Beams with web depth that exceed 900 :rruh have a tendency to develop excessive wide cracks in the upper parts of their tension zones: According to Section 5.10~6.7 of NCSP, if the depth of a web exceeds 900 mm,longitudinal skin reinforcement shall be .uniformly distributed along both side faces of the member for a distance d/2 nearest the flexural tension reinforcement. The area of skin reinforcement Ask per meter of height on each side face shall be Ask·~

The maximum spacing of the skin reinforcement shall not exceed the lesser of d/ b and 300 mm. . Such reinforcement may be include~ in strength computations if a strain cpmpatibility analysis is made t~ determine stresses in the individual bars or wires. The total area of longitudinal skin reinforcement in both faces need not exceed one-half of the required flexural tensile reinforcement.

Chapter 4 She~ar and Diagonal Tension GENERAL

Another type of beam failure other than bending is shear failure. Shear failures are very dangerous especially if it happens before flexure failure because they can occur without warning. To avoid shear failure, the Code provides permissible shear values that have larger safety factors compared to bending failure, thus ensuring ductile type of failure.

(a) Shear failure of beam without stirrup or shear reinforcement

(b) Shear failure of beam stirrup or shear reinforcement Figure 4.1: Shear failure in beams

Without stirrup, there is nothing to stop the concrete from splitting due to diagonal tension as in Figure 4.1 (a). Stirrups prevent this occurrence especially if they are closely spaced as in Figure 4.1 (b).

126

REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

TYP~S

OF SHEAR FAILURE

Sheat failures on location of the load applied relative to the nearest reaction, known as the shear span. Shear failure may be (a) diagonal tension failure, (b) shear-compression failure, and (c) splitting or true shear failure. Diagonal Tension Failure Diagonal tension failure usually occur when the shear span is greater than 3d or 4d. Shear span > 2d

p

Shear-Compression Failure Shear-compression failure occurs when the shear span is from d to 2.5d. Shear span

Eq. 4-1

121V11

Eq. 4-2

For a beam with no web reinforcement, the shearing force that causes the first diagonal cracking can be taken as the shear capacity of the beam. For a beam that does contain web reinforcement, the concrete is assumed to carry a constant amount of shear force Vc, and the web reinforcement need only be designed for the shear force V5 in excess of that carried by the concrete, or Eq. 4-3

Vs =VII- Vc

The amount of shear Vc that can be carried by concrete at ultimate is at least equal to the amount of shear that would cause diagonal cracking. The amount of shear provided by the reinforcement Vs is calculated using the truss analogy with a 45° inclination of the diagonal members.

CHAPTER 5- BOND, DEVELOPMENT LENGTH, HOOKS, AND SPLICES

Chapter 5 Development Length, Hooks, and Splicing of Reinforcement Bon~d,

BOND

In reinforced concrete, we assume that the concrete and steel work as a.unit. For this to happen there must be absolutely no slippage of the bars in relation to the surrounding concrete. The steel .and concrete must stick or bond together for them to act as a unit. If there is slipping of steel with respect to surrounding concrete, there will be no transfer of stress from steel to concrete and vice versa and as a result, the concrete will act as an unreinforced member and will be subject to collapse.

DEVELOPMENT LENGTH

For the cantilever beams shown in Figure 5.1, theoretically the maximum moment occurs in the beam at the face of the support and ·at a small distance from the back ofthe support is zero. Thus, it would seem that reinforcing bars would only be necessary in the beam at the face of the support and a little at the back of the support as in Figure 5.1 (a). Obviously, this beam would easily fall down. (It's like a man playing tug of war holding the tip of the rope. No matter how strong that man and that rope is, it would easily slip off his hand. )

DEVELOPMENT LENGTH OF STRAIGHT BARS

Bar development length Ld is the embedment necessary to assure that the bar can be stressed to its yield point with some reserved to insure member toughness. Development length is a function of bar diameter db, yield point Jy, · and concrete strength fc· Other items affecting the development length are bar spacing, concrete cover, and transverse reinforcement.

