Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Demand
 Demand on a structure refers to all external actions.

 Gravity, wind, earthquake, snow are external actions.

 These actions when act on the structure will induce internal

disturbance(s) in the structure in the form of stresses (such
as compression, tension, bending, shear, and torsion).

The internal stresses are also called load effects.

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Capacity

 The overall ability of a structure to carry an imposed

demand.

Applied Load
Beam will resist the (Demand)

applied load up to its

capacity and will fail
when demand exceeds
capacity

Prof. Dr. Qaisar Ali Reinforced Concrete Design – II 9

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Failure

 Occurs when Capacity is less than Demand.

 To avoid failure, capacity to demand ratio should be kept

greater than one, or at least equal to one.

 It is, however, intuitive to have some margin of safety i.e., to

have capacity to demand ratio more than one. How much?

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Example 1.1

 Solution: Based on convenience either the loads or the load

effects as demand are compared to the load carrying
capacity of the structure in the relevant units.

Demand in the form of load: 50 Tons

Capacity of the pad in the form
Load = 50 Tons
of resistance should be able to
carry a stress of 765.27 psi.
Demand in the form of Load effects:
In other words, the compressive
The effect of load on the pad will be
strength of concrete pad
a compressive stress equal to load
divided by the area of the pad. 12″ (capacity) should be more than
765.27 psi (demand).
Load Effect=(50 × 2204)/ (12 × 12)
= 765.27 psi

 Determine capacity to demand ratio for the pad of example

1.1 for the following capacities given in the form of
compressive strength of concrete (i) 500 psi (ii) 765.27 psi

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Example 1.2
 Solution: As calculated in example 1.1, demand = 765.27 psi.
Therefore capacity to demand ratios are as under:
i. Capacity/ Demand = 500 / 765.27 = 0.653 (Failure)

ii. 765.27/ 765.27 = 1.0 (Capacity just equal to Demand)

iii. 1000/ 765.27 = 1.3 (Capacity is 1.3 times greater than Demand)

iv. 2000/ 765.27 = 2.6 (Capacity is 2.6 times greater than Demand)

 In (iii) and (iv), there is some margin of safety normally called as

factor of safety.

Prof. Dr. Qaisar Ali Reinforced Concrete Design – II 15

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Safety Factor
 It is always better to have a factor of safety in our designs.

 It can be achieved easily if we fix the ratio of capacity to

demand greater than 1.0, say 1.5, 2.0 or so, as shown in
example 1.2.

Prof. Dr. Qaisar Ali Reinforced Concrete Design – II 16

 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Safety Factor
 For certain reasons, however, let say we insist on a factor of
safety such that capacity to demand ratio still remains 1.0.
Then there are three ways of doing this:
 Take an increased demand instead of actual demand (load),
e.g. 70 ton instead of 50 ton in the previous example,

 Take a reduced capacity instead of actual capacity such as

1500 psi for concrete whose actual strength is 3000 psi

 Doing both.

 How are these three situations achieved?

Prof. Dr. Qaisar Ali Reinforced Concrete Design – II 17

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Working Stress Method
 In the Working Stress or Allowable Stress Design method,
the material strength is knowingly taken less than the actual
e.g. half of the actual to provide a factor of safety equal to
2.0.

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Strength Design Method
 In the Strength Design method, the increased loads and the
reduced strength of the material are considered, but both based on
scientific rationale. For example, it is quite possible that during the
life span of a structure, dead and live loads increase.

 The factors of 1.2 and 1.6 used by ACI 318-14 (Building code
requirements for structural concrete, American Concrete Institute
committee 318) as load amplification factors for dead load and live
load respectively are based on probability based research studies.

 Note: We shall be following ACI 318-14 throughout this course

Prof. Dr. Qaisar Ali Reinforced Concrete Design – II 19

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Strength Design Method
 Similarly, the strength is not reduced arbitrarily but
considering the fact that variation in strength is possible due
to imperfections, age factor etc. Strength reduction factors
are used for this purpose.

 Factor of safety in Strength Design method is thus the

combined effect of increased load and reduced strength,
both modified based on a valid rationale.

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 About Ton
 1 metric ton = 1000 kg or 2204 pound

 1 long ton: In the U.S., a long ton = 2240 pound

 1 short ton: In the U.S., a short ton = 2000 pound

 In Pakistan, the use of metric ton is very common; therefore

we will refer to Metric Ton in our discussion.

