Camparison of section capacity of concrete beam of rearrangement bars in beam
(OP)
Due to site condition the original arrangement of bars in concrete beam of one layer of 10T32 has been rearranged to 2 layers of 5T32. Is there a big impact in section capacity of the beam?

- I'm guessing this raises your reinforcement centroid about 1.5" (32 mm x (0.5 + 0.7)). Thus reducing your effective depth 1.5".
- For this change to affect your capacity by more than 5%, you're beam would need to be shallower than 30".
So, in KootK-land, we'd be letting this roll if the beam was 30" deep or more.
I like to debate structural engineering theory -- a lot. If I challenge you on something, know that I'm doing so because I respect your opinion enough to either change it or adopt it.
