Reinforced Concrete
January 10th, 2011
Where can I find the maxiumum spans for reinforced concrete construction (without using columns)?
I’m an architecture student and I haven’t been able to find this anywhere. The structure will have load bearing walls and joists, but I need to know how much I can span before finalizing the details of the floorplan.
Reinforced concrete is a very poor building material for beams due to the fact that concrete has zero tensile strength in tension. A more realistic building material for a beam would be prestressed concrete or steel. Prestressed concrete beams can cross a very long distance without a column to support them, however they become very deep as the get longer making them impractical. That is why most beams are made of steel which is much more shallow giving you more usable space in a structure. The most common limiting factor on how long a beam can be inside a structure is actually the length of the truck hauling the beam. The longest truck bed allowed by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) is 53′. A beam supporting 53′ would probably be about 3′ deep and then you would have to leave room for air ducts below that so for every 10′ of usable space you would have somewhere around 5′ between floors. It would be better to add columns at about 30′-40′ intervals and save space between floors. That would only take up about 3′-4′ between floors.
