Reinforcement Detailing of Beams from ETABS output

  • AIM: To provide details of longitudnal and shear reinforcement for the two continous beams usinf ETABS
  • PROCEDURE:

STEP 1):

  • After downloading the model given in the question ,click the concreter frame design tool in the ribbon tab
  • Choose the appropriate design combination
  • Select the appropriate combination from the dialog box
  • CLick OK

STEP 2)

  • Once the analysis is done ,click frame icon
  • After clicking the icon ,it starts checking the concrete design

STEP:3)

  • After the checking is done ,go to the plan view
  • On the plan view we have a column and beam detailing
  • For this gridd 3 and grid A need to provide reinforcement details

STEP 4:)

AT TOP

  • Maximum Ast support =2045
  • Maximum Ast at middle=485
  • 2 dia of 32 mm= 1606
  • 1 dia of 25 mm= 490

To satisfy the support we need to provide 2 dia of 32mm bar and additionally in the middle need to provide 1 dia of 25mm

AT BOTTOM

  • Maximum Ast at support=1056
  • Maximum Ast at middle=1501
  • 3 dia of 25 mm =1470
  • 1 dia of 16mm=200.96

To satisfy the support we need to provide 3 dia of 25 mm bar and additionally in the middle of need to provide 1 dia of 16mm

STEP 5)

GRID A:

  • Maximum Ast at support=1927
  • Maximum Ast at middle=789
  • 2 dia of 32mm
  • 1 dia of 16mm

To satisfy the support we need to provide 2 dia of 32mm bar and additionally in the middle need to provide 1 dia of 16mm

STEP 6:)

  • Right click the grid A beam
  • Click detailas and switch it into shear details

STEP 7:)

  • As per clause 6.3.3 the design force of equivalent Ve=242.75kn
  • Shear force under the linear analysis as per load combination of UDCCons66=194.825