BASIC CONCEPT OF DEVELOPMENT LENGTH

In the basic concept of anchorage length, a bar is embedded in a mass of concrete as shown. Under initial loading, the actual bond stress will be larger near the surface and nearly zero at the embedded end. Near failure, the bond stress along the bar will be more uniformly distributed. If the average bond stress at ultimate is u, then

F = ~ fv

F = Foond Ab fy = u X 7t db Ld 1j db2 fy = u x 1t db La

Eq. s -1 According to Section 5.12.1, calculated tension or compression in reinforcement at each ~section of reinforced concrete members shall be developed on each side of that section by embedment length, hook or mechanical device, or a combination thereof. Hooks may be used in developing bars in tension only. The Code provides the basic development length ldb for various situations. The values provided by the code have to be modified for different condition. Thus, the minimum development length Ld required by the code can be expressed as Ld

For determining the appropriate modification factors, a unit of bundled bars shall be treated as a single bar of a diameter derived from the equivalent total area.

DEVELOPMENT OF FLEXURAL REINFORCEMENT (SEC. 5.12.10)

Tension reinforcement in flexural members may be developed by: a) bending across the web to be anchored or

b) made continues with reinforcement on the opposite face of member. Critical sections for development of reinforcement in flexural members are at points of maximum stress and at points within the span where adjacent reinfor~ement terminates, or is bent. Reinforcement shall extend beyond the point at which it is no longer required to resist flexure for a distance equal to the

162

REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

effective depth of member or 12db, whichever is greater, except at supports of simple spans and at free end of cantilevers. Continuing reinforcement shall have an embedment length not less than the development length ld beyond the point where bent or terminated tension reinforcement is no longer required to resist flexure. Flexural reinforcement shall not be terminated in a tension zone unless one of the following conditions is satisfied: a) Shear at the cutoff point does not exceed two-thirds that permitted including shear strength of shear reinforcement provided. b) Stirrup area in excess of that required for shear and torsion is provided along each terminated bar or wire over a distance from the termination point equal to the three-fourths the effective depth of member. Excess stirrup area Av shall be not less than 0.4 bw sjfy· Spacing s shall not exceed d/BI3b where pb is the ratio of area of reinforceme~t cut off to total area of tension reinforcement at the section. c) For 32-rnrn bar and smaller, continuing reinforcement provides double the area required for flexure at the cutoff point and shear does not exceed three-fourths that permitted. Adequate anchorage shall be provided for tension reinforcement in flexural members where reinforcement stress is not directly proportional to moment, such as: sloped, stepped, or tapered footings; brackets; deep flexural members; or members in which tension reinforcement is not parallel to compression face.

DEVELOPMENT OF POSITIVE MOMENT BARS

According to Section 5.12.11 of the Code, at least one-third the positive moment reinforcement in simple members and one-fourth the positive moment reinforcement in continuous members shall extend along the same face of ·member into the support. In beams, such reinforcement shall extend into the support at least 150 rnrn .. At simple supports and at points of inflection, positive moment tension reinforcement shall be limited to a diameter such that Ld computed by Eq. 5-2 need not exceed Eq. 5-7. The purpose of this limitation is to keep bond stress~s within reason at the,se points of low moments and large shears.

CHAPTER 6 -AXIALLY LOADED COLUMNS

185

Chapter 6 Axially Loaded Columns CLASSIFICATION OF COLUMNS In general, columns are classified as short columns and long columns. If the height of the column is less than three times its least lateral dimension, it may be considered as short compression blocks or pedestal. Pedestals may be designed without reinforcement with a maximum permissible compressive strength of 0.850 f" where 121 is 0.70 (Sect. 5.10.15). If the compressive strength is greater than this value, the pedestal will have to be designed as a reinforced concrete short column. If the reinforced concrete column fails due to initial material failure, it is classified a·s short columns. The load of the short columns depends on the dimension and the strength of the material of which it is made. If the length of the column is increased, the chances that it will fail by lateral buckling will be increased. Columns that fail by buckling are called long

columns.

