Find reinforcement for resisted horizontal shear in composite slab, ACI318‐14 Project FIT‐1

slab name New plinth of CE‐20D

Date 06‐Jun‐20

bv = the width of cross section at contact surface being = 1 m.

investigated for horizontal shear

Vu = Vertical shear force ( factored load ) = 4608 kg.

Vn = horizontal shear force ( factored load )

 = strength reduction factor = 0.8

h = The totally depth of composite section = 30+50 = 80 cm.

d = The distance from compression strees outside for entire = 65 cm. >0.8h OK
composite section to centriod reinforcements.

fc' = the ultimate strength of concrete at 28 days = 280 ksc.

Ac = area of concrete section resisting shear transfer = 27138 cm2

= 168.3 x 119.2 +0.5x(168.3 x 84.1)

db = diameter of re‐bar = 16 mm.

fyt = the yeild strength of transfer reinforcement = 4000 ksc.

 35*bv*d = 0.8*35*100*65 = 182000 kg. , ACI318‐14, 16.4.4

In case of Vu < 0.75*35 bv*d , find Nominal horizontal shear strength

Vn = 5.5*bv*d , concrete placed against hardened concrete not intentionally roughened., Table16.4.4.2, ACI318‐14

Vn = 0.8*35750
= 28600 kg > Vu OK

Find re‐bar requirement for resisted horizontal shear

S= spacing of shear transfer reinforcement ( assume) = 35 cm. <60 cm, OK
bw = the width of cross section = 100 cm.
