ANALYSIS
CHECK DIMENSIONAL REQUIREMENTS (ACI Sec. 11.9.1 & 11.9.2)
a/d = 0.32 < 1 [OK]
Nuc / Vu = 0.11 < 1 [OK]
hc = 476.00 > 0.5 d [OK]

CHECK SECTION: (ACI Sec. 11.9.3.2)

Vu shall not be taken greater than the smaller of 0.2ɸf'cbwd and ɸ5.5bwd where ɸ = 0.85

Vu < MIN(0.2ɸf'cbwd , ɸ5.5bwd) = 2221 KN [OK]

CHECK REINFORCEMENT:

SHEAR FRICTION REINFORCEMENT:

�𝑣�=(��/�)/��� = 675.923 mm2

where: µ = ### (ACI Sec. 11.7.4.3)

TENSION REINFORCEMENT:

��=��𝑐/𝜙�� = 102.302 mm2

FLEXULAR REINFORCEMENT:

��=��/(𝜙��(0.85𝑑)) = 278.189 mm2

where:

��=��(𝑎)+��𝑐(ℎ−𝑑) = ### KN.mm

PRIMARY TENSION REINFORCEMENT

Case 1
2/3Avf + An Ah = 1/3Avf
= 552.9 mm2 = 225 mm2

Case 2
Af + An = 380.5 mm2
��=��𝑋(Af + An , 2/3 Avf + An , (0.04�′𝑐)/�� ��𝑑) = 1239 mm2 < A s , provd  1885 mm2 [OK]

�ℎ= (��−��)/2
= 568 mm2 < A h , provd  905 [OK]
