a. Ultimate Bending Moment and Shear Force

From the SAP2000 analysis,

Maximum hogging moment at support = 164.18 kNm

Cl.6.1(4) in Ref.1 Add. moment for min. eccentricity to compression force = 5.3486 kNm
Total hogging moment at support = 169.5286 kNm

Maximum sagging moment at span = 52.39 kNm

Cl.6.1(4) in Ref.1 Add. moment for min. eccentricity to compression force = 5.3486 kNm
Total sagging moment at mid span = 57.7386 kNm

Maximum shear force = 138.26 kN

Axial force = 267.43 kN

Since N/bhfck < 0.1, the section is under tensile failure, and the effect of axial load can be ignored.

Torsion = 0 kNm

Effective depth d (bottom) = h - c - f/2 - f'

Checking of critical moment at support

It is noted that EC2 does not give any equations for the analysis or design of bending moment of sections.
However, it is noted that the assumptions stipulated in Clause 6.1(2) Reference 1 are the same as the design
assumptions stipultated in Clause 3.4.4.1 in BS8110-1997. Thus the equations used are similar to those in BS8110.
In the following calculations, equations derived based on EC2 and BS8110 in Reference 4 are used:

Eq.4.10 in Ref. 4 K = M / bd2fck

In Eurocode 2, design of members with shear reinforcement is based on strut and tie model as shown
in the following diagram.

Fig. 6.5 in Ref. 1

Cl. 6.2.3 (2) in Ref. 1 where 1 ≤ cot θ ≤ 2.5

Take θ = 22 degrees ( i.e. cot θ = 2.475 )
Eq. 6.9 in Ref. 1 VRD, max = αcw bw z v1 fcd / (cotθ + tanθ)
where αcw = coefficient taking account of the stress state in compression chords
Eq. 6.11.aN in Ref. 1 = 1
v1 = strength reduction factor for concrete cracked in shear
Eq. 6.6N in Ref. 1 = 0.6 (1-fck,cyl/250)

= 0.516
z = 306 mm
fcd = fck,cyl / γc
= 35 / 1.5
= 23.33 MPa

Thus, VRD, max = αcw bw z v1 fcd / (cotθ + tanθ)

= 1 x 300 x 306 x 0.516 x 23 / (2.475 + 1 / 2.475)
= 383.7678 kN
> 138.3 kN

Therefore, shear resistance VRd,s should be taken as 138.3 kN.

VRd,s = Asw z fywd cot θ / s where fywd = fyk / γs 434.783 Mpa

By re-arranging the terms,

Asw / s = VRd,s / z fywd cot θ

= 138.3 x 1000 / (306 x 435 x 2.475)
Cl.9.2.2 in Ref.1 = 0.42 where s < 241.5 mm Provide

Table Appendix A.4 Provide 2 legs H 12 - 250 s.s. (Asw / s = 0.904779 ) as shear links

in Ref. 4

Check minimum shear reinforcement:

Eq. 9.4 in Ref. 1 Shear reinforcement ratio ρw = Asw / (s bw sinα)

where α = angle between shear reinforcement and long. Axis
= 90 degrees

minimum shear reinforcement ratio ρw,min = (0.08√fck,cyl) / fyk

When (0.08√fck,cyl) fyk = Asw / (s bw sinα)

∴ Asw / s = (0.08√fck,cyl) / fyk bw sinα
= (0.08 (35) ^0.5 / (500 x 300 sin 90)
= 0.28
< 0.905
Therefore, provide H 12 - 250 s.s. (Asw / s = 0.905 )

Eqt. 6.6N in Ref.1 where v1 = 0.516
αcw = 1
θ = 45 degrees Adopt a larger value of θ
fcd = 23.33 Mpa

Thus, TRd,max = 2 x 0.516 x 1 x 23 x 67347 x 86 x sin 45 cos 45

= 7E+07 Nmm
= 69.502 kNm

VRd,s = Asw z fywd cotθ/ s

= 297.841 kN

VRd,max = VRd,c + VRd,s = 112.7 + 298

= 410 kN

TEd/TRd,max + VEd/VRd,max = 0 / 69.502 + 138 / 410

where α = angle between shear reinforcement and long. Axis

minimum shear reinforcement ratio ρw,min = (0.08√fck,cyl) / fyk

When (0.08√fck,cyl) fyk = Asw / (s bw sinα)

In Eurocode 2, design of members with shear reinforcement is based on strut and tie model as shown
in the following diagram.

Cl. 6.2.3 (2) in Ref. 1 where 1 ≤ cot θ ≤ 2.5

Take θ = 22 degrees ( i.e. cot θ = 2.475 )
Eq. 6.9 in Ref. 1 VRD, max = αcw bw z v1 fcd / (cotθ + tanθ)
where αcw = coefficient taking account of the stress state in compression chords

v1 = strength reduction factor for concrete cracked in shear
Eq. 6.6N in Ref. 1 = 0.6 (1-fck,cyl/250)

= 0.516
z = 492 mm
fcd = fck,cyl / γc
= 35 / 1.5
= 23.33 MPa

Thus, VRD, max = αcw bw z v1 fcd / (cotθ + tanθ)

= 1 x 400 x 492 x 0.516 x 23 / (2.475 + 1 / 2.475)
= 823.1541 kN
> 165.9 kN

Therefore, shear resistance VRd,s should be taken as 165.9 kN.

VRd,s = Asw z fywd cot θ / s where fywd = fyk / γs 434.783 Mpa

By re-arranging the terms,

Asw / s = VRd,s / z fywd cot θ

= 165.9 x 1000 / (492 x 435 x 2.475)
Cl.9.2.2 in Ref.1 = 0.31 where s < 388.5 mm Provide

Table Appendix A.4 Provide 2 legs H 16 - 200 s.s. (Asw / s = 2.010619 ) as shear links

in Ref. 4

Check minimum shear reinforcement:

Eq. 9.4 in Ref. 1 Shear reinforcement ratio ρw = Asw / (s bw sinα)

where α = angle between shear reinforcement and long. Axis
= 90 degrees

minimum shear reinforcement ratio ρw,min = (0.08√fck,cyl) / fyk

When (0.08√fck,cyl) fyk = Asw / (s bw sinα)

∴ Asw / s = (0.08√fck,cyl) / fyk bw sinα
= (0.08 (35) ^0.5 / (500 x 400 sin 90)
= 0.38
< 2.011
Therefore, provide H 16 - 200 s.s. (Asw / s = 2.011 )

Eqt. 6.6N in Ref.1 where v1 = 0.516
αcw = 1
θ = 45 degrees Adopt a larger value of θ
fcd = 23.33 Mpa

Thus, TRd,max = 2 x 0.516 x 1 x 23 x 134400 x 120 x sin 45 cos 45

= 194.181 kNm

VRd,s = Asw z fywd cotθ/ s

VRd,max = VRd,c + VRd,s = 165 + 1065

TEd/TRd,max + VEd/VRd,max = 156 / 194.181 + 166 / 1230

OK

∴ Capacity of the concrete strut is adequate, no need for increase in the concrete section.
