What is doubly reinforced beam?
How does the design of a doubly reinforced beam differ from a singly reinforced beam?
In a singly reinforced beam, the reinforcing steel bars only run through the tension zone. In a doubly reinforced beam, the reinforcing steel bars run through both the tension and compression zones. This added reinforcement allows for a greater load-carrying capacity and can better resist bending and deflection.
