Problem 1 iLL = 4.89 kPa

Given:
L= 4 m
Rebar spacing S = 160 mm
db = 12 mm
fy = 275 MPa
fc'= 21 MPa
unit wt of conc. = 24 kN/m3
slab thickness "t" = 180 mm
steel covering = 20 mm

b= 1000 mm (1 meter strip)

d = t - steel covering - db/2
d = 180 - 20 - 12/2
d= 154 mm

Spacing (S) = Ab(1000)/As

where:
Ab = Area of the bar
Ab = = 113.1 mm 2

160 = 113.1 (1000) / As

As = 706.875 mm 2

Compute "a" and Mu

C= T
0.85fcáb = Asfy
a= Asfy / 0.85fc'b
a= 10.89 mm
c= a/b1
c= 12.81 mm

fs =fs =

fs = 6,613.11 MPa
fs > fy
fs > 1000
Use f = 0.9
 Mu = f Mn
Mu = f 0.85fc'ab (d-a/2) or
= f Asfy (d-a/2)

Mu = 0.9( 706.875)(275)(154 - 10.89/2)

Mu = 25.99 kN-m

Mu = wuL2/8
25.99 = wu (4)^2/8
wu = 13.00 kN/m

wu = 1.2wDL + 1.6 wLL

wDL = (unit wt of concrete)(thickness)(b)

= 24(180)(1000)
wDL = 4.32 kN /m

wu = 1.2wDL + 1.6 wLL

13 = 1.2(4.32) + 1.6( wLL)
wLL = 4.89 kN /m

iLL = wLL/1.0 m strip

iLL = 4.89 kPa
Problem 2 S= 79.84 mm
Given:
D= 500 mm
PDL = 900 kN
PLL = 1250 kN
fy = 414 MPa
fc'= 27.6 MPa
db (main) = 25 mm
db (spiral ties) = 10 mm
steel covering = 30 mm
steel ratio r = 0.03

rs = 0.45( − 1)
or
rs = 0.45( − 1)

Dc = D - 2 (steel covering)
= 500 - 2(30)
Dc = 440 mm

rs = 0.45( − 1)
rs = 0.00874

Spacing of Spirals

( )
S=

As = cross-sectional area of spirals
As = = 78.54 mm 2
therefore:
S= 79.84 mm

S= 79.84 mm
Problem 3 a) S= 114.01 mm
b) S= 73.84 mm
Given:
b= 350 mm
d= 600 mm
fy = fyt = 415 MPa
fc'= 21 MPa
db (stirrups) = 10 mm
f = 0.75

Vc = 𝟎. 𝟏𝟕l 𝒇𝒄' bd
l= 1.0
Vc = 163.60 kN
fVc/2 = 61.35 kN

a.) If Vu = 380 kN
since Vu > f Vc/2
stirrups is needed!

Vs = Vu/f - Vc
= 380/0.75 - 163.6
Vs = 343.07 kN

S = Av f y d / V s
Av = total cross-sectional area of stirrups
Av = (2) = 157.08 mm 2

S = 157.08(415)(600)/ (343.07x 1000)

S= 114.01 mm

Check NSCP code:

1/3 𝑓𝑐' bd = 320.78 kN

Hence Vs > 1/3 𝑓𝑐' bd
Smax :
d/4 = 150 mm or
300 mm
therefore use
S= 114.01 mm
b.) If Vu = 520 kN
since Vu > f Vc/2
stirrups is needed!

Vs = Vu/f - Vc
= 520/ - 114.01
Vs = 529.73 kN

S = Av f y d / V s
A v = total cross-sectional area of stirrups
Av = (2) = 157.08 mm 2

S = 157.08(415)(600)/ (529.73x 1000)

S= 73.84 mm

Check NSCP code:

1/3 𝑓𝑐' bd = 320.78 kN

Hence Vs > 1/3 𝑓𝑐' bd
Smax :
d/4 = 150 mm or
300 mm
therefore use
S= 73.84 mm

Since the problem did not state the beam is SRRB or DRRB, we'll check the analysis..

Use T-beam analysis!

T = C1 + C2 350
As fy = 0.85fc'abw + 0.85fc't (bf - bw)
6325(414) = 0.85(21)(a)(350) + 0.85(21)(100)(750 - 350)

CHECK IF THE BEAM IS SRRB OR DRRB ANALYSIS

Assume tension controlled (f = 0.90, es = 0.005)

for es = 0.005, fs = 1000 Mpa ---- taken from fs = E s ( e s ) = 200,000(0.005) = 1000 Mpa

c= 178.13 mm
c = a/b1
a= 151.41 mm

Mn = Mu/f = 464 / 0.90

Mn = 515.56 KN-m (applied nominal moment)

Mnmax = 0.85fc'ab (d-a/2) ---- resisting nominal moment

= 0.85(21)(151.41)(380)(475 - 151.41/2)
Mnmax = 410.08 KN-m (resisting nominal momentt)

Mnmax < Mn ----- Design as DRRB Analysis!!

 Solve for As1

T1 = C
As1fy = 0.85fc'ab
As1(415) = 0.85(21)(151.41)(380

use fs'= 381.06 MPa

Mn2 = As'fs'(d-d')
105.48x 10^6 = As'(381.06)(475 - 65)
As' = 675.14 mm2
