Introduction to concrete technology

1.1 concrete components

The concrete components are:
a) Aggregate: it forms more than 75% of the concrete components.
b) Water: the water must be drinkable.
c) Cement: there are different types of cement use in concrete depend on the
condition that needs to use for:
1- Type 1 cements (ordinary Portland cement): used for ordinary condition.
2- Type 2 cements: used for moderate sulfate resistance
3- Type 3 cements: used for early gained strength or accelerate strength.
4- Type 4 cements: used for high sulfate resistance.
5- Type 5 cements: used as retarded cement for the bulk concrete.
d) Additives: many additives are use for increase the workability of the concrete.
There is more than one type of additives according to its work:
1-Plastisizer: used for improve the workability of the concrete.
2-Accelerated additives: Cacl2 is used as accelerated additive
3-Retarded additives: add to concrete to increase its workability and increase its
strength.

Practical remarks:
The additives should be added as percentage of cement not more than 2% usually use
additives between (1 - 2) %.
In addition, note that more percentage of additives will be decrease the strength of the
concrete.

1.2 hardened concrete

The hardened concrete has several properties should be known
1- Compressive strength
Strength of hardened concrete means the compressive strength (f 'c) can be measured
at 28 days by standard test using the standard cube (150 x150 x 150) mm or standard
cylinder (150 x 300) mm of concrete, it seems that the strength of cylinder ≈ 80% of
the strength of the cube. Moreover, there is anther test to find the compressive of
concrete like hammer test and core test.
From the practice, it appears that the:
f 'c at 7 days ≈ 0.75 of the f 'c at 28 days.
f 'c accelerated ≈ (0.2 – 0.25) of the f 'c at 28 days.
2-Tensile strength of concrete
The tensile strength of concrete is negligible in the designing of reinforced concrete
but in some cases, we need it.
ft = (6 – 7) √ f 'c where f 'c (psi)
ft = (0.5 – 0.6) √ f 'c where f 'c (MPa)

3-Modulus of elasticity of concrete

Three type of modulus are found from the stress strain diagram of concrete:
a) Initial tangent modulus E1 = tanө1
b) Tangent to stress strain curve at σ = 0.5 σ' where (σ ' is maximum stress)
E2 = tanө2
c) Secant modulus E3 = tanө3 where the ө3 is the angle of secant to point on
the stress strain curve at σ = 0.5 σ'
In general, the modulus of elasticity of concrete (Ec) is calculated from the following
empirical formulas:
Ec = 33x w 1.5√ f 'c where: f 'c (in Psi) and w concrete density (150 Psi)
Ec=0.043xw 1.5√ f 'c where: f 'c (in MPa) and w concrete density (2400 kg/m3)
Ec = 57000√ f 'c where f 'c (Psi)
Ec = 4700√ f 'c where f 'c (MPa)

4- Modulus of rapture
Gives the maximum moment that the concrete can resist without fracture and it is
measured from the empirical formula fr =7.5√ f 'c where f 'c (Psi)

5-Creep of concrete
For creep Ct = (t0.6 x Cu) ÷ (10 + t0.6)
Where Ct is the creep stress and Cu = 2.35 and t (days)

6-shrinkage of concrete
For shrinkage Єsh = (t x Єshu) ÷ (35 x t)
Where Єsh is the shrinkage strain and Єshu = 425 x 10-6 and t (days)
1.3 Reinforced steel
The reinforced steel is found in several types according to the percentage of carbon as:
1-mild steel (Fyeild ≈ (240 – 280) MPa)
2-medium steel (Fyeild ≈ (280 – 350) MPa)
3-high strength steel (Fyeild ≈ (350 – 600) MPa)
As the percentage of carbon is increase, the strength will increase.
Identification of reinforced steel
Jordan (12Ø20) means 12 bar 20mm diameter
ACI (12#6) means 12 bar (6/8) in diameter
British 12R20 or 12T20 where (R regular steel) and (T high strength steel)

Practical remarks:
1-The reinforced steel must be free of the dust, rust, or oil because the oil is
organic material and it will kill the strength of reinforced concrete.
2-We do not use the high strength steel in the steel of the stirrups because it is soft
and cannot resist the bent so the first type of steel is the best type for stirrups.
 Chapter 2
Introduction to Reinforced concrete design methods

2.1 Working stress design method (W.S.D)

This method is based on Load ≤ Resistance also based on the decreasing of the
strength of the concrete but the loads still as it is.
The compressive strength of the concrete and the Fyeild of the steel are taken as:
fca = 0.45 f 'c (fca <3000 Psi or f 'ca <30 MPa)
fsa = 0.5 Fyeild (fsa <24000 Psi or fsa <170 MPa)
This method has drags points:
1-It does not consider the uncertainty in the live loads.
2-It decreases the strength by using the allowable stresses regardless of loads
property.
3-limitation of stresses i.e. fsa < 170 MPa

2.2 Ultimate strength design method (U.S.D)

This method is based on the increasing of the loads but the strength still as it is
The method condition is that the moment comes from the load must be less than or
equal to the moment from the resistance of the concrete
ML ≤ MR

Type of loads:
Dead load, live load, horizontal pressure, wind load and earthquake.

Reduction factor
1-for moment Ø = 0.9
2-for shear Ø = 0.85
3-for axial load Ø = 0.7 or Ø = 0.75
4-for plane concrete Ø = 0.65
We notice that the reduction factor for the shear is lesser than that for the moment
because the shear works suddenly on the concrete and make the failure quickly.
 Chapter 3
Analysis and design of rectangular concrete section
Based on U.S.D method

3.1 Rectangular section with singly reinforcement

Singly reinforced section means that the section is subject to bending moment only.
Many necessary terms must be known before the start of design:
1-The effective depth (d) is the difference between the over all depth and the distance
from the concrete cover to the center of gravity of the reinforced steel as in figure 1
2-The main steel is the necessary steel to resist the tension according to the bending
moment as shown in figure 1.
3-The concrete cover as in figure 1 is necessary to protect the main steel and it is
taken according to codes depends on:
a) Environment conditions.
b) Size of main reinforced steel bars
c) Type of structure.
4-The stress strain curve of the concrete and steel should be known and studied as
shown in figure 2.
5-The strain of section is approximately linear across the section as in figure 3

Figure 1 Figure 2

Figure 3
Practical remarks:
1-As main reinforced bar size increase the concrete cover should increase because the
concrete interact to the steel and makes failure on the section.
2-The concrete resist the compression and the steel resist the tension.
3-The effective depth d is the distance use in the design of the section not the all over
depth h.
4-From the practical we can use concrete cover depend on the type of structure as
follows:
a) Beam subject to moderate conditions, take cover 40 mm or 1.5 in.
b) Foundation exposed to earth permanently, take cover 75 mm or 3 in.
c) Slab exposed to earth permanently, take cover 20 mm or 0.75 in.

3.2 Analysis of singly reinforced concrete sections

For the analysis of the concrete section, we will use two methods for that
1- Parabolic stress curve method:
As it is shown in the figure 4 the stress on the concrete is represented as parabolic has
average value equal to k1k3f'c where k1 and k3 are constants.
The compression on the concrete C is compute as the area under the stress curve.

C = k1 k3 f'c x b

The tension on the steel T is compute as the steel yielded

T = As Fy

Because the compression equal to the tension in the section so

C=T

k1 k3 f'c x b = As Fy

X = [As Fy] ÷ [k1 k3 f'c b]

Figure 4
The nominal moment on the section is Mn = T or C x the arm between the C and T

Mn = T x (d – k2x)

Mn = As Fy x [d – (k2 As Fy ÷ (k1 k3 f'c b))]

From the experimental work it was found that the constant value of k2 ÷ (k1 k3) =0.59

So the nominal moment will be Mn = As Fy x [d – (0.59As Fy ÷ (f'c b))]

Example 3.1
a) Compute the maximum moment capacity that section can carry? if the section has
the following properties h =20 in., b =12 in., f'c =3000 Psi, Fy =28000 Psi,
As =2.37 in2.

Solution
d = 20 – 1.5-(3/8)-(1/2)=17.6in.

