Analysis of U-Shape Concrete Gutter/Irregular Shape

Beam
b1 = 210 mm b2 = 150 mm

275 mm

370 mm
450 mm

As

700 mm
Input Data:
Geometry: Column Support

b= 700 mm d= 370 mm db = 16 mm
b1 = 210 mm y= 275 mm n= 6
b2 = 150 mm H= 450 mm As = 1206 sq. mm

Material Stresses:
fc' = 27.58 mPa
fy = 372 mPa

Solution:
Asfy Compression block is above the
Ac = = 19142 sq.mm
0.85fc' trough

a= Ac /(b1+b2) = 53 mm

c= a/b = 63 mm

Ɛs = 0.003*(d-c)/c = 0.01474

Ɛy = fy/Es = 0.00186 Steel Yield First

fs = ƐsEs

fs = 0.003*(d-c)*Es/c

T= C

Asfs = 0.85*fc'*a*b = 0.85*fc'*0.85*c*bw

c= 115.0252704
a= 0.85*c = 98 mm

fs = 600*(d-c)/c = 1330 mm use fy

Mn = Asfy*(d-0.5a) = 144 kN-m

Mu = ΦMn = 130 kN-m

Check for Actual ρ :

ρ= As/bd = 0.00466

ρmin = 1.4/fy = 0.00376

ρmax = 0.75*0.85*fc'*b*(600)/fy/(600+fy)

= 0.02480 Correct Assumption

C1 = 0.85*fc'*(b1+b2)*a/2 224 kN

C2 = 0 kN

Taking Moment About the Line of Action of the Tension Force Gives
the Design Moment of the Section.

ΦMn = Φ*(C1(d-0.5a) = 47 kN-m

P= M/e = 90 kN
Note that this value is higher than
the demand Concentrated Force of
30kN at the Tip, Hence Safe!

Note:
Check the Beam Capacity Subjected to Combined Torsion And Shear.
