Yield Strength of Reinforcement, fy = 420 N/mm2 fy ≤ Max. Allowable ACI 318M-14 Cl. 20.2.2.4
Strength Reduction Factor, f= 0.75 ACI 318M-14 Cl. 21.2.1(b)
Type of Concrete Normal Weight l= 1

Column and Slab Properties

Column Dimension, C 1 = 500 mm
Column Dimension, C 2 = 2000 mm
Type of Column Under Consideration: Edge Case (1)
Slab Thickness, t = 300 mm

Effective Slab Depth, d = 260 mm
Edge Distance, e 1 = 0 mm
Edge Distance, e 2 = 200 mm
Ineffective Length = 0 mm `

Straining Actions - Ultimate

Shear Force, Vu = 900 KN
Unbalanced Moment in 1-direction, M u1 = 450 KN.m
Unbalanced Moment in 2-direction, M u2 = 225 KN.m

Effect of Loaded Area Aspect Ratio bc: .

Perimeter of Critical Section, b o = 5420 mm
Ratio of long to short dimensions, bc = 4
fVC1 = 0.17(1+2/bc )(boxd)λ√f'c = 2272703.7 N ACI 318M-14 Eq. 22.6.5.2(b)

Effect of Perimeter Area Aspect Ratio bo:

fVC2 = 0.083((asxd/b0)+2 )λ(boxd)√f'c = 2544060 N ACI 318M-14 Eq. 22.6.5.2(c)
Where for Edge Column, a =
s 30 ACI 318M-14 Cl. 22.6.5.3

Excluding Effect of bc and bo :

vc = 0.33λ√f'c = 2.0871 N/mm2
fVC3 = 0.33λ(boxd)√f'c = 2941145.9 N ACI 318M-14 Eq. 22.6.5.2(a)

Computation of The Nominal Shear Strength fVn:

Concrete Shear Stress Capacity, fVc,allowable = 1.2096 N/mm2

Section Properties for Shear Stress Computation:

Dimension of Critical Section in 1-direction, b 1 = 760 mm
Dimension of Critical Section in 2-direction, b 2 = 2330 mm
Area of Critical Section, A c = boxd = 1409200 mm2
Modulus of Critical Section in Modulus of Critical Section in
1-direction: 2-direction:
c= 380 mm c= 380 mm
c' = 380 mm c' = 380 mm
(J/c)1 = 488366667 mm³ (J/c)2 = 297557069 mm³
J= 1285175.4 mm4 J= 783044.92 mm4

Distribution of Unbalanced Moment:

Flexural Fraction of Moment in 1-direction gf1 = 0.7242 Flexural Fraction of Moment in 2-direction gf2 = 0.4614 ACI 318M-14 Eq. 8.4.2.3.2

Eccentric Shear Fraction in 1-direction gv1 = 0.2758 Eccentric Shear Fraction in 2-direction gv2 = 0.5386 ACI 318M-14 Eq. 8.4.4.2.2

Check Maximum Shear Force Permitted with Reinforcement:

Permissible Nominal Shear Force fVn,allowable = 2.3717 N/mm2 Vutotal < fVn,all SAFE, Slab Thickness is OK. ACI 318M-14 Eq. 22.6.6.2(a)

Ultimate Combined Shear Stress along inside Face of Critical Transfer Section :
Ultimate Shear Stress, V utotal = 1.3000 N/mm2 Vutotal > fVc,all Shear Reinforcment is Required. ACI 318M-14 Cl. 22.6.5.2
Punching Shear Ratio = 1.07 d ≥ dmin = 192 mm OK ACI 318M-14 Cl. 22.6.7.1

Shear Stress to be Resisted by Reinforcement :

Maximum Shear Stress Resisted by Concrete, f Vc = 0.8064 N/mm2 Min.of [f0.17λbod√f'c ,fVc,allowable] ACI 318M-14 Eq. 22.6.6.1(a)
Shear Stress Resisted by Reinforcement, V s = (Vu - fVc)/f = 0.6582 N/mm2 ACI 318M-14 Eq. 22.5.1.1

Calculations of Required Shear Reinforcement:

Number of Branches = 4 Stirrups Spacing, s = 125 mm Spacing is OK. ACI 318M-14 Cl. 8.7.6.3 &
Number of Sides = 3 AV = Vsbos/Fyt = 1062 mm2 ACI 318M-14 Cl. 9.7.6.2.2
AV/side = 353.90 mm 2 ACI 318M-14 Eq. 22.6.7.2
AV/side/branch = 88.475 mm2
Stirrup Diameter = 10.614 mm

Then, Use Closed Stirrups 4L T12 @ 125 For a Distance (x) = 1500 mm
