Mult,concrete = K bd 2 fcu
K bd 2 fcu = 0.9fcu b (d − z) z
Kd 2 = 0.9fcu dz − 0.9z 2
z2 − dz + Kd2/0.9 = 0
The solution of this quadratic equation (ax2 + bx +
c = 0) gives an expression which can be used to
determine the lever arm, z.
Summary
Solution:
Consider the end of the beam at the support
where the shear force is a maximum = 40 kN
Clause 3.4.5.2
V 40 x103
v 0.89 N / mm2
bv d 200 x 225
0.8 f cu 0.8 40 5.06 N / mm2
v 0.8 f cu & 5.0 N / mm2
Solution:
Option 1:
Assume 2-legged / 6 mm diameter mild steel links.
Asv = 56.6 mm2
0.95 f yv Asv 0.95x 250x56.6
Table 3.7 The spacing required , sv 169mm
0.4bv 0.4 x200
Clause 3.4.5.5
The maximum spacing of the links ≤ 0.75d
= (0.75 x 225) = 169 mm
Adopt 6 mm diameter mild steel links @ 150 mm centres
throughout the length of the beam.
Solution:
Option 2:
Clause 3.4.5.5
The maximum spacing of the links ≤ 0.75d
= (0.75 × 225) = 169 mm
Assume sv = 150 mm.
where:
b is the breadth of the section bw is the breadth or
effective breadth of the rib; for a box, T or I section, bw is
taken as the average breadth of the concrete below the
flange,
h is the overall depth of the cross-section of a reinforced
member.
bw / b = (300 / 1200) = 0.25 < 0.4
the required area of steel is given by:
100As /bwh = 0.18
bw h = (300 × 600) = 180 × 103 mm2
As = 0.18×180×103/100 = 324 mm2
