Concrete fc’=34MPa
Longitudinal steel, fyl=413MPa
Transverse ties, fyv=275MPa
Clear concrete cover=40mm
1. Calculate the shear strength (kN) provided by the concrete.
2. The 10mm diameter ties are spaced at 100mm on centers. What is the
shear strength provided by the shear reinforcement?
3. What is the maximum allowable tie spacing (mm)?
Given:
Beam Sections, b x h for AD, BE and CF=250mmx400mm
Girder Sections, b x h for ABC and DEF=350mm x 600mm
Dimensions:
S=3.0m
L=6.0m
Concrete Cover to the centroid of reinforcements=70mm
Concrete Compressive Strength, fc’=20.7MPa
Reinforcing steel yield strength, fy=275MPa
Loads:
Dead Load, D=5.5kPa (beam weight already included)
Live Load, L=4.8kPa (all spans)
Required Strength, U = 1.2D + 1.6L
Strength Reduction Factor, phi = 0.75
1. Determine the critical design shear stress (MPa) in beam BE?
2. Calculate the shear strength, Vc (kN), provided by the concrete in beam
BE.
3. Determine the spacing (mm) for the two legs of 10 mm Ø.
4. Using NSCP, determine the maximum spacing (mm) of stirrups.
