BS 8110-3 1985: Structural use of concrete - Part 3: Design charts for singly reinforced beams, doubly reinforced beams and rectangular columns

This part of BS 8110 covers design charts for singly reinforced beams, doubly reinforced beams and rectangular columns. These design charts cannot be used to obtain the complete detailed design of any member but they may be used as an aid when analyzing the cross section of a member at the ultimate limit state. The charts have been based on the assumptions laid down in BS 8110-1, use being made of the parabolic-rectangular stress block throughout. Full details of the derivation of the charts are given in Appendix.