Mn = As Fy x [d – (0.59As Fy ÷ (f'c b))]

Mn = 2.37x28000x[17.6-(0.59x2.37x28000) ÷ (12x3000)]

= 1095765.1 Ib.in

= 1095765.1 ÷ 12000

= 91.31kip.ft
b) Assume we need to keep the geometry of the section as it is and to increase the
moment to 100-kip.ft compute area of steel need for that.

Solution
As(new) = As(old)x[Mnew / Mold]

= 2.37x[100/91.3]
= 2.6 in2
2-whitney stress block method
This is the method that we will use it in the analysis and the design of the singly
reinforced sections so we will start to explain it.
As shown in figure 5 the stress in concrete is represented as rectangular block
has average value of 0.85 f'c.

The compression on the concrete is compute as the area under the stress strain
curve where C = 0.85f'c a b

The tension on the steel is computed as steel yielded

T = As Fy

Because the compression equal to the tension in the section so

C=T

0.85f'c a b = As Fy

a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b)

The nominal moment on the section is Mn = T or C x the arm between the C and T

Mn = T x (d – (a/2))

Mn = As Fy x [d – (As Fy ÷ (2x0.85 f'c b))]

a=βx
Where
β = 0.85 for f'c ≤ 4000 Psi
β is reduced by 0.05 for extra 1000 Psi
β > 0.65

Figure 5
Example 3.2(repeated)
a) Compute the maximum moment capacity that the section can carry? if the section
has the following properties h =20 in., b =12 in., f'c =3000 Psi, Fy =280000 Psi,
As =2.37 in2.

Solution
d = 20 – 1.5-(3/8)-(1/2)=17.6in.

a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b)

= (2.37x28000) ÷ (0.85x3000x12)
= 66360 ÷ 30600

= 2.2 in.

Mn = As Fy x [d – (a/2)]

Mn = 2.37x28000x[17.6-(2.2 ÷2)]

= 1095765.1 Ib.in

= 1095765.1 ÷ 12000

= 91.31kip.ft
b) Assume we need to keep the geometry of the section as it is and to increase the
moment to 100-kip.ft compute area of steel need for that.

Solution
As(new) = As(old)x[Mnew / Mold]

= 2.37x[100/91.3]
= 2.6 in2
3.3 Limits of reinforcement ratio
1- Balanced condition (ρb)
Ideal condition as when the stress in the steel reaches Fy and stress in concrete
reaches max strength at the same time which called balance condition

From figure 6 we get:

εc÷ (εc + εy) = xb ÷ d

xb = (dxεc) ÷ (εc + εy)

Since C = T

0.85f'c a b = As Fy
Figure 6
As Fy = 0.85f'c b β xb

As Fy = 0.85f'c b β [(dxεc) ÷ (εc + εy)]

εy = fy / Es = fy /29000000

εc = 0.003

As Fy = 0.85f'c b d β [87000 ÷ (87000 + Fy)]

Divide the two side of equation above by Fy bd, we will get:

(As / bd) = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [87000 ÷ (87000 + Fy)]

ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [87000 ÷ (87000 + Fy)] Where f'c and Fy are in Psi

ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [600 ÷ (600 + Fy)] Where f'c and Fy are in MPa
2- Maximum reinforcement ratio (ρmax)
To make sure that the actual reinforcement ratio (ρact) ≤ ρb then the codes limit
the reinforcement ratio by maximum ratio of reinforcement (ρmax) = 0.75 ρb.
If the ρact > ρmax it leads to sudden failure and the section is called over reinforced
section.
3- Minimum reinforcement ratio (ρmin)
To make sure that the cracks will not appear on the building you must take the
reinforcement ratio not less than the minimum value that is:

a) ρmin = 200/ Fy where Fy in Psi for rectangular section.

ρmin = 1.4/ Fy where Fy in MPa for rectangular section.

b) ρmin = [3√ f'c / Fy] ≥200/ Fy where f'c and Fy in Psi or

ρmin = [(3/12) √ f'c / Fy] ≥ 1.4/ Fy where f'c and Fy in MPa

for T-section with flange in compression.

c) ρmin = [6√ f'c / Fy] ≥200/ Fy where f'c and Fy in Psi or

ρmin = [(6/12)√ f'c / Fy] ≥ 1.4/ Fy where f'c and Fy in MPa

for T-section with flange in tension.

Practical remarks:
In the huge foundation with irregular thickness, if we calculate the ρact and it was
less than ρmin then it is ok to use the ρact and add 30% to it i.e. ρ = ρact + 0.3x ρact

4- Actual reinforcement ratio (ρact)

To make sure that you have reasonable absorption strain energy by the reinforced
building then start your design by considering ρact = 0.5 ρmax.
Example 3.3
Rectangular section has h = 30in. and b =14in if f'c = 4000Psi and Fy = 60000Psi.
for the ultimate moment Mu = 120kip.ft check if the section can carry this
moment?

Solution

d = 30 – 1.5-(3/8)-(1/2)=27.6in.

a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b)

= (3.95x60000) ÷ (0.85x4000x14)

= 237000 ÷ 47600

= 4.98 in.

Mn = As Fy x [d – (a/2)]

Mn = 3.95x60000x[27.6-(4.98 / 2)]x[1/12000]

= 495.9kip.ft

Mu = 0.9x495.9

= 446.3>120 so it is ok.

2-Design using the exact design method
At the beginning we must derive a relationship between Mn and bd2 to simplified

a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b)

Mn = As Fy x [d – (a/2)]

= As Fy x [d – (As Fy ÷ (2x0.85 f'c b))]

Let m = Fy / (0.85 f'c)

Mn = As Fy x [d – ((Asm) ÷ (2b))]

Mn = As Fy x [d – ((As/bd) x (md/2))]

Mn = As Fy d [1 – (m ρ/2)] where ρ = As /bd Figure 7

Mn = (As/bd)x Fyx bd2 x [1 – (m ρ/2)]

Mn = ρ Fy x [1 - (m ρ/2)] x (bd2)

Mn = Rn x bd2 where Rn = ρ Fy x [1-(m ρ/2)] is the coefficient of strength in Psi or MPa

Example 3.4
Beam has simply support span length of 8m and a rectangular cross section Design a
suitable section with singly reinforcement to resist the following load Wu = 10 KN/m.
not include the section self weight? Use f'c = 25 MPa and Fy = 350 MPa.
Note a) Use quick design.
b) Use exact design.

Solution

For simply support and to control deflection use h = L /16 = 8/16 = 0.5m

d = h – 6 = 50 – 6 = 44 cm.

d / b ≈1.5 to 2 → 44 / b ≈ 1.5 → b ≈ 29.3 say b = 30 cm.

Self-weight = 0.5 x 0.3 x 24 = 3.6 KN/m.

Mself-wight = 1.4 x (3.6 x 82 / 8) = 40.32 KN.m.

Mu = (10 x 82 / 8) = 80 KN.m.

Mu(Total) = 40.32 + 80 = 120.32 KN.m.

a) Use quick design

MnL = Mu(Total) / 0.9 = 120.32 / 0.9 = 133.69 KN.m.

As = MnL÷ (Fy x0.9xd) = (133.69 x 106) ÷ (350 x 0.9 x 440) = 964.57 mm2

Choose 5 Ø16 → As = 5 x 200 = 1000 mm2

ρact = As / bd = 1000 / (300 x 440) =0.0076

a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (1000 x 350) ÷ (0.85 x 25 x 300) = 54.9 mm.

Solution of example 3.4 (cont.)

MnR = As Fy x [d – (a/2)] = 1000 x 350 x [440 – (54.9/2)]x10-6 = 144.39KN.m.

So because 144.39 > 133.69 it is Ok.

Check code limits

ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [600 ÷ (600 + Fy)] = 0.85x0.85x[25/350]x[600 ÷ (600+350)]

= 0.032

ρmax = 0.75 x ρb = 0.75 x 0.032 = 0.024

ρact < ρmax so it is Ok.

ρmin = [(6/12)√ f'c / Fy] = [(1/2) x √ 25 / 350] = 0.007

ρact > ρmin so it is Ok.

b) Use exact design

MnL = Mu / 0.9 = 120.32 / 0.9 = 133.69 KN.m.

