Tying systems

EC2 Webinar – Autumn 2017 Lecture 9/26


Tying systems
• Peripheral ties (9.10.2.2) & NA:
Ftie,per = (20 + 4n0) ≤ 60kN
where n0 is the number of storeys

• Internal ties (including transverse ties) (9.10.2.3) & NA :


Ftie,int = ((gk + qk) / 7.5 )(lr/5)Ft ≥ Ft kN/m
where (gk + qk) is the sum of the average permanent and variable floor loads (kN/m2),
lr is the greater of the distances (m) between the centres of the columns, frames or
walls supporting any two adjacent floor spans in the direction of the tie under
consideration and Ft = (20 + 4n0) ≤ 60kN.
Maximum spacing of internal ties = 1.5 lr

• Horizontal ties to columns or walls (9.10.2.4) & NA :


Ftie,fac = Ftie,col ≥ (2 Ft ≤ (ls /2.5)Ft) and ≥ 3% of NEd
NEd = the total design ultimate vertical load carried by the column or wall at that level. Tying
of external walls is only required if the peripheral tie is not located within the wall. Ftie,fac in
kN per metre run of wall, Ftie,col in kN per column and ls is the floor to ceiling height in m.

Tying Systems

Internal Ties: EC2 specifies a


20kN/m requirement which is
significantly less than BS8110.

UK NA requirements similar to BS 8110

EC2 Webinar – Autumn 2017 Lecture 9/27


Tying Systems

• Vertical ties (9.10.2.5):


In panel buildings of 5 storeys or more, ties should be provided in
columns and/or walls to limit damage of collapse of a floor.
Normally continuous vertical ties should be provided from the lowest
to the highest level.
Where a column or wall is supported at the bottom by a beam or slab
accidental loss of this element should be considered.

• Continuity and anchorage ties (9.10.3):


Ties in two horizontal directions shall be effectively continuous and
anchored at the perimeter of the structure.
Ties may be provided wholly in the insitu concrete topping or at
connections of precast members.

Design information H25’s

• C40/50 concrete
• 400 mm square column
Lap
• 45mm nominal cover to main bars
• Longitudinal bars are in compression
• Maximum ultimate stress in the bars
is 390 MPa

Exercise:
Calculate the minimum lap length
using EC2 equation 8.10: H32’s

Column lap length exercise

Procedure
• Determine the ultimate bond stress, fbd EC2 Equ. 8.2

• Determine the basic anchorage length, lb,req EC2 Equ. 8.3

• Determine the design anchorage length, lbd EC2 Equ. 8.4

• Determine the lap length, l0 = anchorage length x α6
