4. Design of Drain

a) Design of Vertical wall

Design for flexure due to (EP+DL) combination :
Max. Moment at the face of bott. Slab = 120.4 kN-m
Required Effective Depth = 350 mm
Overall depth proposed = 400 mm
Clear Cover = 50 mm
Effective cover = 60 mm
Hence Effective depth = 340 mm < required
Effective depth provided = 390 mm
Hence overall depth = 450 mm

Tension reinforcement on outer/ earth face

Area of Steel required = 1407.36 mm2
min. area of steel=0.12% of bD = 540.00 mm2
Main Bar dia provided = 20 mm
Spacing required = 223.10 mm
Spacing upto half the ht. from base = 150.00 mm
Spacing for remaining ht. = 300.00 mm
Actual Area of Steel provided = 2093.33 mm2
Curtailed area of steel = 1570 mm2
Provide TOR 20 @ 150 c/c for bottom half and 300 c/c for remaning half

Vertical Reinforcement: inner face

min. area of steel=0.12% of bD = 540.00 mm2
Area of steel provided = 270.00 mm2
Dia of bar considerd = 12 mm
Spacing required = 419 mm
Spacing provided = 300 mm
Actual Area of Steel provided = 377 mm2
Provide TOR 12 @ 300 c/c

Distribution reinforcement :
Moment = 0.20*DL Moment
= 24.00 kN-m
 Area of Steel required = 280.54 mm2
Min. area of Steel both face = 540.00 mm2
0.25 of provided main reinf. = 523.33 mm2
Area of steel provided on each face = 523.33 mm2
Bar dia provided = 10 mm
Spacing required = 150 mm
Spacing upto half the ht. from base = 150 mm
Spacing for remaining ht. = 300 mm
Cuttailed Area of Steel provided = 393 mm2
Provide TOR 10 @ 150 c/c for bottom half and 300 c/c for remaning half on each face

Shear Check:
S.F. at a dist. deff. from face of bott. Slab = 66 kN
Shear Stress = 0.169 Mpa
% of Steel provided = 0.54
permissible shear stress = 0.322 Mpa > Actual, hence O.K
(Refer IRC:21-2000, Table-12B) (no shear reinf. reqd.)

b) Design of base-slab
Design for flexure due to (EP+DL) combination :
Max. Moment at wall face = 136 kN-m
Effective Depth required = 372 mm
Overall depth proposed = 400 mm
Clear Cover = 50 mm
Effective cover = 60 mm
Hence Effective depth = 340 mm < required.
Effective depth provided = 390 mm
Hence Overall depth 450 mm

Tension reinforcement at bottom face

Area of Steel required = 1589.71 mm2
min. area of stell=0.12% of bD = 540.00 mm2
Main Bar dia provided = 20 mm

min. area of steel=0.12% of bD = 540.00 mm2
Area of steel provided = 270.00 mm2
Dia of bar considerd = 12 mm
Spacing required = 419 mm
Spacing provided = 300 mm
Actual Area of Steel provided = 376.8 mm2
Provide TOR 12 @ 300 c/c

Distribution reinforcement :
Moment = 0.20*DL Moment
= 27.00 kN-m
Area of Steel required = 315.60 mm2
Min. area of Steel both face = 540.00 mm2
0.25 of provided main reinf. = 413.16
Area of Steel provided = 413.16 mm2
Bar dia provided = 10 mm
Spacing required = 190.00 mm
Spacing provided = 190.00 mm
Provide TOR 10 @ 190 c/c on each face

Shear Check:
S.F. at a dist. deff. from face of bott. Slab = 37 kN
Shear Stress = 0.095 Mpa
% of Steel provided = 0.42
permissible shear stress = 0.286 Mpa > Actual, hence O.K
(Refer IRC:21-2000, Table-12B) (no shear reinf. reqd.)
