a.) See figure below.
b.) Secant modulus (at fc/2 = 1910 psi.)
Ec = 1910 / 6.1010-4 = 3130 ksi.
Approximate Initial Modulus = 2.6(ksi.) / 5.4510-4 = 4771 ksi.
(Possible range 4600 5200)
c.) Ec (ACI formula) = 57000 fc ' = 57000 3820 = 3523 ksi.

Problem E5.2: Deep Beam Design Example: Bridge Bent Cap Using Strut and Tie Method
Load Combination: U = 1.8 [DL + (LL+I)]
PGirder = 1.8 x 580 kips = 1044 kip
WDL = 1.8 x 8.5 kips/lf = 15.3 kip/lf
WLL = 1.8 x 7.6 kips/lf = 13.6 kip/ft
Strut And Tie Model:
P1 = 1195 kip
Lclr / Ds = 1.21
< 4 Bent Cap is considered a deep beam
Angle between strut and tie = 46d > 26d Good
Check Maximum Shear Strength of Beam X-Section:
(ACI 318-08 11.7.3)
Vu = 1195 kip
Assume d = 0.9 * h = 75.6 in
Vn = 2886 kip > Vu
Good
Force Resultants:
From Truss Analysis, internal forces are presented below. Since the bent cap is symmetrical, the
left side is designed and reinforcement will be applied symmetrically.
Member 1 and 2 (Tie) T1 = T2= 1020 kip Tension
Member 3 (Strut) C3 = 1570 kip Compression
Member 6, 7 and 8 (Tie) T6 = T7 =T8 = 0 kip

Nodal zone C
Horizontal width
wc = 910 kip / 0.75 * 3.4ksi *72in = 4.96 in
Tie 2 width
w2 = 6.5 * (1020kip / 910kip) = 5.6 in
Strut 5 width

Nodal zone D1 and D3
Assume same widths as Nodal zone A and C
Nodal zone D2
Assume same widths as Nodal zone B
Check Capacity of Struts:

Sin 40d = 0.64, As / (b * s) * sin = 0.00156
Design of horizontal tie 1 and 2:
Fu = *As*fy
As = 1020 kip / (0.75 * 60 ksi) = 22.7 in^2
22.7 in^2 / (1 in^2) #9 Bars = 23

1.) Wu (on stairs) = 386 lb./ft.
Wu (on landing) = 326 lb./ft.
2.) Calculate the maximum bending moment and steel reinforcement
a) Mu = 13.37 k.ft.; Use #5 bars @ 7 in.; For 5.5 in. width stairs, use 10#5 bars
b) Transverse reinforcement for shrinkage: use #4 bars @ 12 in. (As = 0.2 in.2)
4.) Design of landing: Use #4 bars @ 12 in. (As = 0.2 in.2)
5.) Check shear (stairs): Vu = 2.4 K < Vc/2 = 3.45 k., no shear reinforcement required .
6.) Check shear at loading: Vud = 1.2 K < Vc/2 O.K.
Problem 18.4:
1.) Wu (on stairs) = 252.2 lb./ft.
Wu (on landing) = 194 lb./ft.
2.) Maximum bending moment and steel reinforcement:
Mu = 0.80 k.ft.; Use #3 bars @ 12 in. (As = 0.11 in.2)
3.) Since Vu = 0.567 K < Vc/2, no shear reinforcement is required. But it is recommended to
use stirrups #3 @ 4 in. to hold the main reinforcement.
4.) Design of supporting beam: As = 1.5 in.2, use 3#7 (As = 1.8 in.2)
5.) Check beam A for torsion when L.L. acts on one side of stairs.
Ta = 17.75 k.in. < Tu = 38.4 k.in.; Torsional reinforcement is needed and section is not adequate.
Use #3 closed stirrups @ 4 in.
