fc' = 27.56 MPa
fyt = 60000 psi
fyt = 413.4 MPa
Vu = 80 kips
Vu = 355856 N
Tu = 50 ft-kips
Tu = 67790568 N-mm
steel cover = 1.75 in

Solution:

1. Is Torsional Reinforcing Needed?

Acp = b wh
2
Acp = 290000 mm

Pcp = 2bw+2h
Pcp = 2250 mm

Tu = 67790568 kips-ft
0.083λ√fc' [Acp2/Pcp] = 16286628 N-mm NSCP2015 Table 422.7.4.1(a)
0.083λ√fc' [Acp2/Pcp] = 16286628 N-mm

16286627.99 < 67790568

0.083λ√fc' [Acp2/Pcp] < Tu

Therefore, torsion should be considered.

2. Sectional Properties Computation

x1 = 311.1 mm
y1 = 636.1 mm
 Aoh = x1y1
2
Aoh = 197890.71 mm
Ao = 0.85Aoh NSCP2015 Section 422.7.6.1.1
2
Ao = 168207.1 mm
ph = 2(x1+y1)
ph = 1894.4 mm

3. Is the concrete section sufficient enough for torsion?

'
Vc = 0.17λ√(fc ) bwd
Vc = 240285.8 N

Vu/bwd = 1.3217055 MPa

TuPh/1.7Aoh2 1.92904 MPa

Vc/bwd = 0.8924595 MPa

'
0.66√fc = 3.4648429 MPa

2 2 2 '
√[(Vu/bwd) +(TuPh/1.7Aoh ) ] ≤ φ[ (Vc/bwd) + 0.66√fc ] NSCP2015 Section 422.7.7.1
2.338397034 ≤ 3.2679768

Therefore, section is sufficient.

4. Solving for Required Transverse Torsional Reinfocing

Tn = Tu/φ
Tn = 90387424 N-mm

Assume ϴ = 45° per ACI Section 22.7.6.1.2

At/s = Tn/2Aofyt cot ϴ NSCP2015 Equation 422.7.6.1a

2
At/s = 0.6499249 mm /mm

5. Shear Reinforcing Area Required

Vu = 355856 N
0.5φVc = 90107.176 N
Vu > 0.5φVc
Therefore, shear reinforcement is required

Vs = (Vu - φVc)/φ
Vs = 234188.86 N

Av/s = Vs/fytd
2
Av/s = 0.8416203 mm /mm

For 2-legged stirrups, web reinforcing required is:

Av+t/s = 2At/s + Av/s
= 2.1414702 mm2/mm

Using No.4 Stirrups

2
Astirrup = 132.73229 mm
s = 2Astirrup/(Av+t/s)
s = 123.96371 mm
say, 120 mm

Max. Allow. Spacing of Stirrups

 smax = 300 mm NSCP2015 Section 422.7.6.3
Ph/8 = 236.8 mm NSCP2015 Section 422.7.6.3
say, 225 mm

Av+2At
0.062√fc' bws/fyt = 37.79219 mm NSCP2015 Section 409.6.4.2
0.35bws/fyt = 40.638607 mm NSCP2015 Section 409.6.4.2
2(Astirrup) = 265.46458 mm

'
0.062√fc bws/fyt < 0.35bws/fyt < 2(Astirrup)
Therefore, use No.4 stirrups @ 120 mm o.c.

6. Determining Longitudinal Torsional Reinforcing

2
Al = (At/s)ph(fyt/fy)cot ϴ
2
Al = 1231.2178 mm

2
At/s = 0.6499249 mm /mm
2
0.175bw/fyt = 0.1693275 mm /mm
0.649924949 > 0.1693275

Therefore:
min. Al = (0.42√fc' Acp/fy) - [(At/s)ph(fyt/fy)] NSCP2015 Section 409.6.4.3
2
min. Al = 315.51899 mm

315.518991 < 1231.2178

Therefore, OK!!

Using No. 4 Stirrups

No. of stirrups = Al/Astirrup
No. of stirrups = 9.2759481
say, 10 pcs

Answers:

Add Transverse Two-legged No.4 stirrups @ 120 mm O.C.

Add 10-Longitudinal No.4 stirrups distributed around as shown.
