Exercise 9:
An internal 400 mm square column supports a
300mm thick slab. The ULS reaction is 1042kN
The cover was determined to 30mm.

The flexural design requires H20 @ 125mm c/c (Asl= 2513mm2) in y direction
(T1)and H25@
150mm (Asl= 3272mm2) c/c in z direction (T2)
Calculate applied shear force VEd,eff = x VEd

- Mean Value of effective depth:

dy = 300 - 30 -20 - 25/2 = 237.5 mm
dz = 300 - 30 -20 / 2 = 260 mm
deff = (237.5 + 260 ) / 2 =

- Shear stress at face of column (check at column perimeter uo)

check if shear reinforcement is required @ u0
Adjacent to the column the punching shear resistance is limited to
a maximum of:

Shear stress ved = x Ved / (uo x d ) =

- Calculate shear reinforcement between u0 and u1:

EC2 (6.52)

From:

Where
:
vRd,cs = vEd =

3.01 N/mm^2

vRd,c =

1.40 N/mm^2

d = deff =

500 / s = 500 / 1,15 =

Ok

3129 mm

3129 mm + 4 x 400mm =

u1 =

312

Therefore use fywd,ef =

uradius =

N/mm

250 + 0.25 x 249mm=

4729 mm

0.75 x 249mm =

125

mm

use say sr =

187 mm

Therefore resolve equation as follows:

Asw > (vEd - 0.75 vRd,c) sr u1 / 1.5
fywd,ef

2474 mm2

Asw > ((3.01N/mm2 - 0.75 x 1.4N/mm2) x 125mm x 4729mm) / (1.5 x 312.25N/mm2) =

Asw,min > 0.08 fck (sr x st) /(1.5fyk sin + cos )
where:
st =

(transversal spacing)

st = 1.5 x d (if inside u1)

300

st = 2.0 x d (if outside u1)

therefore st < 1.5 x 249mm =

373.5

mm

Asw,min > 0.08 x 30^0.5 (125 x 300) /(1.5 x 500 x 1 + 0) =

mm

use
21.9 mm2

Therefore use :
Asw >

2474

mm

use :

H20 @ 125mm c/c =

2513

mm

Note: To choose the reinforcement you vary the spacing to find a sensible diameter.

- check if shear reinforcement is required @ u1:

Shear stress ved = x Ved / (u1 x d ) =

1199 x 10^3 / ( 4729 x 249 ) =

Therefore shear reinforcement not required @ u1 provide Asw beween u0 and u1 as above
