Reinforcement Detailing of Beams from ETABS output

  • Download the file and open the ETABS software.
  • Check the model

  • Model has been checked

  • Go to concrete frame design > select preferences

  • Click on concrete frame design
  • Choose it as total longitudinal reinforcing

  • Choose it as shear reinforcing steel

  • Right Click on the individidul members

  • Check the load combinations for the respective members

1. Provide details of longitudinal and shear reinforcement along grid A and grid 3 with the help of excel sheet:-

Along grid 3

  • Provide 2 nos of 20 mm extra bars at the top right and left hand of the beam respectively

Beam 16 (Along grid 3)

  • Provide 2 nos of 25 mm dia bars at the top and bottom of the beam
  • Provide 2 nos of 20 mm extra bars at the top right and left hand of the beam respectively

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
