Geometrical properties of the structural element:
Width of the beam w = 250 mm
Depth of the beam d = 450 mm Concrete cover = 30 mm Depth of the tension steel from extreme compression fibre ds = (450 – 30) mm = 420 mm Depth of compression steel from extreme compression fibre dc = 30 mm Thickness of slab = 150 mm Number of rebars in tension zone of the beam = 4D16 Number of rebars in compression zone of the beam = 2D16 Shear ties (2 arms) = D8@200 Mechanical properties of structural element: Concrete compressive strength fc’ = 30 MPa Yield strength of steel fy = 400 MPa Given data: Moment due to dead load at SLS = 60 KN-m Moment due to live load at SLS = 70 KN-m Target bending moment resistance = (1.6 x 60) + (1.2 x 70) = 184 KN-m Target shear resistance = 172 KN
Area of steel rebar in tension zone = 804.2477 mm2
Area of steel rebar in compression zone = 402.1239 mm2 Step 1: Check for strength limit criteria (without FRP)
Mn = 127.242 KN-m φMn = 0.9 x 127.242 = 114.52 KN-m (1.1MDL + 0.75MLL) = (1.1 x 60 + 0.75 x 70) KN-m = 118.5 KN-m Here, φMn < (1.1MDL + 0.75MLL) Since the above check is not satisfied, strengthening of the structure with the FRP is not allowed. FOR SHEAR STRENGTHENING NOTE: Since at this stage I was lacking the access of ACI 318, so the shear strength contribution by concrete and transverse steel reinforcement are calculated as per AS 3600 (draft copy) and further FRP reinforcement is designed as per ACI 440.2R – 17. Shear strength of a beam excluding transverse shear reinforcement (Vuc)
(fc’)1/2 = 5.47722 MPa < 8 MPa
bv = 250 mm dv = maximum of 0.72 D or 0.9d = 378 mm
Assuming the size of the maximum aggregate particle is not less than 10 mm. As per clause 8.2.4.6, Θv = 36o

NOTE: From here the design is as per ACI 440.2R – 17.
