Reinforced Concrete Design | Doubly Reinforced Beams Tutorial: Worked Examples | Eurocode 2

Welcome to this Reinforced Concrete Design tutorial, where we work through the full design of doubly reinforced concrete beams to Eurocode 2. This session explains when compression reinforcement is required, how to design it, and how to complete a full set of reinforcement checks using practical worked examples. 📌 In this tutorial, we: ✅ Explain why doubly reinforced sections are used ✅ Review the behaviour of doubly reinforced beams using stress–strain and bi-linear diagrams ✅ Work through two complete examples of doubly reinforced beam design ✅ Determine whether compression steel yields and how this affects design ✅ Design compression reinforcement ✅ Calculate required tension reinforcement ✅ Apply reinforcement checks This tutorial is ideal for students and practitioners looking to strengthen their understanding of when and how to design doubly reinforced RC sections. 🏢 This series has been developed by Dr Leon Chernin and Dr Margi Vilnay. 👷‍♀️ Delivered by Dr Margi Vilnay – Senior Lecturer in Structural Engineering, Chartered Engineer, and Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy. 🔎 Follow the full Reinforced Concrete Design series 📚 Watch the complete playlist for all lectures: https://bit.ly/3JWCPGy 👉 Subscribe for more tutorials and worked examples! ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Intro & Recap on full design procedure 06:33 Full worked example 1 14:51 Full worked example 2 18:18 Final thoughts #ReinforcedConcrete #DoublyReinforcedBeams #CompressionReinforcement #RCDesignTutorial #Eurocode2 #ConcreteDesign #StructuralEngineering #CivilEngineering #MomentCapacity #TensionReinforcement #EngineeringTutorials #EngineeringEducation
