Beam Size

The selection of beams sizes from structural


viewpoint is often dictated by deflection control
criteria. In practice, the overall depths of beams are
often fixed in relation to their spans.

Span to overall depth ratios of 13 to 18 are generally


found to be economical in the case of simply
supported and continuous beams.

The recommended ratio of width to overall depth in


rectangular beam section is in the range of 0.3 to 0.6.

(3.1)

EC 2 Part 1-2, gives a method for determining the minimum


dimension of beams for fire resistance requirements.

EN 1992-1-2

Concrete Cover

The nominal cover can be assessed as follows:


Cnom = Cmin + Cdev
Where Cmin shall be provided in order to ensure:
• The safe transmission of bond forces

• The protection of steel against corrosion (Durability)

• An adequate fire resistance

And Cdev is and allowance which should be made in the design for
deviation from the minimum cover. It should be taken as 10 mm. It
is permitted to reduce to 5 mm if the fabrication subjected to a
quality assurance system.

Actions

Actions that applied on a beam may consist of beams self-


weight, dead and imposed loads from slabs, actions from
secondary beams and other structural or non-structural members
supported by the beam.

The distribution of slab actions on beams depends on the slab


dimension, supporting system and boundary condition.

There are alternatives methods which consider various support


conditions and slab continuity. The methods are, (i). Slab shear
coefficient from Table 3.15 BS 8110, (ii). Yield line analysis and (iii).
Table 63 Reinforced Concrete Designer’s Handbook by Reynold.

Analysis

The primary purpose of structural analysis is to establish the


distribution of internal forces and moments over the whole part of a
structure and to identify the critical design conditions at all
sections.

The type of analysis should be appropriate to the problem being


considered. The following may be used: linear elastic analysis,
linear elastic analysis with limited redistribution, and plastic
analysis.

Linear elastic analysis may be carried out assuming cross


sections are uncracked (i.e. concrete section properties), using
linear stress-strain relationships, and assuming means values of
elastic modulus.

Figure 2. The derived formula is based on the
following simplified stress block.

-1: Sec. 9.2.1

10
EC 2 introduces the strut inclination method for shear capacity checks. In
this method the shear is resisted by concrete struts acting in compression
and shear reinforcement acting in tension.

11
EC 2 has two alternative methods for checking deflection, either a
limiting span-to-depth ratio or the theoretical deflection calculation. The
span-to- depth ratio should ensure that deflection is limited to span/250.

Crack widths should be


limited to ensure appearance
and durability are
satisfactory. In the absence
of specific requirements (e.g.
water tightness), it may be
limited to the values given in
Table 7.1N.

The theoretical size of the


crack can be calculated
using expressions given in
Section 7.3.4 EN 1992 or from
“deemed to satisfy”
requirements that can be
obtained from Table 11,
which is based on tables
7.2N and Table 7.3 N of
Eurocode

Load cases & combinations
Variables actions can usually cover all or any
span of a continuous beam. Therefore a
continuous beam should be analyzed for the
loading arrangements which give the
maximum stresses at each section.

TUTORIAL

Moment redistribution is the transfer of moments to


the less stressed sections as sections of peak moment
yield on their ultimate capacity being reached.

From a design viewpoint, this behavior can be taken


advantage of by attempting to effect a redistribute
bending moment diagram which achieves a reduction
in the maximum moment levels (and a corresponding
increase in the lower moments at other locations)

17
Such an adjustment in the moment diagram often leads to the
design of a more economical structure with better balanced
proportion, and less congestion of reinforcement at critical
sections. EC2: Section 5.5 permit the moment redistribution,
provided that;

- The resulting distribution remains in equilibrium


with the loads.

- The continuous beams are predominantly


subject to flexure.

- The ratio of adjacent spans be in the range of 0.5 to 2

Analysis

The analysis of reinforced concrete slab to determine


bending moment and shear force may be done either
by using elastic analysis or by considering plastic
collapse methods. Hence one of the following methods
can be use.

 Elastic analysis
 Yield line method
 Hillerborg strip method
 Moment and shear coefficient from Code of practice
or handbook

EC 2 has two alternative
methods for checking
deflection, either a limiting
span-to-depth ratio or the
theoretical deflection
calculation. The span-to-
depth ratio should ensure
that deflection is limited to
span/250.

