Reinforcement Detailing of Beams from ETABS output

Introduction:-

Seismic force :- It is the external force applied to the structure as a result earthquake generated agitation

  • In this the earthquake occured at once in a 2500 years
  • Seismic cannot be determined it's a less uncertainity
  • Seismic force occure at the ground level in all the directions and it has 3degree of freedom they are 2 translational and 1 rotational force
  • The base shear starts at the bottom of the buildings when the seismic load occures

ETABS :-

  • The full form of ETABS is Extended three dimensional analysis of building system
  • ETABS software was started by CSI (Computers and Structural ,Inc
  • ETABS is a engineering software which is used for multistorey analysis and design
  • In this software we can analyse and design the seismic load, wind load, and other loads
  • In this software we are defining and assigning the materials, frame sections, slab sections diaphragm etc.,
  • This software give the proper output result to that analysed model
  • In this question the model is given in the question itself so we need to analyse and design the frame structures
  • By using an AutoCAD draw the detailing of the beam

Answers along with procedure:-

Detailing rule of any reinforced concrete member

  • Minimum reinforcement for shrinkage and temperature
  • Reinforcement required for limiting crack width
  • Ultimate limit state design rebar requirement
  • Ductility rebar requirement

Which ever is greater should be drawn in detailing

Minimum longitudinal reinforcement as per IS 13920-2016 clause 6.2.1 As = 360mm^2

Minimum shear (or) trnasverse reinforcement as per IS 456:2000 clause 26.5.1.6 (Assuming 1000mm spacing in the formula) Asv = 332mm^2

Development length as per IS 456:2000 clause 26.2.1 Ld = 41xdiameter of the bar

ETABS design Procedure:-

Step1:-

  • The ETABS model file is given in the question
  • Open the file in a ETABS software
  • Click on the Run analysis

Step2:-

  • After the analysis complete then click on concrete frame design
  • And wait for some times it will give the details about reinforcement, shear, bending moment etc.,

Step3:-

  • When the concrete design has done then it shows the longitudina reinforcement
  • This is the snap shot of the longitudinal reinforcement required

Step4:-

  • After the longitudinal reinforcement
  • To see the shear reinforcement Go to the concrete design then go to the display design information
  • Then select the shear reinforcement it shows the shear reinforcement values
  • The snap shot is inserted below

Step5:-

Longitudinal reinforcement of the beam at Grid A from ETABS (mm^2)

Shear reinforcement of the beam at the Grid A from ETABS (cm^2/1000)

Step6;-

Longitudinal reinforcement of the beam at Grid 3 from ETABS (mm^2)

Shear reinforcement of the beam at the Grid 3 from ETABS (cm^2/1000)

Additional reinforcement guidelines from the IS 13920-2016 clause 6

As per IS 13920-2016 clause 6.3.3(b) the sway shear force is given

Step7:- Sway shear force at right

Sway shear force at left

The value of Vua D+L is 70.5835 is taken from the ETABS model

The value of Vub D+L is 70.333 is taken from the ETABS model

Here the value of Mu As , Mu Bh , Mu Ah , Mu Bs are given by the ETABS model

+ve reprsesnts - Sagging

-ve represesnts - Hogging

  • Mu As = 161.072 KN-m
  • Mu Bh =219.3905 KN-m
  • Mu Ah = 233.3577 KN-m
  • Mu Bs = 154.5493 KN-m

Here the length is given as 4500mm by the ETABS

so the LAB = 4500mm

Here the calculation is done according to the formula

Vua D+L

Vub D+L

Compare Vua on both left and right sway then take a hiighest value in that

Compare Vub on both left and right sway then take a hiighest value in that

Vua = 50.09KN

Vub = 191.015KN

Here we are using 3L-8mm dia bars at 100mm c/c at the support and 3L-8mm dia at 175mm c/c at the midspan

Step8:- Detailing for beam along A-1 to A-3

This detailing drawing is for A-1 to A-3

Detailing for beam along 3-A to 3-B

This detailing drawing is for 3-A to 3-B

Result:-

  • As per the given data the beam detailing is done by using AutoCAD
  • The details of longitudinal and shear reinforcement are done for both the continuous beams
  • The details of longitudinal and shear reinforcement in ETABS also calculated

Shear stress :- It is the ratio of the load applied to its unit area

  • In the shear stress we can increase the load and decrease the load so that we can increase and decrease the shear stress

Shear capacity of the concrete

  • It depend on the characteristic strength of the concrete
  • The shear capacity varies with the grade of the concerete
  • Instead of using a M-20 grade to this failing structure we can use high grade of the concrete only for this concrete only (M-25 or M-30)
  • So that we can increase the shear capacity of the beam
  • Hence the failing structure become safe
