Theory and Design of Structures III
Examples
Simply supported beam
Use clear cover 25mm
Stirrup bar size 8mm
Assume main bar size 16mm
Fck,cube = 25MPa
Fyk = 400 MPa
Coarse aggregate size = 20mm
Design for bending moment
M = 208KNm
d= 500-25-8-8
=459mm
Fck from table is 20MPa
K = M/(bd2Fck)
= 0.141 < 0.208 No need of compression reinforcement
Calculate lever arm, Z
= 391.12mm <0.95*d Ok!
As = M/(fyd*Z)
fyd = fyk/1.15 = 400/1.15 = 347.83MPa
As = 1525.018 mm2
Check for minimum reinforcement area
fctm from Table 3.1, is 2.2 MPa
As, min = 229.73mm2
Therefore, provide 1525.018mm2
Determine reinforcement bar size that satisfy the spacing requirement
Try dimeter of reinforcement bar = 20mm
Max(20+5, 20, 1*20) = 25mm
Width 350
Area of bar 1525.018
Clear cover 25
Stirrup 8
Rbar size 20
Number of bars 5
Clear spacing 46
Use 5Φ20mm
Design for Shear
M = 104KN
Determine the shear stress due to the shear force
vEd = VEd/(bw*0.9*d)
= 0.719 MPa
Calculate vRD,max when θ is 21.80
Which is
0.138*fck*(1-fck/250)
Insert fck then the result is 2.54 MPa
2.54MPa is greater than 0.719MPa, therefore 21.80 is acceptable.
Asw/s = vEd*bw/(fywd*Cotθ)
= 0.29
Two legged diameter 8 reinforcement bar has area 100.53mm2
The spacing, s is 100.53/0.29 = 346.66mm
Check minimum stirrup requirement
ρmin =(0.08*√fck)/fyk
= 0.001
Asw/s ≥ bw*ρmin
Asw/s ≥ 0.35
Two legged diameter 8 reinforcement bar has area 100.53mm2
The spacing, s is 100.53/0.35 = 287.23mm
Maximum spacing is 0.75*d = 344.25 mm
Spacing is minimum of 346.66mm and 287.23mm
Provide stirrup Φ 8 c/c 280mm
Thank you for your attention.
