Challenge

Reinforcement Detailing of Beams from ETABS output

AIM:

i) To design the beams in detail from the Etabs

ii) To provide the detailing of longitudinal and shear reinforcement for two continuous beams.

iii) To calculate the value of maximum shear force in any one of the spans in the continuous beams

iv) To provide the reasons for the failure of the middle span along grid A

PROCEDURE:

STEP 1:

i) Open the challenge 7 attachment provided to us and download it.

ii) After downloading open the Challenge open it in the Etabs software.

Step 2)

i) Now check the load combinations which are already created in given modeling file .

Step 3)

i) Before Run Analysis we have to check the model

ii) Click on Analyze

iii) Click on Check Model

iv) A structure is verified without any error and the Model has been checked.

Step 4)

i) Now we have to start the beam design by selecting the 'Start Design/Check' option.

ii) Once you click on Start / Design check you will see Display concrete frame Design results box .

iii) Where you can select whatever design output you want

iv) So Click on Longitudinal Reinforcement.

Step 5)

i) Once you click on it, Longitudinal reinforcement details will appear.

Step 6) :

1) Reinforcement details along Grid A -

i) Max Ast">AstVu,a at bottom support = 1026 mm2

ii) Max Ast">Ast at bottom middle = 757 mm2

iii) Max Ast">Ast at Top support = 1896 mm2

iv) Max Ast">Ast at Top middle = 474 mm2

Reinforcement Calculation -

1) For Top -

i) Total Ast required at top is = 1896 MM^2

So we can provide

3 bars of diameter 20 mm and 5 bars of 16 mm satisfies the overall Ast

3 x T20 = 942 mm2

5 x T16 = 804 mm2

3 X T20 + 5 x T16 = 1946mm2.......................Hence Satisfy .

2) FOR BOTTOM: -

i) Total Ast required at top is = 1026 MM^2.

So we can provide

2 bars of diameter 20 mm and 2 bars of 16 mm satisfies the overall Ast

2 x T20 = 628 mm2

2 x T16 = 402 mm2

2X T20 + 2 x T16 = 1030 mm2........................Hence Satisfy .

3) For Shear details -

i) Right Click on and Click on Details

ii) Click on Shear Details

FIG.

iii) As per Clause 6.3.3 we have to provide Spacing till 2d from the face of the column is 100 .

iv) It should not be more than that

v) So provide 3 legged stirrups of 10mm diameter with 100mm spacing throught the beam length .

Step 8)

i) Now we have to do Check for Sway shear .

A) For Right Sway

We know that the formula to calcuate :

From Etabs Model results substitute the value -

i) VuD+L= 92 Kn

ii) Mas= 176 kn-m

`ii) Mbh= 295 kn&n`

iv) Lab = 4.725 m

Put this value in the above eqn

we get ,

Vu,a= 48 Kn

Vu,b = 230 Kn

B) For Left Sway

i) Follow the same process

ii) We know the formula

From Etabs Model results substitute the value -

i) VuD+L= 74 Kn

`i) Mah= 23`

iii) Mbs= 150 kn

iv) Lab = 4.725 m

Put this value in the above eqn

we get,

= 190 Km

Vu,b = 50 Km

C) Existing Shear capacity in beam as per Is 456-2002

i) We know the formula -

Put the values -

i) fy = 415 N/mm2

ii) Asv = 151 mm2

iii) Spacing = 100 mm

iv) d = 450 mm .

put this value in above eqn

we get

VusVus) = 246 kn............................................> 230 kn ( Shear sway)........... ( Hence Safe )

Results -

i) Beam Design is done successfully with detailed reinforcement .

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

1) The main reason of failure of middle span along grid A is shear stress is exceeded the limiting value

2) This may be beacause of the higher Shear force acting on that beam and due to provision of weak shear

reinforcement at the end supports .

3) This Issue can be Solved by -

i) By providing Higher grade of concrete in that particular section

ii) Or by reducing the Shear force in that beam section

iii) Or by providing higher shear reinforcement which can resist the shear force in that section

iii) 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.

As we have already calculated the value of shear force as per IS 13920 - 2016 Clause 6.3.3 (b)

We get the Shear sway value Right and Left support within limit

246 kn > 230 Kn ...................( Safe )
