and Technology
Exercise (2): RC Frames
Civil Engineering Department Due date: In the week starting
01/04/2023

• Use ECP 203/2020 requirements in all problems, assume any missing data reasonably.
Design the RC two hinged frame shown in the figure below, the intermediate frame is
subjected to the following loads: Wu (equivalent uniform distribution including self-
weight of the upper part) = 120 kN/m’, and Pu (concentrated load at the free ends) =
100 kN. If spacing of the frame is 6 m and thickness of slabs is 140 mm. (assume that
the frame is braced in out of plane direction). the critical loads on the corbel are Qumax
= 500 kN and Qumin = 90 kN, Nu = 100 kN.
Draw to scale the reinforcement details of the frame and all necessary cross-sections
(Scale 1/25).
Design and draw to scale the reinforcement details of the corbel (Scale 1/20).
Design and draw to scale the reinforcement details of the Hinge as a concrete hinge
(Scale 1/20).
Given: fcu= 30 N/mm2 and steel grade B400DWR (fy= 400 N/mm2)
For steel grade B400DWR, cmax/d = 0.42, µmax = 4.31×10-4fcu and Rmax = 0.187
