1. Whenever the slab thickness is 150mm, the bar diameter shall be 10mm
for normal spacing.(It can be 8mm at very closely spaced).
2. Slab thickness can be 10mm,110mm,120mm,125mm,150mm, etc.
3. The maximum spacing of Main bar shall not exceed 200mm(8) and the
distribution bars @ 250mm(10).
4. If the roof slab is supported by load bearing wall(without any frames) a
bed block of 150/200mm shall be provided along the length of supports
which will aid in resisting the lateral forces.
bottom storey quite different from those resulting from the assumption of a
rigid base. The consequences can be unexpected column HINGES at the top
of lower storey
columns under seismic lateral forces. In such cases the column base
should be modeled by a rotational springs. (Ref:page 164-Seismic design of
Reinforced concrete and
Masonry buildings by T.Paulay & M.J.N.Priestley.)
Also refer the Reinforced concrete Designers Handbook by Reynold
where it is clearly mention about the column base support.
R.C.C.WALLS:
1. The minimum reinforcement for the RCC wall subject to BM shall be as
follows:
A. Vertical reinforcement:
a) 0.0012 of cross sectional area for deformed bars not
larger than 16mm in diameter and with characteristic
strength 415 N/mm^2 or greater.
b) 0.0015 of cross sectional area for other types of bars.
c) 0.0012 of cross sectional area for welded fabric not larger
than 16mm in diameter.
Maximum horizontal spacing for the vertical reinforcement
shall neither exceed three times the wall thickness nor
450mm.
B. Horizontal reinforcement.
a) 0.0020 of cross sectional area for deformed bars not larger
than 16mm in diameter and with characteristic strength 415
N/mm^2 or greater.
b) 0.0025 of cross sectional area for other types of bars.
c) 0.0020 of cross sectional area for welded fabric not larger
than 16mm in diameter.
Maximum vertical l spacing for the vertical reinforcement shall
neither exceed three times the wall thickness nor 450mm.
NOTE: The minimum reinforcement may not always be
sufficient to provide adequate resistance to effects of
shrinkage and temperature.
2. The He/t for a RCC wall shall not exceed 30 as per IS:456=2000, where
He is the effective height of the wall and t is the thickness of the RC wall. He for a
braced wall will be :
The Depth to span ratio for a truss is h/L=10. Beyond a certain optimal
value, increase in structural depth increases weight. The same principle applies
to trusses. An optimal
depth/span ratio for a planar truss is approximately 1/10. Although forces in
the CHORDS decrease with increasing depth, forces in the WEB are practically
UNCHANGED and
increasing the depth increases the lengths of these members.
Approximately half the web members are in COMPRESSION and increasing
their lengths reduces their efficiency
due to the increased susceptibility to BUCKLING.
3. VIERENDEEL GIRDER:
The span to depth ratio=1/8 to 1/10 are typical.
The compression on top chord or tension in the bottom chord for a UDL
loading is C=T= qL^2/8h where q is the udl and h is the depth.
4. CABLE:
A structure in pure TENSION having the funicular shape of its load is
termed as Cable.
4.ARCH:
Let us now invert the shape of a cable under a given load, that is the sag
at any point is turned into a rise. The point is now above the chord joining
the end points by the
same amount it was previously below it. A structure built according to the
funicular shape in COMPRESSION is termed as an ARCH.
The optional rise to span ratio for an arch is in the range of 1/6-1/4. The
depth to span ratio of an arch is usually in the range of 1/40 -1/70.
5. FOLDED PLATE:
The typical depth /span ratio is in the range from 1/15 to 1/10.
6. FLATE PLATE:
A typical depth of a solid FLAT PLATE is 1/22 -1/18 of the effective span.
7. TWO-WAY RIBBED SLAB:
Supported on continuous stiff supports are in the range of 1/30-1/25 of the
lesser effective span.
8. FLAT PLATE RIBBED SLAB:
Typical depth of flat plate ribbed slabs are in the range of 1/20-1/17 of the
lesser effective span.
9. DOMES:
The structural depth of DOMES is the full height of the dome from base to
crown. Depth to span ratio range from as low as 1/8 for shallow domes to
for deep domes.
A depth /span ratio of 1/5-1/4 is a common value which is near optimal for
many applications.
