Specialized tools for calculating nominal moment (Mn) and designing reinforcement in reinforced concrete beams. Based on ACI 318 for rectangular, T, and L sections with minimum and maximum reinforcement checks.
Specialized calculator to determine the nominal moment (Mn) in rectangular reinforced concrete sections. Calculates ultimate flexural strength considering single or double reinforcement, verifying minimum ratios per ACI 318 and ductile failure conditions.
Tool for calculating ultimate flexural strength in T sections, typical in monolithic beam-slab systems. Automatically identifies whether the neutral axis is within the flange or web, applying the corresponding ACI 318 equations.
Calculator for edge beams or L sections in slab-beam systems. Analyzes the flange’s contribution in compression and calculates nominal moment considering the asymmetrical geometry of these structural sections.
Inverse tool that determines the required reinforcement (As) in rectangular sections to resist a given ultimate moment (Mu). Calculates required steel area, checks code limits, and suggests practical bar arrangements.
The nominal moment (Mn) is the theoretical maximum flexural strength of a reinforced concrete section, calculated based on the properties of concrete, steel reinforcement, and section geometry. In structural design according to ACI 318, the nominal moment is multiplied by a strength reduction factor (φ) to obtain the design moment (φMn), which must be greater than or equal to the ultimate moment (Mu).