Rn = MnL / bd2 = (133.69 x 106) / (300 x 4402) = 2.3 MPa.

m = Fy / (0.85 f'c) = 350 / (0.85 x 25) = 16.47

ρact = (1 / m) x [1 - √ [1-(2m Rn /Fy)]] = (1/16.47)x[1-√[1-(2x16.47x2.3/350)]

= 0.00696

Check code limits:

ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [600 ÷ (600 + Fy)] = 0.85x0.85x[25/350]x[600 ÷ (600+350)]

= 0.032

ρmax = 0.75 x ρb = 0.75 x 0.032 = 0.024

Solution of example 3.4 (cont.)

ρact < ρmax so it is Ok.

ρmin = [(6/12)√ f'c / Fy] = [(1/2) x √ 25 / 350] = 0.007

ρact < ρmin = 0.00696 < 0.007 so it is not Ok. So use ρmin

As = 0.007 x 300 x 440 = 924 mm2.

Choose 5Ø16 As = 1000mm2.

a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (1000 x 350) ÷ (0.85 x 25 x 300) = 54.9 mm.

MnR = As Fy x [d – (a/2)] = 1000 x 350 x [440 – (54.9/2)]x10-6 = 144.39KN.m.

So because 144.39>133.69 it is Ok.

3.5 Analysis and design of double reinforced concrete sections
The doubly reinforced section is the section that has compression steel in
addition to the tension steel. usually we go to the double reinforced section when
we have heavy loads and limited section dimension especially the depth (d),so
after exhausting the maximum allowable percentage of reinforcement ratio then
we try to use compression steel also we use the doubly reinforced section in the
cases where we have already an a moment of steel in the compression zone and
we try to get use this steel for example the zone over the intermediate support in
a continuous beams structure provided that the steel in the bottom layer is
developed according to the code.
We will treat this subject in two parts 1- Analysis of doubly reinforced section.
2- Design of doubly reinforced section.

1- Analysis of doubly reinforced concrete section

Step of analysis of doubly reinforced section:
1- From figure 9 we get xb = [εc ÷ (εc + εy(T.S))] x d where εy(T.S) = fy/Es
2- Check if εs > εy where εs = [(xmax – d') ÷ xmax] x εc
If εs > εy then use f's = fy
If εs < εy then use f's = εs x Es
3- Compute the compression on the concrete Cc = 0.85 f'c*b*β*x where x = 0.75xb
4- Compute the compression on the steel Cs = A's x(f's – 0.85 f'c)
5- Compute the tension on the tension steel T = Asxfy
6- Compute the moment capacity of the section Mn = Cc(d – (a/2)) + Cs(d – d')

Figure 8 Figure 9
Example 3.5(example 3.10.1 textbook)
Determine the nominal moment strength Mn of rectangular section shown in figure,
given f'c = 5000 psi, Fy = 60000, b = 14 in., d = 26 in. d' = 3 in., As = 8 # 10 and
A's = 2 # 8 bars.
Solution
xb = [εc ÷ (εc + εy(T.S))] x d = [3 ÷ (3 + (60/29))] x 26 = 15.39 in.

xmax = 0.75 x 15.39 = 11.54 in. amax = 0.8 x 11.54 = 9.23 in.

εs = [(xmax – d') ÷ xmax] x εc = [(11.54 – 3) ÷ 11.54] x 0.003 = 0.0022 > εy so f's = fy

Cc = 0.85 f'c*b*β*xmax = 0.85 x 5000 x 14 x 0.8 x 11.54 x 10-3 = 549.3 kips.

Cs = A's x(f's – 0.85 f'c) = 1.58 x (60 – 0.85 x 5) = 88 Kips.

Mn = Cc(d – (amax/2)) + Cs(d – d')

= [549.3x(26 – (9.23/2)) + 88x(26 – 3)]x(1/12)

= 1147.85 ft-kips.

*practical remarks
1- The maximum reinforcement ratio for doubly reinforced section is taken as
ρmax = 0.75 ρ + [ρ' x (fs ÷ fy)] where ρ' = A's / (bwd)
2- we shouldn’t use compression steel until the maximum reinforcement ratio of
tension steel is used in the case of using the compression steel for strength, not for
unaccepted negative moment.
2- Design of doubly reinforced concrete section
Step of design of doubly reinforced concrete section:
1- The given information will be D.L, L.L, span length, f'c and Fy
2- Find h from table 3.1

9- Find xb = [εc ÷ (εc + εy(T.S))] x d where εy(T.S) = fy/Es, xmax= 0.75xb and amax = β*xmax

15- choose bar size from the table.
16- Check the moment capacity of the section Mn = Cc(d – (amax/2)) + Cs(d – d')
Example 3.6(example 3.11.2 textbook)
Determine the As and A's required to carry a service live load moment of 390ft-kips
and service dead load moment of 200ft-kips,using b = 14 in., d = 26 in., d' = 3 in.
f'c = 5000 psi, Fy = 60000 psi, and the ACI code?

Solution
Mu = 1.4 x 200 + 1.7 x 390 = 943ft-kips.

MnL = Mu / 0.9 = 943 / 0.9 = 1048 ft-kips.

ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [87000 ÷ (87000 + Fy)]

= 0.85 x 0.8 [5000/ 60000] [87000 ÷ (87000 + 60000)]
= 0.0335

xb = [εc ÷ (εc + εy(T.S))] x d = [3 ÷ (3 + (60/29))] x 26 = 15.39 in.

xmax= 0.75xb = 0.75 x 15.39 = 11.54 in.

amax = β *xmax = 0.8 x 11.54 = 9.23 in.

Use ρ = ρmax = 0.75 ρb = 0.75 x 0.0335 = 0.0251

As = ρxbd = 0.0251 x 14 x 26 = 9.15 in2.(note this is the max. As for singly reinforced)

Compute the moment capacity of section without compression steel

MnR= As x Fy x [d – (amax/2)] = 9.15 x 60000 x [26 – (9.23/2)] x(1/12000) = 978ft-kip.

MnR<MnL → 978 < 1048 so we need compression steel for strength

M'nR = MnL - MnR = 1048 – 978 = 70 ft-kip.

Check if the compression steel was yielded or not.

εs = [(xmax – d') ÷ xmax] x εc = [(11.54 – 3) ÷ 11.54] x 0.003 = 0.0022 > εy so f's = fy

A's = M'nR ÷ [f'sx(d – d')] = 70 ÷ [60000 x(26 – 3)] x 12000 = 0.61 in2
3.6 Applications on the singly reinforced concrete section
An application on design of singly reinforced section is the design of the one-
way solid slab and it is the best application on the design of the singly reinforced
section. We consider the slab as one-way solid slab with width (b) equal to l unit
length if the ratio of the long span to the short span > 2 if it is not greater than
two it is considered as two-way solid slab.

3.7 Analysis and design of the one-way solid slab

The analysis and design of the one-way solid slab is the same as the rectangular
section with singly reinforced that explained in section 3.4 but we will use the
section width (b) is equal to 1uint length.

Example 3.7
Consider the figure below check if the slab (S1) is one-way solid slab and design it to
resist live load L.L = 4 KN/m as one end continue slab given f'c = 25 MPa,
Fy = 350 MPa.

Solution
According to code and to control deflection

The minimum h = span /24 = 3000 / 24 = 125 mm

Use h = 130 mm

d = h – 3cm = 130 – 30 = 100 mm

Self-weight = 0.130 x 1 x 24 = 3.12 KN/m.

Mself-wight = 1.4 x (3.12 x 32 / 8) = 4.91 KN.m.

Mu =1.7 x (4 x 32 / 8) =7.65 KN.m.

Mu(Total) = 4.91 + 7.65 = 12.6 KN.m.

Solution of example 3.7 (cont.)

Use quick design

MnL = Mu(Total) / 0.9 = 12.6 / 0.9 = 13.96 KN.m.

As = MnL÷ (Fy x0.9xd) = (13.96 x 106) ÷ (350 x 0.9 x 100) = 443.17 mm2

Choose Ø12 → No. of bars = 443.17 / 100 = 4.432

Spacing = 1000 / 4.432 = 225.6 say Ø12@ 225 mm.