·

P-delta Moment When a column is subjected to priman; moments M, such as those caused by applied loads or joint rotation, the axis of the member deflects laterally. This deflection causes additional moment applied . to the column, whiCh is equal to the column load times the lateral deflection. This moment is called secondary moment or P-delta moment, as shown in FIGURE 6.1.

p

\

Figure 6.1: Secondary or P-delta moment

186

REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

If the secondary moment becomes too large, the column is said to be long column and it is necessary to design its section for the sum of both primary and secondary moments. However, the Code permits that columns be designed as short columns if the secondary or PL'l effect does not reduce their strength by more than 5%:

(d) Composite columns - These columns may contain a structural steel shape surrounded by longitudinal bars with ties or spirals or it may consist of high-strength steel tubing filled with concrete. Tied and spiral columns are the most common forms. Either type may be circular, octagonal, square, or rectangular section. Tied columns may also be L, T or other irregular shape.

CHAPTER 6 -AXIALLY LOADED COLUMNS

187

AXIAL LOAD CAPACITY OF COLUMNS Axial load without moment is not a practical case in design of columns, but the discussion of such case is necessary for explaining the theory involved in eccentrically loaded columns. For .a column subjected purely by an axial load, the nominal load Pu that it can carry is the sum of the strength of steel which is fyAst and the strength of concrete 0. 8~f,(A 8 - A5t), where A8 - Ast is the net concrete area, or P, = 0.85fr(Ag- Ast) + fyA st

Eq. 6- 1

~~----------------~--~

To counter the effect of possible eccentricities, the nominal strength P, is multiplied by 0.80 for tied columns and 0.85 for spiral columns. Finally, the ultimate axial load capacity of the column P" is 0Pu, where 0 is 0.70 for tied columns and 0.75 for spiral columns.

ECONOMICAL COLUMN ·DESIGN

In beams, where 60% to 70% of its section is under tension and assumed to be cracked, a section can be made economical by making the tension part smaller in area, as in I or T section. In columns where all the concrete is under compression, savings can be made by using small percentage of longitudinal percentages (since reinforcing bars are quite expensive). This can be accomplished by "using larger column size and/ or higher-strength concrete. If floor space is not a problem, tied columns are more economical than spiral columns particularly if square or rectangular shapes are used. For multi-story buildings, savings can be achieved by using uniform column size. This means that a designer may select a column size for the top floor with the least \ percentage of steel then continue to use the same size for as many stories as J possible by increasing the steel percentage floor by floor as required. ·\' Consistency of column sizes will provide appreciable savings in labor cost.

Composite compression members include all such members reinforced longitudinally with structural steel shapes, pipe, or tubing with or without longitudinal bars. Strength of a composite member is computed for the same limiting j;Onditions applicable to ordinary reinforced concrete members. Any axial load strength assigned to concrete of a composite member should be transferred to the concrete by members or brackets in direct bearing on the composite member concrete.

PROBLEM 6.2

Design a square tied column is to support an axial dead load of 575 kN and an axial live load of 795 kN. Assume f r = 27.6 MPa, and Jy = 414 MPa. Use 28 mm main bars and 10 mm ties. • SOLUTION

In the design of column, first we assume value of steel ratio from 1% to 6% of the gross concrete area. (Ast = 0.01A 8 to 0.06A 8 ). Obviously, if we assume small values of this ratio, the column .size would be bigger and the steel area would be smaller, and vice versa. The author suggests using a value less than the upper limit of 6%A8 , to provide an allowance for excess reinforcement due to availability of bar sizes. The ideal value is from 0.015A 8 to 0.03A 8 . Let us assume Ast = 0.02A 8 The axial load capacity of a tied column is Pu = 00.80[0.85 /r {Ag- Ast) + fy Ast] where 0 = 0.70 P,. = 1.4DL + 1.7LL . = 1.4(575) + 1.7(795) Pu = 2,156.5 kN

