Bracket for Future Prestressing
The following calculations are carried out following the design procedures of " Concrete Bridge Practice :
Analysis, Design and Economics " by Dr. V.K.Raina. )
Basic Inputs
1. Distance of point load from face of support a = 1264 mm
2. Overall depth of section at face of support h = 3300 mm
3. Clear Cover c = 40 mm
4. Dia of main reinforcement  = 25 mm
5. Effective Depth of Section (with double layer reinf.) d' = 3222.5 mm
6. Design Depth of Section ( d = 0.8 d' ) d = 2578 mm
7. Depth of section at edge s = 1850 mm
8. Width of Cantilever / Corbel / Bracket b = 1200 mm
9. Grade of Concrete = 40
10. Grade of Reinforcement fsy = 415 Mpa
11. Ultimate Shear Value Vu = 2850 kN
12. Actual Horizontal Load Hu = 0 kN
Conditions
Condition I
For the section to be designed as a corbel " a / d' " shall be less than 1.
Hence a / d' = 1264 / 3222.5 = 0.392 < 1.0
As the ratio " a / d' " is less than 1 so the section is to be designed as a corbel
Condition II
For the section to be designed as a corbel " s / d' " shall be greater than 0.5.
Hence s / d' = 1850 / 3222 = 0.57 > 0.5 Proceed with the design
Loadings
Vertical Load (Vu)
Ultimate Shear Value 2850.00 kN (Refer to separate calculations)

Horizontal Load (Hu)

Hu = 1.7 x actual horizontal force in working load condition = 0 kN
but not less than
= 0.2 * V u = 0.2 x 2850 = 570.00 kN
Maximum Horizontal Load " H u " 570.00 kN

Now the design for the corbel is carried out as per the following steps.
STEP I
Check for Nominal Shear Strength
Ensure V u / b d < = 0.15 fc'
where; Vu = 2850.00 kN
= 2850000 N
bd = 1200 x 2578 sqmm
= 3093600 mm2
Therefore; V u
/bd = 2850000 / 3093600
V u
/bd = 0.92 N / mm2
Now; fc' = 28 - day standard cylinder strength of concrete used.
= 0.80 times the standard cube strength
0.15 fc' = 0.15 x 0.8 x 40
= 4.80 N / mm2 Ensured

Hence V u
/ b d < = 0.15 fc' is Ensured

STEP II
Calculation of Shear Friction Reinforcement " A vf
"
V u
A vf =
0.85 fsy 
where; fsy = yeild stress value of the reinforcement used.
= 415 N/ mm2

Type of
Surface
Type of Surface 
(1/2/3
/4)
1 Concrete placed monolithically across interface. 1.40
2 Concrete placed against hardened concrete but with roughened surface 1.00
2
3 Concrete anchored to structural steel 0.70
4 Concrete placed against hardened concrete but surface not roughened 0.60

 = 1
(for Concrete placed against hardened concrete but with roughened surface)
2850 x 1000
A vf = mm2
0.85 x 415 x 1
A vf = 8079 mm2
STEP III
Calculation for Direct Tension Reinforcement " A t ".
Hu
At =
0.85 fsy
Hu = 570.00 kN

570 x 1000
At = mm2
0.85 x 415
= 1616 mm2
STEP IV
Calculation for Flexural Tension Reinforcement " A f "

[V u
a+H u
( h - d' ) ]
Af =
0.85 fsy d
[ ( 2850 x 1000 x 1264 ) + ( 570 x 1000 ) x ( 3300 - 3222.5 ) ]
=
0.85 x 415 x 2578
= 4010 mm2
STEP V
Total Primary Tensile Reinforcement " A s
"
A s >= (Af+At) Provide the largest of these three
>= (2/3A vf
+At)
magnitudes as Total Primary
>= ( 0.04 fc' / fsy ) b d' Tensile Reinforcement As.
(Af+At) = 4009.92 + 1615.88 mm2
= 5625.79 mm2
(2/3A vf
+At) = 2 / 3 x 8079.38 + 1615.88 mm2
= 7002.13 mm2
( 0.04 fc' / fsy ) b d' = 0.04 x 0.8 x 40 / 415 x 1200 x 3222. mm2

= 11927.13 mm2
Hence A s = maximum of ( 5625.79 , 7002.13 , 11927.13 )

STEP VI
The total sectional area of the stirrups is " A h
" (closed ties) to be provided horizontally, one below
the other, and next to " As "
A h >= 0.5 * A f Provide the largest of these two
>= 0.333 * A magnitudes as Ah.
vf

Therefore;
0.5 * A f = 0.5 x 4009.92 and 0.333*A vf = 0.333 x 8079.38
= 2004.96 mm 2
= ### mm2
Hence; A h = maximum of ( 2004.96 , 2690.43 )
= 2690 mm2
STEP VII
The total steel in vertical stirrups is " A v
"
A v = 0.50 * ( V u
-Vc)*p
f sy
d
Now; Vc = 10 bd in kgs = 10 x 120 x 257.8
where b & d are in cms = 309360 kg = 3093.6 kN
Pitch = 225 mm
Av = 0.5 x ( 2850 - 3093.6 ) x 225 x 1000
415 x 2578
A v = -25.62 mm2 Though no steel is rerquire we provide
Reinforcement Details some R/F for extra R/F
Total Primary Tensile Reinforcement " A s
"
A s = 11927 mm2
Diameter of Primary Steel = 25 mm
Area of one bar = 490.87 mm2
No. of Bars provided = 26 nos.
A s provided = 26 * 490.88
= 12763 mm2 > A s R/F is adequate
So we provide 26 nos. 25 mm diameter bars as main reinforcement
Horizontal Steel ( Closed Stirrups) " A h "
= A 2690.43 mm2
h

The stirrups shall be provided below As and within a depth of " 2 / 3 d' " below As.
2 / 3 d' = (2 / 3 ) x 3222.5
= 2149.00 mm
Diameter of Stirrup Bar = 10 mm
Area of one bar = 78.54 mm2
No. of layers of Stirrups = 5 nos.
Spacing of Stirrups = 430 mm
No. of legs of stirrups = 8
A h provided = 78.54 x 5 x 8
= 3142 mm2 > Ah R/F is adequate
So we provide 8 legged 10 mm diameter bars as horizontal stirrups in 5 layers
Vertical Steel ( Closed Stirrups) " A v "
A v = -25.62 mm2
Diameter of Stirrup Bar = 10 mm
Area of one bar = 78.54 mm2
Pitch = 225 mm
No. of legs of stirrups = 4
A v provided = 78.54 x 4
= 314.16 mm2 > A v R/F is adequate
