Challenge

Reinforcement Detailing of Beams from ETABS output

Aim - Calculate the amout of steel required for the beam from the results we got from ETABS 

Procedure - 

Grid A

Longituditudinal reinforcement

As we see the results

There are 3 spams in the grid A

Span 1 

1026/490=3

3 no of main bars  of 25mm

1no of extra bar of 25mm

Spam 2 is over stressed

Span 3

1020/490= 2.08 = 3

3 no of main reinforcement of 25mm

1 no of extra reinforcement of 25mm

Shear reinforcement

 For shear reinforcement

Trial and error method

Lets us consider of 200mm

1000/200 x 5.375 x 50 = 1343 which is very higher than all the values

So we can use 200mm spacing and 8mm bar dia

Grid 3

Longitudinal reinforcement

There are 7 spans

Span 1

3 no of main bars of 20mm dia

2 no of extra bars of dia 16mm

Span 2

3 no of main bars of 20mm dia

2 no of extra bars of dia 16mm

Span 3 

3 no of main bars of 20mm dia

4 no of extra bars of dia 25mm

Span 4

3 no of main bars of 20mm dia

4 no of extra bars of dia 25mm

Span 5

3 no of main bars of 20mm dia

3 no of extra bars of dia 25mm

Span 6

3 no of main bars of 20mm dia

3 no of extra bars of dia 25mm

Span 7

3 no of main bars of 20mm dia

3 no of extra bars of dia 20mm

Shear reinforcement

 For shear reinforcement

Trial and error method

Lets us consider of 200mm

1000/200 x 9 x 50 = 2250 which is very higher than all the values

So we can use 200mm spacing and 8mm bar dia

Sway check

spam 1

We gat the value of 1.2(DD+LL) = 37.25

Moment as A sagging - 299

Moment at B hogging

37.25-(299+292/5.375)

=-116.93 manual check

Design check value is 15.13

Design is greater value 

Auto cadd drawings

Grid A

Grid 3 -

For over stressed section we have the chances to do

1- To increase the sectional properties

2- To decrease the loadings

3- To use higher grade of concrete than usual such as M30,M40...
