SHEAR LINK FOR CBP

Materials
Pile diameter, h = 1000 [mm]
Cover, c = 75 [mm]
Concrete, fcu = 35 [N/mm2]
Reinforcement, fy = 460 [N/mm2]
Main Reinforcement = 12 T 40
Reinforcement Area, As = 15079.64 [mm2]

Shear Reinforcement
Area of Concrete, Ac = 785398.16 [mm2] 100As/bd
Effective Area, Aeff. = 549778.71 [mm2] (400/d)^0.25
Effective Depth, d = 745.10 [mm] (fcu/25)^0.33
Effective breath, b = 737.86 [mm] vc
Link Reinforcement, fyv = 460 [N/mm2]

100 As/Ac = 1.92 [%]

Concrete Shear Resist., Vc = 0.88 [N/mm2]

Shear Force, V = 400 [kN]

Ultimate Shear Force, Vult= 600 [kN] vc
Shear stress, v = 1.09 [N/mm2] v
Thus, vc + 0.4
[vc < v < (vc + 0.4)] Nominal Link Required 0.8 (fcu)^0.5

Take link spacing, Sv = 100 [mm] 2
Area of link required, Asv = 73.75 [mm2] 3
Provide = 1 x T 10 @ 100 c/c 0
Area of link provided = 157.08 [mm2] (SUFFICIENT)
