Best Answer

Reinforcement is anything that provide additional strength to a beam. In a standard beam reinforcement refers to steel bars.

What is confining reinforcement?

Confining reinforcement refers to reinforcement that is applied in such a way that it "confines" the concrete within it to provide increased strength and deflection capabilities. Confining reinforcement is used in both beam and column designs. In columns, spiral or helix reinforcement is implemented through the column, spiraling from top to bottom, with vertical longitudinal bars running through the inside of the helix. This prevents the concrete's diameter becoming larger under the applied load leading to failure. In correct terms it prevents the poisson's effect within the column. In beams the confining reinforcement is generally place within the compressive region of the beam. This can be utilised to increase the yield deflection of the beam as well as the yield and ultimate loads. This is a good option for increasing the ductility of high strength concrete beams which would normally fail in a brittle manner.


What is the purpose of compression reinforcement in beams?

Steel is stronger than concrete. By adding some reinforcement in the compression zone of a beam, it's bending strength can be increased without increasing the size of the beam. The steel increases the compression strength, while the concrete prevents the slender steel bars from buckling.

What is the difference between the singly reinforced beam and doubly reinforced beam?

A singly reinforced beam only has steel reinforcement on the tension side (along the bottom of the cross section) where as a doubly reinforced beam has steel reinforcement on both the tension and compression sides, ie. the top and bottom of the cross section.