CHAPTER 7 - SHORT COLUMNS SUBJECT TO AXIAL LOAD AND BENDING

203

Chapter 7 Short C.olumns Subject to Axial Load and Bending AXIAL LOAD AND BENDING All columns are subject to axial forces as well as some bending and they need to ·be proportioned to resist both forces. The load capacity given by Eq. 6 - 2 and Eq. 6- 3 are only applicable of an eccentricity of 0.10h for tied column and 0.05h for spiral columns. Columns will tend to bend under the action of moment, .which produces · compression on one side of the column and tension on the other side. The following failures are possible under the combined axial and bending loads. 1.

Large axi~lload with negligible momentFailure under this condition occur by crushing of concrete with all reinforcing bars in the column having reached their yield stress in compression

2.

Large axial load and small moment with the entire cross-section in compression Failure occurs by crushing of concrete with all bars in compression.

3.

Large axial load with.moment larger than in (2) - Bars in far side in tension but have not yielded. Failure occurs by crusping of concrete.

4.

Balanced loading condition - Bars on tensile side yield at the same time concrete on compression side crushes at 0.85 f ,.

5.

Large moment, relatively small axial load - Failure initiated by yielding of tensile bars.

6.

Large bending moment - Failure occurs like a beam.

PLAStiC CENTROID The plastic centroid of a column cross section is the point through which the . resultant column load must pass to produce uniform strain in failure. It represents the location of the resultant force produced by the steel and concrete. The eccentricity of a column load is the distance from the load to the plastic centroid of the column.

.

In locating the plastic centroid, all concrete is assumed to be stressed in compression to 0.85 fc and all steel to Jy in compression and the centroid is then located by taking moments due to these forces. For symmetrical sections, the plastic centroid coincides with the centroid of the column cross-section.

The task is to solve the value of c or a. .If all steel yields, the value of c or a can be solved by quadratic equation. However, if some or all steel will not yield, the equation becomes a cubic equation, which can be solved by trial and error. Another approach to solve for Pn is to have series of assumption for the values of c until equilibrium conditions are satisfied.

BALANCED LOADING CONDmON Columns normally fail by either tension or compression. In between the two lies the so-called balanced load condition where failure may be of either type. Balanced loading occurs when the tension steel just reached its yield strain hiEs and the concrete is strained to 0.003. For every column there is always a balanced loading situation where an ultimate load Pb, placed at an eccentricity eb will produce a moment Mboo· If the eccentricity of a column is less than its balance eccentricity eb (e < eb), the column fails in compression (compression controls, /st <-fy), otherwise tension controls (/st = fy). In computing the . balanced loading, the procedure presented in page ·205 is applied with/st =hand solving for c. See Problem 7.2.

COLUMN INTERACTION DIAGRAMS It can be seen that the analysis of column~ with statics equations is very tedios and complicated. As a result, designers resort to diagrams or computer in designing columns. Interaction diagram .is a plot the axial load P, that the column can qury versus its moment M, capacity. This diagram is very useful for studying the strengths of columnS with varying proportidns of loads ~d moments. Any combination of loading that falls inside the curve is satisfactory, whereas arty combination that falls outside represents failure. The diagram is made by plotting the axial load capacity of the column at A, then the balanced loading B, then the bending strength of the column if it is subjected

One could think how difficult to solve for Pu using the statics equation as presented in Problem 7.4. Such solution would lead to correct answer, but the mathematics involved is so complicated that the method is not a practical one, but with the aid of computer such is not a problem.

BRESLER EQUATION

A method published by Professor Boris Bresler in 1960 relates the desired value of 4lPu under biaxial loading (ex and ey) to thre~ other P, values. The equation is: 1 1 1 1 -=-+--pn Pnx Pny pno

Eq. 7-8

where: P,x

= axial load capacity of the column for eccentricity ex with ey = 0 P,y = axial load capacity of the column for eccentricity ey with ex = 0 P, 0 = pure axial capacity of the column Eq. 7 ~ 9

The Bresler equation works well as long as P" is at least as large as 0.1P,o. Should P, be less than 0.1P""' it is satisfactory to neglect the axial force completely and design the section as a member subject to biaxial bending only.

