OF TIE BARS
Slab thickness 0.26 m
Lane width, b 3.5 m
Coefficient of friction,f 1.5
3
Denisty of concrete, kN/m 24
Allowable tensile stress in plain bars,Mpa 125
Allowable tensile stress in deformed bars,Mpa 200
Allowable bond stress for plain tie bars, Mpa 1.75
Allowable bond stress for deformed tie bars, Mpa 2.46
Design for plain bars
Diameter of tie bar, dt 12 mm
Area of plain steel bar required per metre width of
As = bfW/S 262.08 mm2/mm
joint to resist the frictional force at slab bottom, A s
2
Cross sectional area of tie bar, A 113.04 mm
Perimeter of tie bar Pptb 37.68
Spacing of tie bars A/As 431.32
Provide spacing of 360 mm c/c
Length of tie bar L =2* Sst*A /B * Pttb 428.57
Increase the length by 100mm for loss of bond due to painting and another 50mm for
tolerence in placement
Therefore , the required length of tie bar 578.57 mm
Say 580.00 mm
Design for deformed bars
Diameter of tie bar, d t 12 mm
Area of deformed steel bar required per metre width
of joint to resist the fricitonal force at the slab bottom, As = bfW/S 163.80 mm2/mm
As
Spacing of tie bars A/As 690.11
Provide spacing of 600 mm c/c
L =2* Sst*A /B * Pttb 487.80
Increase the length by 100mm for loss of bond due to painting and another 50mm for
tolerence in placement
Therefore , the required length of tie bar 637.80 mm
Say 640.00 mm
