DESIGN OF Perapet Wall

The basic stress value is as per Table 6.5 of IRC 112

Chararcteristic Strength of Concrete, fck = M 30 Mpa (Table 6.5, IRC:112-2011)
Yield Strength of Steel, fy = Fe 500 Mpa (Table 18.1,IRC:112-2011)

Partial safety factor for concrete (basic & seismic) γm = 1.5

Partial safety factor for Steel (basic & seismic) γs = 1.15
Partial safety factor for concrete (accidental comb.) γm = 1.2
Partial safety factor for Steel (accidental comb.) γs = 1

Axial Tensile Strength of Concrete = 0.259*(fck) fctm = 2.5 Mpa (Table 6.5, IRC:112-2011)
Ultimate compressive strain in the concrete εcu3 = 0.035 (Table 6.5, IRC:112-2011)
Modulus of elasticity of concrete=22*(fcm/12.5)0.3 Ecm = 31000 Mpa (Table 6.5, IRC:112-2011)
Modulus of elasticity of reinf. of steel Es = 200000 Mpa
Design yield strength of shear reinforcement fywd = 434.8 Mpa
Creep Coefficient φ = 1.0 Table 6.9
fywd = fyk/ γm (As per amendment of CL.10.3.1 IRC:112-2011)
Modulus of Elasticity of Concrete considering Long Term Creep = 15500
Modular ratio αe = (Es/Ec) αe = 12.90
Ultimate tensile strain in the steel εs = 0.0042