Chapter 8 Long Columns · SLENDERNESS EFFECTS IN COLUMNS

The slenderness of columns depends on its unsupported length and the geometry of its section. As the slenderness increases, the tendency that it will buckle also increases. To visualize the effect of slenderness, let us imagine a stick (say wire or broomstick) with the same cross-sectional area but with varying length, .being compressed until it breaks as shown in Figure 8.1.

Figure 8.1: Stick of the same material and cross-sectional area subjected to different compressiv!'! force P until it breaks

Obviously, Figure 8.1 (a) and Figure 8.1 (b) would have larger value of P until it fails by crushing. This is the situation of a short column. However, Figure 8.1 (c) will fail by lateral buckling due to its length (which increases the slenderness) 'and the value ofP would be lesser than that of(a) and (b). According to Section 5 .10.10.1 of NSCP, design of compression members shall be based on forces and moments determined from analysis of the structure. Such analysis should take into account influence of axial loads and variable moment of inertia on member stiffness and fixed-end moments, effects of

238

REINFORCED CONCRETE DESIGN

deflections on moments and forces, and the effects of duration ofJoads. In lieu of this procedure, the slenderness effects in compression members may be evaluated in accordance with the approximate procedure presented in Sec. 5.10.11.

APPROXIMATE EVALUATION OF SLENDERNESS EFFECTS (SECTION 5.10.11) Unsupported Length of Compression Members

Unsupported length lu of a compression member should be taken as the clear distance between floor slabs, beams, or other members capable of providing lateral support for that compression member. Where column capitals or haunches are present, unsupported length should be measured to the lower extremity of capital or haunch in the place considered.

·effective Length Factors (5.10.11.2.1 & 5.10.11.2.2)

For compression members braced against sidesway, effective length factor k should be taken as 1.0, unless analysis shows that a lower value is justified. For compression members not braced against sidesway, effective length factor k should be determined with due consideration of eff~cts of cracking and reinforcement on relative stiffness, and should be greater than 1.0.

Radius of Gyration

Radius of gyration r may be taken equal to 0.30 times the overall dimension in the direction stability is being considered for rectangular compression members, and 0.25 times the diameter for circular compression members. For other shapes, r may be computed for the gross concrete section. For rectangular compression members: r

= 0.3h

where h =overall dimension in the direction stability is being considered For circular compression members:

r= 0.250

CHAPTER 8- LONG COLUMNS

239

CONSIDERATION OF SLENDERNESS EFFECTS

According to Section 5.10.11.4.1 of the Code, for compression members braced against sidesway, effects of slenderness may be neglected when k lu < r

_ 34 12

Mlb M2b

where M1b is the smaller factored end moment (positive if bent in single curvature) and M2b is the larger factored end moment. For compression members not braced against sidesway, effects of slenderness may be neglected when klu < 22 r

For all compression members with kl, I r > 100, an analysis as defined in Sec. 5.10.10.1 (See Page 237) should be made. ·

Braced and Unbraced Frames

As a guide in judging whether a frame is braced or unbraced, the Commentary on ACI 318-83 indicates that a frame may be considered braced if the bracing elements, such as shear walls, shear trusses, or other means resisting lateral movement if a storey, have a total stiffness at least six times the sum of the stiffnesses of all the columns resisting lateral movement in that storey.

Alignment Charts

The ACI Committee 441 has proposed that k should be obtained from the Jackson and Moreland alignment chart as shown in Figure 8.2. To use this chart, a parameter 'VA for end A of column AB, and a similar parameter \jiB must be computed for end B. The parameter 'V at one end of the column equals the sum of ·the stiffnesses (.L: EI I L) of the column meeting at that joint (including the column in question), divided by the sum of all the stiffnesses of the beam meeting at that joint. Once \j/A and 'VB are known k is obtained by placing a straightedge between 'VA and 'VB· The point where the straightedge crossed the middle monograph is k. I

Figure 8.2: Alignment chart

For columns for which the slenderness ratio lies between 22 and 100, and therefore the slenderness effect on load-carrying capacity must be taken into account, either an elastic analysis can be performed to evaluate the effects ~f lateral deflections · and other ·effects producing secondary stresses, or an approximate method based on MOMENT MAGNIFICATION may be used.