ρact = As / bd = 443.17 / (1000x 100) = 0.0044

a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (443.17 x 350) ÷ (0.85 x 25 x 1000) = 7.3 mm.

MnR = As Fy x [d – (a/2)] = 443.17 x 350 x [100 – (23.74/2)]x10-6 = 14.94 KN.m.

So because 14.94 > 13.96 it is ok.

Check code limits

ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [600 ÷ (600 + Fy)] = 0.85x0.85x[25/350]x[600 ÷ (600+350)]

= 0.032

ρmax = 0.75 x ρb = 0.75 x 0.032 = 0.024

ρact < ρmax so it is Ok.

ρmin = [(6/12) √ f'c / Fy] = [(1/2) x √ 25 / 350] = 0.007

ρact < ρmin so it is not Ok. Use ρ = ρmin → As = 0.007 x 1000 x 100 = 700 mm2
Choose Ø12 → No. of bars = 700 / 100 = 7

Spacing = 1000 / 7 = 142.86 say Ø12@140 mm.

 Chapter 4
Analysis and design of T-section
Based on U.S.D method
4.1 The effective width of slab
In this section, we will determine the effective depth (bf) of slab that will work as
one part with the web or stem of the beam, which is determined as followed:
1- For interior beams: the bf is the smallest of the: a) bf = span / 4
b) bf = bw + 16 t
c) Center to center spacing
between beams.
2- For exterior beams: the bf is the smallest of the: a) bf = bw + (span / 12)
b) bf = bw + 6 t
c) bf = bw + 0.5xclear distance
to the next beam.
3- For isolated beams bf ≤ 4 bw where t ≥ 0.5 bw

4.2 Analysis and design of T-section

1- Analysis of T-section
Steps of analysis of T-section:
1- Determine the effective depth bf from section 4.1
2- Find the over all depth of the T-section from table 3.1 and find d
3- Assume that the a is one the flange and find it from the equilibrium equation
C=T
a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c bf)
In this stage we will have to cases
a) If a ≤ tf so the assumption is true and the section will be treated as rectangular
section with b = bf and has the analysis that was explained in section 3.2
b) If a < tf so the assumption wasn’t true and the section will be treated as T-section
in addition, the section will be divided into two parts the first part is the over
hanging part and the second part is the web part.
4- Compute the necessary reinforcement for the over hanging part as follow:
0.85 x f'c x (bf – bw) x tf = As1 x Fy
As1 = [0.85 x f'c x (bf – bw) x tf] ÷ Fy
As2 = As – As1
5- Compute the actual a from the equation a = (As2 x Fy) ÷ (0.85 x f'c x bw)
6- Compute the maximum nominal moment that the section can carry use the
following equation Mn = As1 x Fy x (d-(tf/2)) + As2 x Fy x (d - (a/2))
4.3Quick deign of T-section
Steps of design of T-section:
1- Determine the effective depth bf from section 4.1
2- Find the over all depth h of the T-section from table 3.1 and compute d.
3- Find Wu where Wu = 1.4 D.L + 1.7 L.L in addition to the section self weight
4- Find Mu from table 3.2
5- Fine MnL = Mu / 0.9
6- Compute the necessary reinforcement steel As = Mn ÷ (Fy x 0.95 x d) and
choose bar size and compute the exact As
7- Make analysis for the T-section as explained in the previous section.
8- Check for max. and min reinforcement ratio.

*Practical remarks
1- The maximum reinforcement ratio for T-section is taken as
ρmax = 0.75 x (ρb + ρf) where ρf = Asf ÷ (bwd) and ρb = Asb ÷ (bwd)
4.4 Applications on design of T-section (design of one-way ribbed slab)
As application on the design of T-section, the design of the one-way hollow
ribbed slab is the same as that of T-section but there are some construction
considerations that must be taken in mind:
1- The thickness of the slab over the hollow block must be ts ≥ 2 in ≥ 50 mm
2- The width of the web or stem must be bw ≥ 4 in ≥ 100 mm.
3- The width of the flange must be bf ≤ 30 in + bw ≤ 75 cm + bw
4- The effective depth must be d ≤ 3.5 x bw
5- Choose the over all depth h such that to control deflection according to code.
6- The load for one rib is taken as:
Wfor one rib = [(block width + bw) ÷ unit length] x Wu

Then we can start the steps of design of one-way hollow ribbed slab:
1- Determine the direction of the ribs (short direction or to the continuity as in
figure 10 but not always depends on the continuity
2- Determine the over all thickness from table 3.1 and compute d
3- Choose the web width bw
4- Choose the hollow block thickness = h – ts
5- Compute the D.L (loads / m2) and the self-weight of the section like:
Weight of block, weight of slab, weight of sand fill, weight of mortar…etc.
7- Find the L.L
8- Compute ultimate loads Wu =1.4 D.L + 1.7 L.L
9- Compute the ultimate load for one rib
Wfor one rib = [(block width + bw) ÷ unit length] x Wu
10- Compute the ultimate moment Mu from table 3.2 for example (Wfor one rib xL2 / 8)
11- Compute MnL = Mu / 0.9
12- Use quick design of T-section and fine As = MnL ÷ (Fy x 0.95 xd)
13- Choose bar size and fine actual As
14- Make analysis for the T-section as explained in the previous section.
15- Check for max. and min reinforcement ratio.
*Practical remarks
1- We must wash the block before the placing of the concrete because the block
will take the water from the concrete if we did not wash it with water.
2- We must use a cross ribs if the slab is so long nearly > 6m.
3- The importance of using the hollow block ribbed is that it is not heavy and it
is non-conductivity for heat.

Figure 10

Section x - x
Example 4.1(example 9.4.1 textbook)
Determine the nominal strength Mn within the span of floor beam whose
projection below a 4.5 in slab is 13 x 24 in. (effective depth is 25 in. for two layer
of steel). Tension reinforcement is 8#8 bars. The span length of beam is 26 ft and
the beams are centered 13 ft apart. Use f'c = 3000 psi and Fy = 50000 psi.

Solution

The bf is the smallest of the:

a) bf = span / 4 = 26 / 4 = 6.5x12 = 78 in

b) bf = bw + 16 ts = 13 + 16x4.5 = 85 in

c) Center to center spacing between beams=13x12=156in

So the bf = 78 in.

Assume a is within the flange

C = T → a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c bf) = (8x0.79x50) ÷ (0.85x3x78) = 1.6 in < ts

Then the assumption was true and the section will be treated as rectangular

section with b = bf

MnR = As Fy x [d – (a/2)] = 8x0.79x50x[25 – (1.6/2)]x(1/12) = 637.3 kip.ft.

Example 4.2(example 9.4.2 textbook)
Determine the nominal moment strength of the isolated T-section shown in figure
when As = 12.48 in2. Use f'c = 3000 psi and Fy = 50000 psi.

Solution

For isolated beams

bf ≤ 4 bw where t ≥ 0.5 bw
30 < 4x14 = 56 so ok.
ts ≥ 0.5x14 = 7 so it is ok.

