Challenge

Reinforcement Detailing of Beams from ETABS output

AIM

Detailed design of beams in Etabs 2018.

The ETABS file for a G+4 building is provided. Run the analysis and design the RCC Moment ResistingFrame. The following challenge deals specifically with two continuous beams in the 1st floor.

1) 3 span continuous beam along grid A

2) 7 span continuous beam along grid 3




INTRODUCTION

ETABS is an engineering software that is used for multi-story building analysis and design. Modeling tools and templates, code-based load prescriptions, analysis methods and solution techniques, all coordinate with the grid-like geometry unique to this class of structure.

Here we are analysing a given structure and detailed drawing of the beam is drawn using AutoCAD.

We provide longitudinal and shear reinforcement according to the results from the ETABS analysing

PROCEDURE

Step 1:Open the given file

Click on the Run analyse

Step 2:Click on Concrete Frame Design

Step 3:Select Concrete Frame Design button

Select Display Design Info

Select longitudinal reinforcement.

Step 4:Select 3 span continuous beam along grid A

Longitudinal Reinforcement

Ast at top =1906 mm^2

Ast at bottom=1026 mm^2

At top provide 2 number of 32 mm diameter bars and one 20 mm diameter bar

Ast=(2 x 804) + (1x314)

=1922 mm^2

At bottom provide 2 number of 28 mm diameter bars

Ast=(2 x 616)

=1232 mm^2

Ln/4=5000/4=1350

Anchorage length=Ld+10db

Ld = φ σst/4τ bd

τ bd value from the IS 456:2000 ,we know=2.72

So, Ld for T-32 rebar,

Ld=((32x415)/(4x2.72))

Ld=1221 mm

Anchorage length(32mm bar)=1221+10*32

=1541mm

Anchorage length(20mm bar)=765+10*20

=965mm

Anchorage length(28mm bar)=1068+10*28

=1348mm

Shear Reinforcement

As per IS 13290,Shear reinforcement length from end support =2d

d=500-25-32

=443

2 d=886

Provide 2 leg 8 mm diameter bars

Maximum shear =1481

1481/100=14.81=15

Spacing

d/4=443/4=110

8db=8*32=256

100mm

So,

Provide 8 mm 2 legged bar at 100 mm c/c spacing at ends

Midspan

1309/100=13

Provide 8 mm dia bars at 150 mm c/c spacing



Step 5:7 span continuous beam along grid 3

Longitudinal Reinforcement

Ast at top =1940 mm^2

Ast at bottom=1501 mm^2

At top provide 2 number of 32 mm diameter bars and one 24 mm diameter bar

Ast=(2 x 804) + (1x452)

=2060 mm^2

At bottom provide 2 number of 32 mm diameter bars

Ast=(2 x 804)

=1608 mm^2

Ln/4=4500/4=1125

Anchorage length=Ld+10db

Ld = φ σst/4τ bd

τ bd value from the IS 456:2000 ,we know=2.72

So, Ld for T-32 rebar,

Ld=((32x415)/(4x2.72))

Ld=1221 mm

Anchorage length(32mm bar)=1221+10*32

=1541mm

Anchorage length(24mm bar)=915+10*24

=1155mm

Shear Reinforcement

As per IS 13290,Shear reinforcement length from end support =2d

d=500-25-32

=443

2 d=886

Provide 2 leg 8 mm diameter bars

Maximum shear =1496

1481/100=14.96=15

Spacing

d/4=443/4=110

8db=8*32=256

100mm

So,

Provide 8 mm 2 legged bar at 100 mm c/c spacing at ends

Midspan

1200/100=12

Provide 8 mm dia bars at 150 mm c/c spacing

Provide reasons for failure of the middle span along grid A. What are the possible ways this issue can be resolved?

The midspan is failed due to overstress

if we increase the cross-sectional area and thereby reduce the stress

Or it can be reduced by varying grade of concrete

Use higher grade of concrete on this beam alone

Calculate value of the maximum shear force in any one of the spans in both the continuous beams, as per clause 6.3.3 (b) in IS 13920 – 2016. Also, confirm these values from shear force demand calculated by ETABS.Please note that if longitudinal reinforcement provided is more than required (as per ETABS results), the shear force demand will vary from what is provided by ETABS.

Select define-load combination

Add new load combination

Select display frame

Select load case as sway

Select shear



Sway Shear force to the Right

Vua = 46 KN

Vub = 223 KN



Sway Shear force to the left

Vua = 185 KN

Vub = 45 KN

Maximum value is 223 KN



Vus = 0.87fy Asv d / Sv

= 0.87x415x150x450 / 100

Vus = 245 KN

so, Vus = 245 KN>223KN,

Hence shear rebar in drawing is okay as per IS-13920 code guideline

RESULT

Longitudinal and shear reinforcement for the two continuous beams are drawn