MOMENT MAGNIFIER METHOD

The effect in slenderness in long columns may be approximately accounted for in design by empirically increasing the factored design moment.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEM PROBLEM 8.1

A square column having an unsupported length of 6 m is used in a frame braced against sidesway (k "" 1.0). The column is bent in single curvature and subjected to factored end moments of 80 kN-m at the top and 60 kN~m at the bottom. Find its minimum dimension such that slenderness may not be considered in the analysis. SOLUTION

The column length is 4.5 m and is to be used in a frame braced against sidesway (the effective length factor k can be taken as 1 and EI = 34 MN-m 2) . The column is loaded in single curvature by the ultimate (factored) moments of 110 kN-m at its top end and 120 kN-m at its bottom end. The column carries factored axial load due to dead load of 150 kN and 350 kN due to live load. Calculate the magnified factored moment Me. SOLUTION

M2b = larger factored end moment = 120 kN-m Mtb =smaller factored end moment= +110 kN-m Note: Mt b is positive because it is bent in single curvature

CHAPTER 9 • FOOTINGS

259

Chapter 9 Footings DEFINmON

Footings are structural members used to support columns or walls and transmit their load to the underlying soils. Reinforced concrete is the most suited material for footing for reinforced concrete and structural steel buildings, walls, towers, bridges, and other structures. ~ince

the bearing capacity of soils is normally low (usually less than 400 kPa), and the load from a column or wall is large (usually greater than 1000 kPa), the footing spreads the column or wall pressure to the soil by providing bigger bearing area, thus reducing the bearing pressure within permissible values.

TYPES OF FOOTINGS

The common types of footing are the wall footing, isolated or single-column footing, combined footing, raft or mat, and pile caps. , 1. A wall footing, is a continuous strip of concrete that supports a bearing wall. · 2. An isolated or single-column footing, is a square, rectangular, or circular slab of concrete that supports an individual column. These are widely used for columns with light load and are not closely spaced. 3. A combined footing is a longer rectangular slab strip that supports two or more individual columns. This type might be economical where two heavily loaded columns are so spaced that when designed for isolated footing would run into each other. Isolated footings .are usually square or rectangular and, when used for columns located right at the property line, would extend beyond those lines. The footing for such a column can be combined with an interior column to fit within the property line. 4. A floating, raft, or mat foundation is a single thick mat or slab that supports the entire structure. This kind of foundation is used where soil strength is low or where column loads are large but where piles or caissons are not used. For these types of footings, the excavations are deep. The goal is to remove an amount of earth approximately equal to the building weight.

PERMISSIBLE SOIL PRESSURES, qa The allowable soil bearing capacity q" to be used in the design of footing can be obtained by the principles of soil mechanics through the services of a soils engineer. This can be derived on the basis of test borings, load tests, and other experiL11ental investigation.

In the absence of soil investigation, the building code of the Philippines provide certain approximate allowable bearing pressures that can be used for the type of soil and soil conditions.

