Design For Flexure and Shear

This document details the design of a concrete ramp. It specifies the material properties and dimensions of the ramp. Design calculations are shown for flexure and shear according to Eurocode 2. For flexure, reinforcement required is calculated to be 6411 mm^2 using 32 mm diameter bars spaced at 200 mm. For shear, the design shear stress exceeds the concrete capacity so shear reinforcement is required. The required shear reinforcement area is calculated to be 1017 mm^2 using 8 legs of 12 mm diameter bars.