Assume a is within the flange

C = T → a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c bf)
= (12.48x50) ÷ (0.85x3x30)
= 8.16 in. > ts= 7 in.
So the assumption wasn’t true and we will treat the section as T-section and
divided the section into two areas A1 and A2

Compute the necessary reinforcement for over hanging part A1

As1 = [0.85 x f'c x (bf – bw) x tf] ÷ Fy = [0.85x3x(30 – 14)x17] ÷ 50 = 5.71 in2

Compute the necessary reinforcement for web part A2

As2 = As – As1 = 12.48 – 5.71 = 6.7 in2
Compute a where a = (As2 x Fy) ÷ (0.85 x f'c x bw)
= (6.7 x 50) ÷ (0.85 x 3 x14)
= 9.3 in

Mn = As1 x Fy x (d - (tf / 2)) + As2 x Fy x (d - (a / 2))

= [5.71 x 50 x (36 - (7 / 2)) + 6.7 x 50 x (36 - (9.3 / 2)] x (1/12)
= 773.23 + 875.19
= 1648.42 kip.ft
Example 4.3
A simply supported one way hollow ribbed slab with a rib span length of 5 m
design the slab to resist it is self weight and L.L = 4 KN/m2 use f'c = 30MPa
and Fy = 420 MPa

Solution
According to code and to control deflection for simply supported one way hollow
ribbed slab compute h from table 3.1 as h = span / 18.5
= 5000 / 18.5
= 270 mm ≈ 300 mm
Use ts = 60 mm and use block thickness = 300 – 60 = 240 mm
Use bw = 150 mm >100mm
d= 300 – 40 = 260 mm

Compute D.L as Loads / m2

Self weight of hollow block slab=4 KN/m2 for slab thickness of 300 mm (from table)
Weight of sand + fill + mortar...etc ≈ 2.2 KN/m2
So D.L = 4 + 2.2 = 6.2 KN/m2
L.L = 4 KN/m2
Wu = 1.4 x6.2 + 1.7 x 4 = 15.2 KN/m2
Compute Wu for one rib
Wfor one rib = [(block width + bw) ÷ unit length] x Wu
= [(400 + 150) ÷ 1000] x 15.2
= 8.36 KN/m
For simply supported one way ribbed slab Mu = (Wfor one rib xL2) / 8
= (8.36 x 52) / 8
= 26.13 KN.m
MnL = Mu / 0.9 = 26.13 / 0.9 = 29 KN.m
As = MnL ÷ (Fy x 0.95 x d)
= [29 ÷ (420 x 0.95 x 260)]x106
= 279.55 mm2
Choose 1Ø16 and 1Ø14 As = 200 +154 =354 mm2

Tutorial No.1
Consider the following loaded beam with its cross section using f'c = 25 MPa and
Fy = 400 MPa it is required to do the following:
1- Compute the value of the L.L that the section can carry if As = 2000 mm2
2- Compute the maximum L.L that the section can carry with single reinforcements
3- Compute the compression steel A's if the L.L in part 2 will be 1.5 x L.L

Solution
Wu = 1.4 D.L + 1.7 L.L
= 1.4 x 10 + 1.7 L.L
= 14 + 1.7 L.L
Mu = Wu L2 / 8 = (14 + 1.7 L.L) x 82 / 8 = 112 + 13.6 L.L
MnL = Mu / 0.9 = 124.44 + 15.11 L.L

1- The maximum moment the section can carry if As = 2000 mm2 is Mn

Mn = As Fy (d – (a / 2)) compute a
a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (2000 x 400) ÷ (0.85 x 25 x 300) = 125.5 mm
Mn = As Fy (d – (a / 2)) = 2000 x 400 x (700 – (125.5 / 2)) x 10-6 = 509.8 KN.m
It is required that MnL ≤ Mn
124.44 + 15.11 L.L ≤ 509.8 find L.L
L.L ≤ 25.5 KN/m

2- The maximum moment that the section can carry with single reinforcement is Mn
For max. moment with single reinforcement use maximum reinforcement ratio ρmax
ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [600 ÷ (600 + Fy)] = 0.85x0.85[25/400]x[600 ÷ (600 + 400)]
= 0.0271
Solution of Tutorial No.1 (cont.)

ρmax = 0.75 x ρb = 0.75 x 0.0271 = 0.02

As(max) = 0.02 x 300 x 700 = 4276.27 mm2
amax = (As(max) Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (4276.27 x 400) ÷ (0.85 x 25 x300) = 268.3 mm
Mn = As(max) Fy (d – (amax / 2)) = 4276.27 x 400 x (700 – (268.3 / 2)) = 967.88 KN.m
It is required that MnL ≤ Mn
124.44 + 15.11 L.L ≤ 967.88 find L.L
L.L ≤ 55.82 KN/m

3- The compression steel A's

MnL = 124.44 + 15.11 L.L where L.L = 1.5 x 55.82 = 83.73 KN/m
MnL = 124.44 + 15.11 x 83.73
= 1389.6 KN.m
But the maximum moment that the section can carry MnR = 967.88 KN.m so we
need compression steel A's
M'nR = MnL - MnR = 1389.6 – 967.88 = 421.7 KN.m
A's = M'nR ÷ [f'sx(d – d')] = 421.7 ÷ [400 x (700 – 50)]x106 = 1622 mm2
Tutorial No.2
If you have a roof garden with the dimensions shown use f'c = 3000 Psi and
Fy = 60000 Psi it is required to do the following:
1- Design the slab S1 as one-way solid slab
2- Design the exterior beam.

Solution
1- Design of slab S1
Assume thickness = 4 in
d = 4 – (3/4) – (1/3) = 3 in
Weight of saturated soil = 6.33 x 1 x 0.125 = 0.79 kip / ft
Self weight of slab = (4/12) x 1 x 0.15 = 0.05 kip / ft
Wu = 1.4 x (0.79 + 0.05) = 1.2 kip / ft
Assume beam width = 14 in
Span of slab = 7.5 (clear spacing) + [14 / 12] (beam width) = 8.7 ft
Mu ≈ (Wu x L2) / 12 ≈ (1.2 x 8.72) / 12 ≈ 7.42 ft-kip
MnL = Mu / 0.9 = 7.42 / 0.9 = 8.2 ft-kip
As = MnL ÷ (Fy x 0.9 x d) = [8.2 ÷ (60000 x0.9 x 3)] x 12000 = 0.61 in2
Choose #5 → No. of bars = 0.61 / 0.31 = 1.96
Spacing = 12 / 1.96 = 6.12 in < 3 x thickness of slab = 3 x 4 = 12 in
a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (0.61 x 60) ÷ (0.85 x 3 x 12) = 1.2 in
Mn = As Fy (d – (a / 2)) = 0.61x60000x(3 – (1.2 / 2))x(1/12000) = 7.33 ft-kip < 8.2
So it not ok.
As(new) = [MnL / Mn] x As(old) = [8.2 / 7.33] x 0.61 = 0.7 in2
a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (0.7 x 60) ÷ (0.85 x 3 x 12) = 1.4 in
Solution of tutorial No.2 (cont.)

Mn = As Fy (d – (a / 2)) = 0.7x60000x(3 – (1.4 / 2))x(1/12000) = 8.1 ft-kip < 8.2ft-kip

As(new) = [MnL / Mn] x As(old) = [8.2 / 8.1] x 0.7 = 0.71 in2
a = (As Fy) ÷ (0.85f'c b) = (0.71 x 60) ÷ (0.85 x 3 x 12) = 1.4 in
Mn = As Fy (d – (a / 2)) = 0.71x60000x(3 – (1.4 / 2))x(1/12000) = 8.2 ft-kip
It is ok.
Choose #5 No. of bars = 0.71 / 0.31 = 2.29
Spacing = 12 / 2.29 = 5.24 in < 12 in so use #5@12 in

2- Design of exterior beam

Assume width of beam b = 14 in
According to code and for control deflection use
h = 0.06 x span = (0.06 x 35) x 12 = 25.2 in say 26 in
d= 26 – 1.5 – 0.5 – 1 = 23 in
Compute bf where it is the smallest:
bf = span / 12 = 35 / 12 = 2.92 x 12 = 35 in ←
bf = 14 + (90 / 2) = 59 in
Compute the load from the slab = (35 / 12) x (0.79 + 0.05) = 2.45 kip / ft
Weight of wall = 0.84 kip / ft
Weight of stem or web = 14 x [(26 – 4) ÷ 144] x 0.15 = 0.32 kip / ft
Wu = 1.4 x (2.45 + 0.84 + 0.32) = 5.05 kip / ft

a) Design the section of the beam for –ve moment where

Mu = (Wu L2) / 9 = (5.05 x 352) / 9 = 687.4 ft-kip
It is design as rectangular section scene the flange in the tension zone
MnL = Mu / 0.9 = 687.4 / 0.9 = 763.7 ft-kip
As = MnL ÷ (Fy x 0.9 x d) = [763.7 ÷ (60000 x0.9 x 23)] x 12000 = 7.4 in2
Choose 10 # 8 As = 7.9 in2
Check code limits
ρb = 0.85 β [f'c/ Fy] [87000 ÷ (87000 + Fy)]
= 0.85 x 0.85 x[3/60]x[87000 ÷ (87000 + 60000)]
= 0.021
ρmax = 0.75 x 0.021 = 0.016
ρact = 7.9 / (14 x 23) = 0.024 > ρmax
So there are compression steel As(max) = 0.016 x 14 x 23 = 5.15 in2
A's = 7.9 – 5.15 = 2.75 in2
Choose compression steel 4#8 and tension steel 10#8 and re-check the section

b) Design the section of the beam for the +ve moment where:
Mu = (Wu L2) / 11 = (5.05 x 352) / 11 = 562.4 ft-kip
It is design as T-section scene the flange in the compression zone
MnL = Mu / 0.9 = 562.4 / 0.9 = 624.9 ft-kip
As = MnL ÷ (Fy x 0.95 x d) = [624.9 ÷ (60000 x0.95 x 23)] x 12000 = 5.72 in2

