Reinforced concrete (RC) beam one of the most important building materials to
construct modern structure and is widely used in many types of engineering
structures. The purpose of RC beam is the reinforcement of areas in concrete that are
weak in tension. A better understanding of the behaviour of RC can reduce the
maintenance and increase the safety factor to the working environment. To increases
the efficient use of reinforced concrete it is necessary to know the properties and the
behaviour the element under various constraints. Finite Element Analysis (FEA) will be
used to simulate the behaviour of RC beam. ABAQUS software was used as a medium
for numerical method design proses to do a simulation of the reinforced concrete
beam. The ultimate strength of the structure will be compared with available
experimental, empirical data from previous researchers.
