C9: DESIGN OF PLINTH BEAM AS PER IS CODE

PLINTH BEAM DESIGN

LONGER SPAN:

Span, L = 5.248 mm

Assume overall depth, D = 700 mm = 0.70 m

Clear cover = 25 mm

Assume 16 mm dia bars

EFFECTIVE DEPTH:

d = D – cc – ( dia / 2 ) – dia

= 700 – 25 – ( 16 / 2 ) – 16

d = 651 mm ≃ 0.651 m

Breadth of beam, b = 230 mm = 0.230 m

LOAD CALCULATION:

Load from beam,

Dead load = 37.72 KN/m

Live load = 5 KN/m

Load from lintel = 27 KN/m

Self weight of earth beam = L x b x d x γ

= 1 x 0.23 x 0.651 x 25

= 3.74 KN/m

Total load = 73.46 KN/m

Factored load = 1.5 x 73.46 = 110.19 KN/m

BENDING MOMENT:

Mu = ( W x l2 ) / 12

= ( 110.19 x 5.2482 ) / 12

= 252.89 KNm

CHECK FOR DEPTH:

d2 = (Mu) / (0.138 x fck x b)

= ( 252.89 x 106) / (0.138 x 20 x 230)

d = 631 mm

∴ 651 mm > 631 mm

Hence safe.

Overall depth, D = 631 + 25 + ( 16 / 2 ) + 16 = 680 mm ≃ 700 mm

AREA OF STEEL REQUIRED:

Xu (max) = 0.48 x d = 0.48 x 651 = 312.48 mm

Mu = 0.87 x fy x Ast x [ d – (0.42 x Xu max)]

249.91 x 106 = 0.87 x 415 x Ast x [ 651 – ( 0.42 x 312.48 )]

Ast = 1331.72 mm2

Provide 16 mm dia bars.

No of bars = Ast min / ast min

= 1331.72 / 201.06 = 6.339 ≃ 8 nos

Ast min = ( 0.85 x b x d ) / fy

= ( 0.85 x 230 x 700 ) / 415

Ast min = 337.52 mm2 ≃ 340 mm2

CHECK FOR SHEAR:
Vu = ( W x l ) / 2 = ( 110.19 x 5.248 ) / 2 = 289 KN
Nominal shear stress (τv) = Vu / bd
= ( 289*103) / (230*651)
τv = 1.93 N/mm2
% of tensile reinforcement Pt = 100Ast / bd
= ( 1331.72*100 ) / ( 230*651 )
= 0.889 %
From IS 456-2000, table 19.,
τc = 0.608 N/mm2
1.01 N/mm2 > 0.287 N/mm2
τc > τv
Hence OK.

Sv = ( 0.87 x fy x Asv x d ) / Vus
= ( 0.87 x 415 x 78.54 x 651 ) / ( 197.96x103 )
Sv = 93.2 mm ≃ 90 m
b) Spacing as per min shear reinforcement,

BENDING MOMENT:
Mu = ( W x l2 ) / 12
= ( 95.46 x 5.2482 ) / 12
= 85.58 KNm

CHECK FOR DEPTH:

d2 = (Mu) / (0.138 x fck x b)
= ( 85.58 x 106) / (0.138 x 20 x 230)
d = 367 mm
∴ 670 mm > 367 mm
Hence safe.

τv = 1.01 N/mm2
% of tensile reinforcement Pt = 100Ast / bd