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Example 1.3
 Design the 12″ × 12″ pad to carry a load of 200 tons. The
area of the pad cannot be increased for some reasons.
 Concrete strength (fc′) = 3 ksi, therefore

 Allowable strength = fc′/2 = 1.5 ksi (for Working Stress method)

 Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Example 1.3
 Solution:
 Demand in the form of load (P) = 200 Tons = 200 × 2204/1000 = 440.8 kips

 Demand in the form of load effects (Stress) = (200 × 2204)/ (12 × 12)

= 3061.11 psi = 3.0611 ksi

 Capacity in the form of strength = 1.5 ksi (less than the demand of 3.0611 ksi).

 There are two possibilities to solve this problem:

 Increase area of the pad (geometry); it cannot be done as required in the example.

 Increase the strength by using some other material; using high strength concrete,
steel or other material; economical is to use concrete and steel combine.

Prof. Dr. Qaisar Ali Reinforced Concrete Design – II 23

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Example 1.3
 Solution:
 Let us assume that we want to use steel bar reinforcement of yield strength fy =
40 ksi. Then capacity to be provided combinedly by both materials should be at
least equal to the demand. And let us follow the Working Stress approach, then:

 {P = Rc + Rs (Demand=Capacity)} (Force units)

 Capacity of pad = Acfc′/2 + Asfy/2 (Force units)

 Therefore,

440.8 = (144 × 3/2) + (As × 40/2)

 As = 11.24 in2 (Think on how to provide this much area of steel? This is how
compression members are designed against axial loading).

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Example 1.4
 Solution:
 M = wl2/8 = {2.0 × (20)2/8} × 12 = 1200 in-kips

 Self-weight of beam (w/ft) = (12 × 20 × 0.145/144) = 0.24167 k/ft

 Msw (moment due to self-weight of beam) = (0.24167×202×12/8) = 145

in-kips

 M (total) = 1200 + 145 = 1345 in-kips

 In the linear elastic range, flexural stress in concrete beam can be

calculated as:

 ƒ = My/I (linear elastic range)

 Therefore, M = ƒI/y

Concept of Capacity and Demand

 Example 1.4
 Solution:
 y = (20/2) = 10″ ; I = 12 × 203/12 = 8000 in4

 ƒ =?

 The lower fibers of the given beam will be subjected to tensile

stresses. The tensile strength of concrete (Modulus of rupture) is
given by ACI code as 7.5 f′ , (ACI 24.5.2.1).
 

Therefore, ƒtension = 7.5 f′ = 7.5 × 3000 = 411 psi

   


 Hence M = Capacity of concrete in bending = 411 × 8000/ (10 × 1000)

= 328.8 in-kips

 Therefore, Demand = 1345 in-kips and Capacity = 328.8 in-kips

permitted by ACI 9.7.6.2.2 and 9.6.3 is minimum of:
 smax = Avfy/(50bw) =0.22 × 40000/(50 × 14) = 12.57″
 smax = d/2 = 17.5/2 = 8.75″
 smax = 24″
 Avfy/ 0.75√(fc′)bw = 0.22×40000/ {(0.75×√(3000)×14} =15.30″
 Therefore smax = 8.75″

Example 1.6

 Flexural and Shear Design of Beam as per ACI:

 Solution:
 Step No. 04: Design.
 Design for Shear:

 Other checks:

 Check for depth of beam:

ΦVs ≤ Φ8 f′ bwd (ACI 11.4.7.9)

 

Φ8 f′ bwd = 0.75 × 8 × 3000 × 14 × 17.5/1000 = 80.52 k

   

ΦVs = Vu – ΦVc = 33.74 – 20.13 =13.61 k < 80.52 k, O.K.

 Therefore depth is O.K. If not, increase depth of beam.

Example 1.6

 Flexural and Shear Design of Beam as per ACI:

 Solution:
 Step No. 04: Design.
 Design for Shear:

 Other checks:

Check if “ΦVs ≤ Φ4 f′ bwd” (ACI 10.7.6.5.2):

 


If “ΦVs ≤ Φ4 f′ bwd”, the maximum spacing (smax) is O.K. Otherwise

 


reduce spacing by one half.

 13.61 kips < 40.26 kips O.K.

x1 = (10.06)(10)/(39.50) ≈ 2.5 ft
x2 = (20.13)(10)/(39.50) ≈ 5.0 ft

Note:
As Sd ≈ Smax we will provide sd up to 7.5 ft from
the face of support. Beyond this point, theoretically
no reinforcement is required, however, we will
provide #3 2-legged stirrups @ 12 in c/c.