Wu = 1.4 x D.L + 1.7 x L.L = 1.4 x 0.685 + 1.7 L.L = 0.959 + 1.7 L.L
Mu = [Wu x L2] ÷ 8 = [(0.595 + 1.7 x L.L) x 26.242] ÷ 8 = 409.7 + 146.31 x L.L
MnL = Mu ÷ 0.9 = [409.7 + 146.31 x L.L] ÷ 0.9 = 455.2 + 162.6 x L.L
Since MnL ≤ Mn → 455.2 + 162.6 x L.L ≤ 1399 get L.L

Toturial No.4
Compute the maximum L.L which the beam with cross section shown can carry?
Given that f'c = 4000 Psi and Fy = 60000 Psi
Solution

The beam has two sections, the section 1 – 1 is for the –ve
moment and the section 2 – 2 is for the +ve moment
so for design the section 1 – 1 for –ve moment we must
put the D.L over all the beam and the L.L over the part 8ft only
to get the maximum –ve moment
and for design the section 2 – 2 for +ve moment we must put the D.L over all the
beam and the L.L over the part of length 20ft only to get the maximum +ve moment
1- design section 1 – 1
This section is consider as rectangular

Mu = 1.7 x ML.L + 1.4 x MD.L

MnL = Mu ÷ 0.9
= [54.4 x L.L + 89.6] ÷ 0.9
= 60.4 x L.L + 99.6
Since MnL ≤ Mn

(21.1 – 7.93) x 60000 = 0.85 x 4000 x 12 x amax get amax
amax = 6.13 in > ts = 5 in
because amax > ts we will divide the section into two part

= 1289.32 kip-ft
Compute Mu = 1.7 x 50 x L.L + 1.4 x 68

MnL = Mu ÷ 0.9 = [85 x L.L + 95.2] ÷ 0.9
= 94.4 x L.L + 105.8
Since MnL ≤ Mn
94.4 x L.L + 105.8 ≤ 1289.32 get L.L
L.L ≤ 12.53 kip/ft
The design L.L that the beam can carry is the smallest of L.L = 12.53kip/ft
and L.L = 8.24 kip/ft so the design L.L is L.L = 8.24kip/ft bcause the two section
can carry this L.L.

Analysis and Design of shear reinforcement
based on U.S.D method

5.1 introductions
The concrete itself resists the shear stress as Vc by means of not more than 2√f'c bw d
And the excessive part of shear stress on the section will be resisted by one of the
following ways of reinforcement or by both of them:
1- By stirrup (vertical or with angle)
2- By bent bars
And we can use the steps of design below if √f'c ≤ 10 Psi ≤ 0.7 MPa.
And must use Vs = VnL - Vc ≤ 8 √f'c bw d

5.2 Design of shear reinforcements using vertical stirrup

Steps of design:
1- Draw the shear force diagram for the beam.
2- Divided the beam into stations the first station should be at distance d from the face
of the support and find the value of the shear force Vu at each station and find VnL
which it is equal to VnL = Vu / 0.85
3- Compute the shear force resistance of concrete Vc = 2√f'c bw d
4- Check code limits and compute the required spacing at each station where:
a) if VnL > 5 Vc then you must enlarge the section.
b) if Vc < VnL ≤ 5 Vc then spacing S = (Av Fy d) ÷ (VnL - Vc) ≤ (d/4) ≤ 24in.
c) if 0.5 Vc < VnL ≤ Vc then use minimum stirrup (maximum spacing) where
Smax = (Av Fy d) ÷ (50 bw) ≤ (d/2) ≤ 24in.
d) if VnL ≤ 0.5 Vc then no shear reinforcement is required.

Note: The pervious code limits are for the f’c in Psi

Analysis and design of reinforced columns
based on U.S.D method

6.1 Introduction
Columns are define as an reinforced elements subjected to axial compression force this
force could be coincide with the column axis and called centric loaded columns or this
axial force may has some eccentricity a way from the axis of the column and hence
called eccentric columns.

6.2 Classification of columns

a) Classification with respect to the shape
1- Square or rectangular columns
2- Circular columns
3- Non-regular shape columns
b) Classification with respect to the type of construction
1- Reinforced or pre-cast columns
2- Composite columns: we use the composite columns in the following situations:
a) Architectural requirement
b) Fire protection
c) In case of excessive reinforcements
c) Classification with respect to tie arrangement
1- Tie columns where longitudinal reinforcements are connected by isolated ties.
2- Spiral columns where longitudinal reinforcements are connected by spiral R.

6.3 Code requirements

Some construction requirements and code requirements should be known:
1- Percentage of longitudinal reinforcements ρg = 0.01 - 0.08
2- Clear distance between longitudinal reinforcements ≤ 6in if it is > 6in then use extra
reinforcements
3- Minimum spacing between longitudinal reinforcements is 1.5 in
4- Use tie #3 for longitudinal reinforcements bars of #10 and tie #4 for longitudinal
reinforcements > #10
5- Spacing between tie is the smallest of a) S = 48 x diameter of the Tie
b) S = 16 x diameter of the longitudinal bars
c) S = least dimension of the column
6- Use concrete cover ≈ 1.5 in
6.4 Design of centric columns
In this type of columns the loads are resisted by the concrete and the steel such that
Pn = 0.85 f'c (Ag - As) + As Fy
And to avoid an unseen eccentricity then multiply the nominal capacity of the columns
by factor = 0.8 for tie columns and factor = 0.85 for spiral columns then the pervious
equation will be
Pn = 0.8 [0.85 f'c (Ag - As) + As Fy] for tie columns
Pn = 0.85 [0.85 f'c (Ag - As) + As Fy] for spiral columns
Pu = 0.7 x Pn then the pervious equations will be:
Pu = 0.7 x 0.8 [0.85 f'c (Ag - As) + As Fy] for tie columns
Pu = 0.7 x 0.85 [0.85 f'c (Ag - As) + As Fy] for spiral columns
Pu = 0.7 x 0.8 x Ag [0.85 f'c (1 - ρ) + ρ Fy] for tie columns where ρ = As / Ag ←
Pu = 0.7 x 0.85 x Ag [0.85 f'c (1 - ρ) + ρ Fy] for spiral columns where ρ = As / Ag ←

Steps of design of centric columns:

1- Compute Pu on the slab as Pu = 1.4 D.L + 1.7 L.L
2- Compute Pu on the column per floor and for the No. of floor
3- Choose the type of column that u need to design
4- Use one of the equations below depend on the type of column
Pu = 0.7 x 0.8 x Ag [0.85 f'c (1 - ρ) + ρ Fy] for tie columns where ρ = As / Ag
Pu = 0.7 x 0.85 x Ag [0.85 f'c (1 - ρ) + ρ Fy] for spiral columns where ρ = As / Ag
5- Choose ρ between 0.01 -0.08 and get Ag
6- Choose shape of column (square – rectangular – circular) and find the actual Ag
7- Compute As where As = ρ x Ag then choose bar size
7- Compute the No. of bar as No. of bar = As ÷ (As for one bar)
8- Compute the spacing between bars where:
Spacing = (circumference of column – 8 x cover) ÷ No. of bars
9- Choose ties bar size and compute the spacing between them where:
Spacing between ties is the smallest of a) S = 48 x diameter of the Tie
b) S = 16 x diameter of the longitudinal bars
c) S = least dimension of the column
Example 6.1
Consider the typical floor shown in figure below it is required to design a reinforced
tie column1 to support a 6 story building use dead load on the slab D.L = 10 KN/m2
and the live load L.L = 4 KN / m2 given that f'c = 25 MPa and Fy = 400 MPa

