CORBEL EXTENSION

Width of corbel, b 1000 mm

Total thickness of corbel, h 955 mm
Depth to main reinforcement, d 858 mm

Material Properties
Yield strength of reinforcement, fy 420 N/mm

Compressive strength of concrete, fc’

(cylinder) (80%strength) 36 N/mm2
Normal weight concrete, λ 1
Coefficient friction, μ 1.4λ ACI 318 11.6.4.3

Design Load Data
Ultimate vertical load, Vu 178.5 Kn
wheel length is 250mm
so the load is taken
Distance from face to column, av 420 mm
as acting at the centre
125mm (545-125=420)
Ultimate Horizontal force, Nu 35.7 kn
Strength reduction factor, ϕ 0.75 ACI 318 R 11.8.3.1

Design Procedure

Check section
If 0.2 x fc’x b x d > VU 6177.6 kn ACI 318 11.8.3.2.1
Section is OK