To resist cracking of the concrete slabs, EC2 specify


details such as minimum area of reinforcement required
in a section and limits to the maximum and minimum
spacing of bar.

The minimum area of principal reinforcement is As,min =


0.26fctmbtd/fyk but not less than 0.0013btd, where bt is the
mean width of the tension zone.

8
The minimum area of secondary reinforcement is 20%
As,min. In areas near support, transverse reinforcement is
not necessary where there is no transverse bending
moment.

The spacing of principal reinforcement bars should not


exceed three times the overall depth of slab (3h) or 400
mm whichever is the lesser. For secondary reinforcement
the spacing should not exceed 3.5h or 450 mm whichever
the lesser. These rules apply for slabs not exceeding 200
mm thick.

Analysis

In situ reinforced concrete structures behave as a rigid


frames, and should be analyzed as such. They can be
analyzed as a complete space frame or divided into a
series of plane frame.

Columns and main beams are considered as a series


of rigid plane frame which can be divided into two types:
(i) Braced frames supporting axial vertical loads only, (ii)
Unbraced frames supporting vertical and lateral loads

6
For the purpose or simplified design calculations the
axial force in a column in monolithic braced frame may
be calculated on the assumption that the beams are
simply supported.

The bending moments may be calculated using the


simplified sub-frame shown in Figure 8.4.

The arrangement of the design ultimate imposed


load should be such as to cause the maximum moment
in the column.

Braced & Unbraced

EN 1992-1-1: Sec. 5.8.1

Bracing members are members that


contribute to the overall stability of the
structure, whereas braced members do
not contribute to the overall stability of
the structure.

Slender & Non-slender

EN 1992-1-1: Sec. 5.8.2 and 5.8.3.1(1)


Column may be classified into slender or non-
slender depending on its sensitivity to second-order
effects (P-Δ effect).

Column can be deemed to be non-slender when


design actions are not significantly affected by their
deformation (P-Δ effect is deemed to be small).

9
Second order effect may be ignored provided
the slenderness ratio of column does not
exceed a particular limiting value.

Second order effect also can be ignored if


they are less than 10% of the corresponding
first order bending moments.

Slenderness ratio

EN 1992-1-1: Sec.5.8.3.2

The slenderness ratio is defined as;

Where;

lo is the effective length


i is the radius of gyration of the cross

Effective Length,

Figure 5.7 below gives guidance on the effective length of


column.

Effective length is a length used to account for the shape of the


deflection curve or it can also be defined as buckling length. An
effective length can be determined in the following way

where:
k1, k2 are the relative flexibilities of rotational restraints at
ends 1 and 2 respectively

θ is the rotation of restraining members for bending moment M

EI is the bending stiffness of compression member


l is the clear height of compression member between end

If an adjacent column in a node is likely to contribute to the
rotation at buckling, then (EI/l ) in the definition of k should be
replaced by [(EI/l)a + (EI/l)b], a and b representing the column
above and below the node.

5.8.3.1 : The slenderness ratio limit is defined as;

lim  20. A. B.C n


Where;
A = 1/(1 + 0.2eff) : eff = effective creep ratio
B = (1 + 2)0.5 :  = Asfyd/(Acfcd)
C = 1.7 – rm : rm = Mo1 /Mo2

• If eff, , and rm are not known, A = 0.7,


B = 1.1 and C = 0.7 may be used.

Tutorial 7

• EC2 gives two alternative method of analysis as follows


7. : Nominal Stiffness Method
8. : Nominal Curvature Method
• The “curvature” method is similar in approach to current
practice
• Some of the terminology in EC2 relating to column
design may be slightly unfamiliar, with minimum
eccentricity being described under “imperfection” and
buckling falling within “second order effects”.

The Second Order Moment :

M2  0 : Non-slender column

M 2  N ED e2 : Slender column

where,
NEd is the design value of axial load
e2 is the deflection = (1/r)lo/c
1/r is the curvature

lo is the effective length


c is a factor depending on the curvature
distribution, normally  unless constant MOE

1/ro = fyd/dEs = fyk/ 103500d

For practical purpose as with BS8110, the rectangular stress block


used for design of beam may also be used for the design of
columns

17
• However unlike with BS8110 the maximum
compressive strain when designing to EC2 will be
less than 0.0035 if the whole section is in
compression.

• This compressive strain will further fall to 0.00175


(fck < 50 N/mm2) if the section is subject to pure
compression.

