From above table, it has been clearly derived that for the height above 12 meter, panel reinforcement required is 8 mm dia @150 mm c/c in both direction.
Panel dimension: (for 12.0 meter height of design)

Sample calculation:

Maximum Bending Moment is 7.616 KN-m/m

Calculation for Width of panel = 1000 mm

Effective depth of panel = 90 mm

Depth of panel required,

BM = 0.138 x σck x b x d2

7.616 𝑋 1 𝑋 10
𝑑 . =
1000 𝑋 0.138 𝑋 35

= 39.710 mm < 90 mm (For Moment at End)

Hence OK.
Panel Steel required,

Bending Moment (Annex-G-1.1, IS 456)

7.616 x 106 = 0.87 𝑋 500 𝑋𝐴 (90 − )

𝐴 = 200.95 mm2 (Requirement for Maximum factored bending moment)

Provided 8 mm ∅ @ 150 mm c/c = 351 mm2/m, which is greater than required

Hence OK.

Please find below the reinforcement layout for panel:

Calculation for connection: (10mm Tie hooks)

A) Tensile stress in each leg of Tie hook:

Ultimate Tensile strength of Geogrid = 3000 kN/m with strip width of 250mm

(LTDS of 250mm width of strip, i.e. {(300/4*1.57*1.15*1.05)} = 39.56KN)

Maximum tension in each grid 250mm wide = 39.56/ 1.5 = 26.37 KN (For 300 kN/m Tensile strength
Geogrid of 250mm width); where in 1.5 is to consider actual load on connector.

For double strip total tension = 2 X 26.37 = 52.75

Considering total No of legs are 2x 3= 6 Nos.

Tension in each leg = 52.75 /6 = 8.79 KN.

Sacrificial cross-sectional area of 10 mm dia rod = 10 – (2 x 0.75) = 8.5 mm

Net cross-sectional area = 𝑋 8.5 = 56.75 mm2

Allowable tensile strength = 0.6 x fy = 0.6 x 500 = 300 N/ mm2

Allowable tension on each Leg = (56.75 x 300) / 1000

= 17.023 KN > 8.79 KN

Hence, OK.

B) Shear Force in Loop leg:

Shear force = Tension in each leg = 8.79 KN

Net Cross-sectional area = 56.75 mm2

Allowable shear force in each leg = 56.75 x 0.45 x 500 / (1000)

= 12.77 KN > 8.79 KN

Hence, OK.
C) Development Length for Tie hook:

As per IS: 456, Clause 26.2, Development Length is given as

Where,

∅ = Nominal diameter of the bar = 10mm

𝜎s = Stress in bar at the section considered in the design load

𝜏bd= Design bond stress = 1.7 (M35) (as per Table 26.2.1.1 of IS: 456)

Therefore, 𝜏 = 1.7 N/mm2

.
Tension in Leg = = 8.79 𝐾𝑁 = 8790 𝑁

Therefore 𝜎 = = 111.92 𝑁/𝑚𝑚

.

Development Length required,

.
𝐿 = = 165 𝑚𝑚
.

Provided full length of zig zag connection, hence the total resistance length is much more than above.

Diagram:

Tie hooks – 10mm dia (TMT 500) Connector (Toggle) -16mm dia. (MS Bar)

(Total Length L=490mm) (Total Length L = 320mm)

CHECK FOR PANEL REINFORCEMENT AT THE TIME OF LIFTING

Considering the lifting hook position, span has been considered as below:

Panel dimension: (lifting hook position)

0.18m thick panels

0.4m 0.8m 0.4m

Calculation:

Unit Weight of panel: 25 KN/cum

UDL for the width of the panel = 25 x 0.18 = 4.5 KN/m

For Limit state approach UDL = 4.5 *1.5 =6.75 KN-m/m

Span considered for Cantilever moment = 0.4 meter

Maximum Cantilever Bending Moment = WL2 / 2 = 0.54 KN-m/m

Effective depth of panel = (180-90) mm = 90mm

Strength of concrete required to lift the panel,

BM = 0.138 x σck x b x d2

0.54 x 106 = 0.138 x σck x 1000 x 902

σck = 0.48 N/mm2 ; Considered minimum of 1 N/mm2

Hence Ok.

Panel Steel required,

Bending Moment = 0.87 𝑋 𝜎 𝑋 𝐴 (𝑑 − ) (Annex-G-1.1, IS 456)

0.54 x 106 = = 0.87 𝑋 500 𝑋 𝐴 (120 − )

At < 10 mm2

Provided 8 ∅ @ 150 mm c/c – both ways = 350mm2/m, which is greater than required.

Hence OK.