Solution
Pu = 1.4 x D.L + 1.7 x L.L = 1.4 x 10 + 1.7 x 4 = 20.8 KN / m2
Load on column1 per floor = 7 x 6 x 20.8 = 873.6 KN
Load on column1 for 6 floor = 6 x 873.6 = 5241.6 KN
For tie column Pu = 0.7 x 0.8 x Ag [0.85 f'c (1 - ρ) + ρ Fy]
Choose ρ = 0.04
5241.6 = 0.56 x Ag [0.85 x 25 x (1-0.04) + 0.04 x 400] get Ag
Ag = 257.140 x1000 = 257140 mm2
Choose circular column with diameter = 575 mm
Or choose square column b x h = 510 x 510 → Ag = 260100 mm2
As = 0.04 x 260100 = 10404 mm2
Choose Ø25 → No. of bar = As ÷ (As for one bar) = 10404 / 500 = 20.81
Spacing between bars = (circumference of column – 8 x cover) ÷ No. of bars
= (510x4 – 8 x 40) / 20.81 = 82.7 mm
Because 150mm > 82.7 mm > 70 mm so it is Ok
Choose ties Ø8
Spacing is the smallest of a) S = 48 x 8 = 384 mm ←
b) S = 16 x 25 = 400 mm
c) S = 510 mm
So choose longitudinal bar 21Ø25@82 mm
And ties Ø8@380 mm
6.5 Design of eccentricity columns using the standard tables
The axial force may has some eccentricity a way from the axis of the column this
eccentricity may makes the column is subjected to moment in addition to axial force
Where the moment is M = P x e where e is the distance that the axial force is eccentric
a way from the axis of the column.

Steps of design using standard tables:

1- Get Ag from the equation Pu = 0.7 x 0.8[0.85 f'c (Ag – As) + As Fy] neglect As
2- Choose b x h = Ag
3- Compute d'' where d'' = h – 2x(cover) – 2x(tie diameter) – longitudinal bar diameter
Where 2x(cover) + 2x(tie diameter) + longitudinal bar diameter ≈ 6 in
So d'' = h – 6 in
4- Compute γ = d'' ÷ h
5- Compute e where e = Mu ÷ Pu and compute e ÷ h
6- Compute Pu ÷ Ag
7- Determine the table that you work in it depends on f'c, Fy, γ
8- Locate the intersection between Pu ÷ Ag (step 6) with e ÷ h (step 5) and get ρg
9- Compute As where As = ρ x Ag and choose bar size
10- Arrange the bars a round the Ag of the column and check spacing
11- Choose tie bar size and check spacing between them
Example 6.2
Compute the As need for column to resist the following loads Pu = 280 Kip
And Mu = 200 ft-kip given that f'c = 4000 Psi and Fy = 60000 Psi

Solution

Pu = 0.7 x 0.8[0.85 f'c (Ag – As) + As Fy] neglect As we get

280 = 0.7 x 0.8 x [0.85 x 4 x Ag] get Ag
Ag = 147 in2
Choose b x h = 12 in x 14 in = 168 in2
d'' = 14 – 6 = 8 in
γ = d'' ÷ h = 8 ÷ 14 = 0.57
e = Mu ÷ Pu = 200 ÷ 280 = 0.71 x 12 = 8.5 in
e ÷ h = 8.5 ÷ 14 = 0.61
From table get ρg = 0.01 → As = ρg x Ag = 0.01 x 168 = 1.68 in2
Choose 6#5 As = 1.86 in2
No. of bars = 1.86 / 0.31 = 6
Spacing between bars = [(2x14+2x12) – 8 x 1.5] / 6 = 6.7 in < 6 in so we need to use
extra ties
Choose #3 ties spacing between ties is the smallest of a) 48 x (3/8) = 18 in
b) 16 x (5/8) = 10 in ←
c) 12 in
and for extra ties we will use #3@8 in

7.2 Design of isolated foundations
Steps of design:
1- Obtain the allowable bearing capacity of soil from geotechnical office qa if not
available assume 50 KN / m2 for a very weak soil
And assume qa between (75 – 200) KN / m2 for other soil
2- Compute service load Pservice = D.L + L.L and ultimate load Pu = 1.4 D.L + 1.7 L.L

3- Compute the area of the foundation where A = Pservice ÷ qan
Where qan = qa – thickness of foundation x γsoil
Assume thickness of foundation between (1 – 2) ft
And use γsoil = 15 KN / m3 (100 Ib / ft3)
4- Choose the shape and dimensions of the foundation where:
For the square footing B = L = √A
For rectangular footing B = (3 / 4) x L
5- Compute the ultimate stress under the foundation where σu = Pu ÷ Aactual
6- Check the failure modes on the foundation, which are:
a) Check one-way shear:
The one-way shear is occurred distance d from the face of the column but you
must check the two direction of footing if the footing is not square or if the
column is not square
For the long direction of the footing
It should be Ө Vc ≥ Vu where Ө = 0.85
Ө x 2 x √f'c x B x d ≥ σu x B x [(L/2) – (Lc/2) – d], f'c is in Psi
Ө x (2/12) x √f'c x B x d ≥ σu x B x [(L/2) – (Lc/2) – d], f'c is in MPa

If Ө Vc < Vu then increase d

One way shear →

b) Check two-way shear:

The two way shear is occurred a distance (d/2) from all faces of column
It should be Ө Vc ≥ Vu
Ө x 4 x √f'c x Po x d ≥ σu x [B x L – (Lc + d) x (Bc + d)], f'c is in Psi
Ө x (4/12) x √f'c x Po x d ≥ σu x [B x L – (Lc + d) x (Bc + d)], f'c is in MPa
Where P0 = 2 x [(Lc + d) + (Bc + d)]
Ө Vc < Vu then increase d

Introduction to design of stairs
based on U.S.D method

9.1 Type of stairs

The stairs are classified into more than one type as flowed:
1- Cantilever type
2- Transversly supported type (where the elevator is exist)
3- Open well type (where there is no elevator)
4- Longitudinal supported type ←

9.2 Design of longitudinal supported stair type

Before we start the design of the longitudinal supported stair type we must take some
architectural consideration:
1- Number of steps on the stair for one flight should not be more than 16 step after
that we must make landing but the ideal is 12 step
2- Width of rising (R) (look to the figure) should not be more than 19 cm but the
ideal is 15 cm
3- The ideal width of going (G) (look to the figure) is 30 cm
4- 57 cm < 2R + G ≤ 63 cm
5- The width of the flight for the school stair should not be less than 1.5 m
6- The width of the flight for the ordinary building should not be less than 1.20 m
7- t = span ÷ 16 for simply supported or t = span ÷ 8 for cantilever
8- L.L on the school stair ≈ 6 KN/m and L.L on the ordinary building ≈ 4 KN/m ☺
Design of longitudinal supported stair type (cont.)
Steps of design of longitudinal supported stair type:
1- Consider the level between the first and the second floor, assume width for the
going and the rising, and determine number of step on each flight
2- Compute the thickness of stair t = span ÷ 16 for simply supported
or t = span ÷ 8 for cantilever
3- Compute the actual life load (L.La) and the actual dead load (D.La) on the stair
Where D.La = [(R ÷ 2) + t]x width of stair flights x1x γcon.+3x width of stair flights
L.La = L.L(given) x width of stair flights where D.La and L.La is in (KN/m)
4- Compute the ultimate load Wu = [1.4 x D.La + 1.7 x L.La] x 2
5- Compute the ultimate moment Mu where:
a) For the simply supported stair Mu = [Wu x L2] ÷ 8
b) For the cantilever supported stair:
1- Mu(+) = [(Wu x L2) ÷ 8] – [1.4 x D.La x 2 x L2] ÷ 2
2- Mu(-) = [Wu x L2] ÷ 2
6- Compute MnL = Mu ÷ 0.9
7- Compute the area of steel As = MnL ÷ [ Fy x 0.9 x (t – 20mm)]
8- Choose the bar size and check the code limits and the capacity of the section ☺

