Beam Dimensions (m)

Length *

Width *

Depth *

UDL Load (kN/m) *

Concrete Grade

Steel Grade

Steel Percentage (%) *

Range: 1-3% (typical)

Formulas Used

M = wL^2/8, V = wL/2

Required Steel Area = M / (fy x Lever Arm)

Moment Capacity = As x fy x Lever Arm

Shear Capacity ~ 0.5 x sqrt(fc) x b x d

RCC Beam Design Calculator -- Practical Guide

Estimate moments, shear and reinforcement checks for educational RCC beam sizing workflows.

Ultimate load

wu = 1.5 × (DL + LL)

Max moment (simply supported)

Mu = wuL² / 8

Max shear

Vu = wuL / 2

Limiting moment

Mu,lim = 0.138 fck b d²

Grade	fck (MPa)	Typical Use	Notes
M20	20	Residential beams	Minimum common RCC grade
M25	25	General building beams	Better durability
M30	30	Higher load frames	Improved stiffness
