Question 1
Beam Length = 8 m Load on beam = 17.8 kN/m Fck = 35 N/mm2 Fyk = 500 N/mm2 Support width = 300 mm S = 175mm 2 H12 bars
Total Load on beam = 17.8 x 8 = 142.4 kN Support reaction = VEf = 71.2 [17.8 x (0.3/2)] = 68.53 kN
(shear at face of support) VEd = 53.4 17.8 x 0.65 = 41.83 kN Step 3: calculate additional longitudinal tensile forces*
Step 1: Check crushing strength Vrd,max
at = 22 VRd,max (22) = ( )
VRd,max (22) = 849.121 kN ( > VEf)
Step2: determine shear resistance
*This force can usually be allowed for by increasing the curtailment length of the tension bars.

Question 2
Step 2: calculate torsional reinforcements
= 0.018
Beam Length = 8 m Load on beam = 17.8 kN/m Fck = 35 N/mm2 Fyk = 500 N/mm2 Support width = 300 mm S = 175mm 2 H12 bars
Use H8 @ 300mm Step 3: longitudinal reinforcements
( )
Step 4: torsion combined with bending and shear
= 0.0766 Step1: find Trd, max