4- n is the modular ratio n = [Es ÷ Ec] where n > 6 and Es = 200 GPa (29000 Ksi)
and Ec = 57000 x √f'c where f'c in Psi
or Ec = 4700 x √f'c where f'c in MPa
5- From the figure below:
a) (k x d) is the depth of the neutral axis
b) (j x d) is the internal moment arm
6- k = r ÷ [n + r] ≈ [(1÷3) – 0.45]
7- j = 1 – [k ÷ 3]
10.2 steps of design based on W.S.D method
Steps of design for the singly reinforced rectangular section:
1- Choose the section b x h and compute d ≈ h – 2.5 in
2- Compute allowable stresses fsa = 0.5 x Fy and fca = 0.45 x f'c
3- Compute r = [fsa ÷ fca] > 10
4- Compute n = [Es ÷ Ec] > 6 where Es = 200 GPa (29000 Ksi)
and Ec = 4700 x √f'c where f'c in MPa or Ec = 57000 x √f'c where f'c in Psi
5- Compute k = r ÷ [n + r] ≈ [(1÷3) – 0.45)]
6- Compute j = 1 – [k ÷ 3]
7- Compute the service load Ws = D.L + L.L
8- Compute the service moment Ms
9- Compute area of steel As = Ms ÷ [fsa x j x d]
10- Choose bar size and check the capacity of the section

Remember: if u design based on W.S.D method, you must always check design using
the ultimate strength design method U.S.D ☺
 Tutorials

Tutorial No. 1
Use the given data and the drawing shown to design the following:
1- The one way solid slab S1
2- The hollow block one way ribbed slab
3- The column C1
The given data are:
1- f’c = 30 MPa , 2- Fy = 420 MPa , 3- 200 KN/m2,4- angle of repose = 30
5- Coefficient of friction = 0.45, 6- design the building for 4 stories
7- L.L = 4 KN /m2 everywhere except for stair = 6KN/m2
Solution of Tutorial No.1

1- Design of solid slab S1

a) dimension: h = 140mm , d = 110mm , b = 1000mm(unit length = 12in)
b) Loads: D.L - self weight = 0.14 x 1 x 1 x 24 = 3.36 KN/m
- fill = 0.12 x 1 x 1 x 18 = 2.16 KN/m
- Tile + mortar + plastering = 0.07 x 1 x 1 x 22 = 1.54 KN/m
Total D.L = 3.36 + 2.16 + 1.54 = 7 KN/m
L.L = 4 KN/m
Wu = 1.4 x 7 + 1.7 x 4 = 16.6 KN/m
Because there is a joist separate the two side of building therefore it is treated as
simply supported slab
So Mu = (Wu x L2) ÷ 8 = (16.6 x 42) ÷ 8 = 33.2 KN.m
Mn = Mu ÷ 0.9 = 33.2 ÷ 0.9 = 36.89 KN.m
As = (36.89 x 106) ÷ (420 x 0.9 x 110) = 887.18 mm2
Choose ø14 @160mm

2- Design of one way ribbed slab

a) dimension: h = 300mm , d = 260mm , bw = 120mm , tf = 60mm , span = 6m
bf = (bw + length of block) ÷ 1000 = (120 + 400) ÷ 1000 = 520mm
Note: we assume block thickness = 240mm above
b) Loads: D.L: for the thickness = 300mm of ribbed slab from the table of the self
weight the D. L = 4.2 + 2.2 = 6.3 KN/m
L.L = 4 KN/m
Wu = 1.4 x 6.3 + 1.7 x 4 = 15.62 KN/m
Wu(for one ribbed) = Wu x bf = 15.62 x 0.52 = 8.12 KN/m
c) Design for +ve moment
Mu(+ve) = (Wu x L2) ÷ 11 = (8.12 x 36) ÷ 11 = 26.5 KN.m
Mn(+ve) = Mu(+ve) ÷ 0.9 = 26.5 ÷ 0.9 = 29.4 KN.m
As(+ve) = (29.4 x 106) ÷ (420 x 0.95 x 260) = 283.83mm2
Choose 2ø14 → As = 308mm2
d) design for the –ve moment
Mu(-ve) = (Wu x L2) ÷ 9 = (32.48 x 36) ÷ 9 = 32.48 KN.m
Mn(-ve) = Mu(-ve) ÷ 0.9 = 32.48 ÷ 0.9 = 36.1 KN.m
As(-ve) = (36.1 x 106) ÷ (420 x 0.95 x 260) = 347.88mm2
Choose 1ø16 and 1ø14 → As = 345mm2

+ve moment -ve moment

3- Design of column C1
a) Loads: D.L = 5.25 x 6 x D.L (on ribbed slab) = 5.25 x 6 x 6.3 = 198.45 KN
L.L = 5.25 x 6 x L.L = 5.25 x 6 x 4 = 126 KN
b) Design of longitudinal steel bar
Wu = [1.4 x 198.45 + 1.7 x 126] x 5 = 2460.15 KN
Wu = 0.7 x 0.8 x Ag x [0.85 x f’c x (1 – ρ) + Fy x ρ]
Choose ρ = 0.04 get Ag = 106.46 x 103 mm2
Choose square column √Ag = 326.3 choose column 350 x 350
As = 0.04 x 350 x 350 = 4900 mm2
Choose 17ø 20 @ 75mm
c) Design of stirrup choose ø10 stirrups
Spacing between stirrups is the smallest of
1- 16 x diameter of the longitudinal bar = 16 x 20 = 320 mm
2- 48 x diameter of stirrup = 48 x 10 = 480 mm
3- The smallest dimension = 350 mm
So the spacing is 320 mm → stirrup ø10 @ 320 mm
4- Design of the footing F1
a) Loads: the same loads as on the column C1 Wu = 2460.15 KN
W(service) = [D.L + L.L] x 5 = [198.45 + 126] x 5 = 1172 KN
qn = qa – thickness x γsoil
Choose h = 600 mm, d = 530 mm
qn = 200 – 0.6 x 18 = 189.2 KN/m2
A(of footing) = W(service) ÷ qn = 1172 ÷ 189.2 = 6.2 m2
Choose square footing √A = 2.49 choose footing 2.5 m x 2.5 m → A = 6.25m2
σu = Wu ÷ A = 2460.15 ÷ 6.25 = 394 KN/m2
b) Check failure modes
1) One way shear:
Vu = σu x B x [(L÷2) – (Lc÷2) – d]
= 394 x 2.500 x [(2.500÷2) – (0.350÷2) – 0.530] = 563.83 KN
V(from concrete) = (√f’c ÷ 6) x B x d x 103 if f’c in Psi use (2√f’c x B x d)
= (√30 ÷ 6) x 2.5 x 0.530 x 103 = 1209.56 KN
It must be ө x V(from concrete) ≥ Vu
0.85 x 1209.56 > 536.83
1028.1 > 536.83 so it is Ok….
2- Two way shear
Po = (d + Lc) x 4 = (0.53 + 0.35) x 4 = 3.52 m
Vu = σu x [A(footing) – (d + Lc)2]
= 394 x [6.25 – (0.53 + 0.35)2] = 2157.41 KN
V(from concrete) = (√f’c ÷ 3) x Po x d x 103 if f’c in Psi use (4√f’c x Po x d)
= (√30 ÷ 3) x 3.52 x 0.53 x 103 = 3406.1 KN
It must be ө x V(from concrete) ≥ Vu
0.85 x 3406.1 > 2157.41
2895.2 > 2157.41 so it is Ok….
3- flextural failure
Mu = σu x L x [(L÷2) – (Lc÷2)]2 x 0.5
= 394 x 2.5 x [(2.5÷2) – (0.35÷2)]2 x 0.5 = 569.14 KN.m
Mn = Mu ÷ 0.9 = 569.14 ÷ 0.9 = 632.4 K.m
As = (632.4 x 106) ÷ (420 x 0.9 x 530) = 3156.6 mm2
Choose ø16@150mm
ρ = 3200 ÷ (2500 x 530) = 0.0024 > ρmin = 0.002 so it is Ok…