ILLUSTRATIVE PROBLEMS

PROBLEM 9.1

A ·square column footing is to support a 400-mm square tied column that . carries a dead load of 880 kN ahd a live load of 710 kN. the column is reinforced ,with 8-25 mm bars. · The base .of the footing is 1.50 m below the natural grade where the allowable soil pressure is 23~ kPa. The soil above ;j the footing has a weight of 15.6, kN/m3.: Assuming fy = 275 MPa, fc = 27.5 .._ -;_ :_~~· MPa, and unit weight of concrete as 23.50 kN/m3,design the footing. Use 25 l min main bars. .J SOLUTION Our firsrtask in the design of footing is' the determination of its depth. This requires several cycles of trial and error procedure because its value affects the .effective soil bearing capacity; There are several rules of thumb used by designers for making initial thickness estimates, such as 20% qf the footing.width plus 75 mm. However, with the aid of computer (available at GERTC), this will become easier.

lriitial estimate of footing depth: A ttg = L2 = (880 + 710)/235 _ L = 2.6m L = 2600mm Depth = 20% (2,600) + 75 = 595 mm say 600 mm ·Effective s'lil .bearing capacity: q, = q. - 'Y h =i35 .:: 23.5(0.6) - 15.6(1.5- 0.6) q. =:= 2o6.86 kPa

Design a rectangular column footing to carry the following column loads: PoL= 800 kN MoL = 160 kN-m PLL = 670 kN MLL = 170 kN-m The column is 500 mm x 500 mm and is reinforced with 8-25 mm bars. The base of footing is 1.6 m below the natural grade and the effective soil bearing capacity may be conservatively taken as 190 kPa.

Another situation is when the column is very near the property line, such that an isolated footing would extend across the line. A trapezoidal ·footing or strap (T) footings may also be used 'the two adjacent column are very near the property line. , In. any of these shapes, it is very ip1portant to let the centroid bf the footing coincide with the centroid of the combined column loads.

Usually, the strap is raised above the bottom of the footing so ,as not to bear on · the· soil. The strap should be designe.d as a rectangular beam spanning between the columns. The loads on it inc_lude its own weight (when it does not rest on soil), the1upward pressure from the footings, and the colun1n loads. The width strap is usually Selected equalto that of the largest ·c9lumn plus 100 mm to 200mm so thatcolumn forms can be supported on top of the strap. Its depth is determined by the maximufl' bending moment.

CHAPTER 10- TWO-WAY SLAB

335

Chapter 10 Two-way Slab When a rectangular reinforced-concrete slab is supported on all four sides, reinforcement placed perpendicular to the side may be assumed effective in the two directions. These slabs ~e known as two-way slabs. The bending on these slabs occurs in both directiOns. However, if a rectangular slab is supported in all four sides but the long side is two or more times the short side, the slab will, for all practical purposes, act as a one way slab, with' bending occurring in the short direction.

Figure 10.1: Bending of two-way slab

The Code specifies two methods of designing two-way slabs. These are the direct design method (Section 5.13.6) and equivalent frame method (Section 5.13.7). However, there are other methods that can be used. These include the strip method and moment coeffidents method (Method 2).

COLUMN AND MIDDLE STRIPS When the design moments have been determined by either the direct design method or equivalent frame method, the moments are distributed across each panel. The panel is divided into column and middle strips. Column strip is a design strip with a width on each side of a column centerline equal to 0.25 x L2 or 0.25 x Lt, whichever is less. Column strip includes beams, if any. The middle strip is a design strip bounded by two column strips.

For slabs with beams between supports, the slab portion of column strips shall be proportioned to resist that portion of column strip moments not resisted by beams.

Factored Moments in Beams (Section 5.13.6.5) Beams between supports shall be proportioned to resist 85 percent of column strip moments if (a.1L2/L1) is equal to or greater than LO. For values of (a.1L2/ L;) between 1.0 and zero, proportion of column strip moments resisted by beams shall be obtained by linear interpolation between &; and zero percent.

Factored Moments in Middle Strips That portion of negative and positive factored moments not resisted by column strips shall be proportionately assigned to corresponding half middle strips. Each middle strip shall be proportioned to resist the sum of the moments assigned to its two half rriiddle strips. A middle strip adjacent to and parallel with an edge supported by a wall shall be proportioned to resist twice the moment assigned to the half middle strip corresponding to the first row of interior supports. Modification of Factored Moments Negative and positive factored moments may be modified by 10 percent provided the total static moment for a panel in the direction considered is not less than that required b.y Eq. 10- 6. ·
