2. Shear reinforcement calculations
Grid line A (B38)


From ETABS output, Design shear force, V = 241.51 KN
Provide 2 legged 8 mm dia stirrups with 100 mm spacing
Providing 30 mm clear cover, Asv = 2*3.14/4*10^2 = 100 mm^2
Effective depth = 500-60 = 440 mm
Vus = 0.87*fy*Asv*d/Sv = 0.87*415*100*440/100 = 158.862 KN
Since Vus < V ( Design shear force), hence safe.
So provide 2 legged 8 mm dia stirrups with 100 mm spacing.
Grid line 3 ( B 24)



From ETABS Design shear force = 209.58 KN
Provide 2 legged 8 mm dia stirrups with 100 mm spacing
Providing 30 mm clear cover, Asv = 2*3.14/4*10^2 = 100 mm^2
Effective depth = 500-60 = 440 mm
Vus = 0.87*fy*Asv*d/Sv = 0.87*415*100*440/100 = 158.862 KN
Since Vus < V ( Design shear force), hence safe.
So provide 2 legged 8 mm dia stirrups with 100 mm spacing.
3. Reasons for failure of the middle span along grid 3

- From the above ETABS output it has been shown that the limiting value of shear force and developed shear force remains the same. Hence it is not safe
The possible ways to solve this problem can be :-
a) By providing higher grade of concrete
b) By reducing effective depth
4. Calculate the value of maximum shear force

- As per IS 13920-2016, new load combinations has been added for sway combination, the partial factor for dead and live load is considered to be 1.2

Sway to left:-
V(u+a) = 70.58 KN, Mu (As) = 160.776 KN and Mu (Bh) = 233.59 KN
Vu,a = 70.58 - 1.4*(160.774+233.54)/3.9 = -70.998 KN
Vu,a = 70.58 + 1.4*(160.774+233.59)/3.9 = 212.14 KN
Sway to right:-
V(u+a) = 70.58n KN, Mu (Ah) = 154.79 KN, Mu (Bs) = 219.14 KN
Vu,a = 70.58 - 1.4*(154.79+219.14)/3.9 = -54.06 KN
Vu,b = 70.58 + 1.4*(154.79+219.14)/3.9 = 195.22 KN