• This will affect the steel strains and hence forces


which the reinforcement can carry

18
EQUILIBRIUMEQUATIONS
• When a section subject to axial load N
and a bending moment M the following
equalities should be satisfied for
equilibrium between the applied
actions and the internal action effects.

Equilibrium of load

N  Fcc  Fsc  Fst


Equilibrium of moment

MFcc.(0.5h 0.5x) Fsc(0.5h d2 )  Fst(0.5d1)

Where,

Fcc  (fck /  c )(x)b ; Fsc  Asc f yk /  s ; Fst  Ast f y k /  s

19
The equations can be rearrange in the following form

N  f ;; f ;  ; ( x / h); ( A / bh); ( A / bh); f ; 

M  f ;; f ;  ;(x / h); ( A / bh); ( A / bh); f ;  ;(d1/ h); (d 2 / h)

3. Transverse reinforcement

The diameter of links should not be less than 6 mm or


one-quarter of the diameter of the longitudinal bar.

The maximum spacing should not be less than;

1.12 times the minimum diameter of longitudinal bars


2.the lesser dimension of the column
3. 240 mm

* At a distance greater than the larger dimension of the


column above or below a beam these spacing can
increased by a factor of 1.67

Tutorial 7

• EC2 gives conditions in which bi-axial bending


may be dispensed with and the design carried
out in each principal direction disregarding the
bending in the other direction

• If these conditions are not satisfied a rigorous


method is suggested

22
Conditions to be satisfied for disregarding bi-axial
bending

(a). (y /  z )  2 or (z /  y )  2 and

(b). (ey / h) (ez / b) 0.2 or (ez / b) (ey / h)  0.2

where;
y, z are the slenderness ratios with respect to y and z
axis
b, h are the width and depth of the section parallel
to z and y axis respectively
ez = MEdy/NEd; eccentricity along z-axis
ey = MEdz/NEd; eccentricity along y-axis
MEdy is the design moment about y-axis,

MEdz is the design moment about z-axis


NEd is the design value of axial load

Introduction

The two essential requirements in the design of


foundation are;

the total settlement of the structures shall be


limited to a tolerably small amount, and

the differential settlement of various parts the


structure shall be eliminated as nearly as possible.

The critical section of bending is
at the face of the column. The
moment is taken on a section
passing completely across the
footing and is due to the ultimate
loads on one side of the section. Soilpressure
The moment and shear forces
should be assessed using STR
combination:

N = 1.35Gk + 1.5Qk STR combination 1 (Exp. 6.10)

Check for shear


Footing may fail in shear as
vertical shear or punching shear at
the location shown in Figure 9.3.
VEd < VRd,c
no shear reinforcement is required.

The maximum punching shear at


the column face must not exceed
maximum shear resistance VRdmax. Figure 9.3: Location of critical
shear section and perimeter

Cracking and detailing requirements

Use the rules for slabs in clause 9.3 of EC2.

Design of pile cap

Size and thickness


Size of pile cap depends on the number of piles used,
the arrangement of piles and the shape of pile cap
The thickness of the cap should be sufficient to provide
adequate bond length for the bars projecting from the
piles as well as for the dowel bars of columns.

If hp  550 mm : h = 2hp + 100


1 (8h  600)
If hp > 550 mm : h = p
3

Main reinforcement

Pile caps are design either using bending theory or using


the truss analogy. In the truss analogy the force from the
supported column is assumed to be transmitted by a
triangular truss action with concrete providing the
compressive members of the truss and steel reinforcement
providing the tensile tie force.

6
Design for shear

The shear capacity of a


pile cap should be checked
at the critical section taken
to be 20 % of the pile
diameter inside the face of
the pile. The whole of the
force from the piles with
centers lying outside this
line should be considered.

Shear enhancement may be considered such that the shear


capacity of the concrete may be increase to vc x 2d/a where av is the
distance from the face of the column to the critical section if the
spacing of the piles is less than or equal to three times the pile
diameter.

Where the spacing of the piles exceeds three times the pile
diameter then the pile cap should be checked for punching shear

7
Detailing of reinforcement
The main tension
reinforcement should continue
past each pile and should be
bent up vertically to provide a
full anchorage length beyond
the centre line of each pile. It is
normal to provide fully lapped
horizontal link of size not less
than 12 mm and at spacing of
no greater than 250 mm.
