Chair of Modelling and Simulation of Structures Exercise Structural Engineering Exercise — Structural Engineering — RC Design (ULS and SLS) 1. Task The given two-span reinforced concrete T-beam (part of a deck) and the hinged column at support B (below the T-beam) should be designed for ULS (bending and shear) and SLS (cracking and deflec- tion). The ends of the T-beam are supported on walls of reinforced concrete (non-fixed). The column get an extra permanent load of Neg= 500 KN from another column above support B. 1.1 Geometry, Material and Loading structural system: EPP p iit ya CPT pr rrr ys ° 020m len = 8,00 m 220m ‘T-beam cross section: , 0,925 m column cross section: 038m 025m — Aeonam = 4,5 ma. 035m | material: concrete 20/25, XC1 specific weight: Yeascee = 25,00 KNimi? reinforcing steel $500 (8500 - according to german classification) loading: permanent load: self-weight (UDL, line load) imposed load: q.= 27,50 KNim (UDL, line load) structural specifications: T-beam reinforcement: @,,= 20 mm (bending, span /support, bars) = 10mm (shear, stirrup) column reinforcement: ©, = 12 mm (bars) ~= 8 mm (stisrup) 1.2 Workflow 1.2.1 Calculation of design forces (span moment, support moment, support reactions/ shear forces) 1.2.2 Design parameters of materials and geometry (material, concrete cover, effective depth and width) 1.2.3 ULS design: T-beam — bending without axial forces (using model of stress-block) 1.24 ULS design: T-beam - shear 1.2.5 ULS design: column 1.2.6 SLS design: T-beam — cracking and deflection 1.2.7 Reinforcement detailing 0,45 m Chair of Modelling and Simulation of Structures Exercise Structural Engineering 2.
