COMPLETE BEAM DESIGN STEPS

/ Shear Reinforcement
Design of Shear Reinforcement
▪ The shear stress that comes with the changes in
bending moment produces “corner/edge tension”
▪ The tensile stress causes cracks near the support of
a beam.

• These are some symbol that you have to know in shear

resistance calculation

• Notes:
Ved = Design shear force
Vrd,c = shear resistance without shear link
Vmin = minimum shear resistance of a plain member
Vrd,max =maximum shear capacity with shear link
SHEAR RESISTANCE
Identify V,Ed (Vmax)

Yes No
Ved ≤ VRdc
Shear link is Shear link is
not required required

Provide min link Find VRdc, max

 Ved ≤ VRdc

• For safety, it is required to provide min link for the beam

Appendix
• Calculate min link page13

• Provide link based on table no 3 on appendix page 35

• Link is provided based on spacing.
• Eg: provide link H8 – 300 c/c (Asw/S = 0.335)

Example : (Simply supported Beam Design)
Design the longitudinal and link reinforcement for the beam show below. Assuming
nominal cover = 35mm, bar diameter = 25mm, link diameter = 8mm . The beam is
made of Class C25/30 and Grade 500 steel.

W = 70.5 kN/m
b = 300

h = 600
6000 mm

i)Design Moment, M
M = wl2/8
= (70.5 x 62) / 8
= 317.25 kNm

Hence, effective depth, d= h – cnom – Ø link – Ø bar/2

= 600 – 35 – 8 – 25/2
= 544.5 mm
≈ 545 mm
ii) Design Longitudinal Reinforcement
K = M / fckbd2
= 317.25 x 106
25 (300) (545)2
= 0.142 < 0.167
so, used singly reinforcement (compression steel is not required)

z = d 0.5 +  (0.25 – K / 1.134)

= d 0.5 +  (0.25 – 0.142 / 1.134)
= 0.853d < 0.95d,
so take z = 0.858d

As = M / 0.87fykz
= 317.25 x 106
0.87(500) (0.853 x 545)
= 1569 mm2
provide 4H25, As = 1960 mm2

Checking max and min steel areas

As,min = 0.26(fctm/fyk)bd > 0.0013bd
= 0.00135bd> 0.0013bd
= 221 mm2 < As,prov → ok
As,max = 0.04bh
= 0.04(300 x 600) < 4.0%
= 7200 > As,prov → ok

Check min spacing of reinforcement

Clear distance between bars, s
s = (width,b – 2cnom – 2no of Ø link - no of Ø bar)
No. of spacing
= 300 – (2x35) – (2x8) - (4x25)
3
= 114
3
= 38 mm > Smin=[Øbar ; dg (say 20 mm)+5 mm ; 20]=25mm
iii) Design Shear Reinforcement

Vmax = VED = wL/2 = 70.5 x 6 / 2 = 211.5 KN

VRd,c = [0.12 k (100 1 fck)1/3 ]bw d ≥ Vmin = [(0.035)k3/2 (fck)]bw d

k = 1 +(200/d) = 1 + (200/544.5) = 1.61 < 2 (ok)

1 = Asl/(bw d) = 1960/(300 x 544.5) = 0.01< 0.02 (ok)

VRd,c = [0.12(1.61)(100x0.01x25)1/3](300)(544.5)
= 92.3kN

Vmin = [(0.035)k3/2 (fck)]bw d

= 0.035(1.61)3/2 (25)1/2](300)(544.5)
= 58.4 kN

Since VRd,c = 92.3kN > Vmin and VRd,c < Vmax therefore shear link is required
Based on  = 22o
V,Rd,max (22) = [0.36*bw*d(1-fck/250)*fck]/[cot  + tan ]
= [0.36(300)(544.5)(1-25/250)(25)]/[cot 22o + tan 22o]
= [1323 / 2.5 + 0.4]
= 456.2 kN
Since V,Rd, max(22) > VEd, therefore design shear link

Determine shear link

Asw/s = VEd /[0.78 d fyk cot ]
= 160.77x103 /[0.78*544.5*500*cot(22)]
= 0.303
Check min shear link areas
[Asw/s]min > [0.08√fck /fyk]*(bw sin α)
> [0.08√(25)/500](300)(1)
> 0.24
Select spacing, s = 300 mm (From Table Appendix)
Smax = 0.75d ≤ 600 = 409 mm > s=300 mm → ok

Provide H8 – 300 c/c (Asw/s = 0.335)
