UNITS: SI SI

MATERIALS USE:
E = 200000 MPa
f'c = 20.7 MPa
fy = 275 MPa

WALLS:
Height of the wall, H = 4 m
Minimum thickness = 200 mm (Optional) k = 0.8 - Restrained against rotation @ one or both ends.
Effective length factor, k = 0.8 Click here k =10.8
k =- Restrained
1.0 - Notagainst

@ one or @ either end.
both ends.
Others, k = 0.1 (Optional) k = 2.0 - Not braced against lateral translation.

BEAMS ON TOP:
Spacing = 1 m Beams
Bearing Width = 1000 mm

LOAD DATA: wall


Dead Load, DL = 100 kN
Live Load, LL = 90 kN
Ultimate Load, UL = kN (Optional)
Footing
REINFORCEMENT DATA:
Layer = Single Click here Sing 1
Vertical bar diameter = 16 mm Double
Horizontal bar diameter = 12 mm
Concrete cover = 75 mm
Allow. Scl = 25 mm
Minimum wall thickness:
(a) h = 1/25 H
= 1/25 (4)
= 0.16 m
= 160 mm say 160
(b) h = 200 mm

Therefore try: h = 200 mm

Actual bearing strength of concrete:


Pu = 1.4DL + 1.7LL
= 293 kN
= 293000 N

Allowable bearing strength of concrete:


Ø(0.85f`cA1) = (0.7)(0.85)(20.7)(1000x200)
= 2463300 N > 293000 N OK!

Horizontal length of the wall:


(a) Center-to-center spacing of beam = 1m = 1000 mm ###
(b) Width of the bearing wall + 4h = 1000 + 4(200) = 1800 mm ###
Therefore use: W = 1000 mm

Design strength of wall:


k = 0.1
lc = H = 4 m = 4000 mm ###

ØPnw = 0.55Øf`cAg [1-( 32h )2]
0.1(4000)
= 0.55(0.70)(20.7)(1000x200) [1-( )2]
= 0.55(0.70)(20.7)(1000x200) [1-( 32(200) ) ]
= 1587673.828 N > 293000 N OK!, Use the minimum reinforcements...

Design of reinforcements:
Smax = 3h = 3(200) or 450 mm ###
Use: Smax = 450 mm ###
W = 1000 mm
Ag = Wh = 1000(200)
= 200000 mm²
Ab = π/4db²
Vertical Ab = 201.06193 mm²
Horizontal Ab = 113.09734 mm²

Use: As = 0.0015Ag
= 300 mm² 0.0015
1000
201.062) = 300
S
Ver. S = 670.206 mm 670
Use: Ver. S = 450 mm Single Layer
Scl = 434 mm OK!

Horizontal As = 0.0025Ag
= 500 mm² 0.0025
1000
(113.097) = 500
S
Hor. S = 226.1946711 mm 220
Use: Hor. S = 220 mm Single Layer
Scl = 204.000 mm OK!
