FOR TRIAL SECTION.

STEP 4: SELECT SUITABLE SECTION BASED ON Zp FROM IS: 800: 2007, PAGE NO. 138, 139. WRITE
DOWN SE TIONAL PROPERTIES.
STEP 5: SECTION CLASSIFICATION.
a. Find out value of b/tf and d/tw . (refer Figure. 2, Page no. 19, IS 800: 2007 to find b and d)
tf = thickness of flange tw = thickness of web.
b. Refer Table 2, Page no. 18, IS 800: 2007 and classify the section semi-compact, compact, plastic or
slender.
STEP 6: CHECK FOR SHEAR. (Clause no. 8.4.1., Page no. 59, IS 800: 2007)
a. Find out design shear strength Vd.

b. Beam is checked for high / low shear case
V ≤ 0.6 Vd low shear case
V > 0.6 Vd high shear case
STEP 6: CHECK FOR BENDING.
a. For low shear Case (Clause no. [Link], Page no. 53, IS 800: 2007)
Md > M
Md = Design Bending Strength
M = Bending Moment

b. For High shear Case (Clause no. [Link], Page no. 53, IS 800: 2007)
Refer Clause no. [Link], Page no. 53, IS 800: 2007. Generally low shear case is preferred.
STEP 7: CHECK FOR WEB BUCKLING AT SUPPORT (Clause no. [Link], Page no. 67, IS 800: 2007)
a. Capacity of section = Abfcd > V
b. Ab = (b1 + n1) tw when load is at support
Ab = (b1 + 2n1) tw when load is not at support

Where, b1= stiff bearing length of load = assume between 0 to 100mm
n1 = for 45˚ dispersion consider h/2
d. Find out Fcd = Design Compressive Stress considering class c and fy = 250 MPa.
