1. Determine shear strength provided by concrete

f Vc = f (2 `f'c bd)
f = 0.85 Strength reduction factor as defined in 9.3
f Vc = 0.85 (2) (`3,000) (3.625) (5.8125) = 1,962 lbs
Shear reinforcement is required if the factored shear force Vu exceeds one-half of the
shear strength provided by the concrete.
Vu > .5 f Vc
Vu = .5 (1,962) = 981 lbs
2. Determine the shear force based on factored uniformly distributed load.
Vn = 1/2 WuL2
Vn = (.5) (210) (112 / 12) = 980 lbs
OK

Vu > Vn

3. Determine maximum bending moment governed by ultimate strength.

Mu = f (As )(fy)(d-a/2)
f = 0.90 Strength reduction factor as defined in 9.3
a = (As ) (Fy ) / 0.85 (f'c) (b)
a = (0 .31) (60,000) / (0.85) (3,000) (3.625) = 2.012 in
Mu = (0.90) (0.31) (60,000) (5.8125 -1.006 ) = 80,461 in-lbs
Mu = 6,705 ft-lbs
4. Determine the bending moment based on factored uniformly distributed load.
Mn = 1/8 Wu (L2)2
Mn = 1/8 (210) (112 / 12)2 = 2,289 ft-lbs
OK

Mu > M n

5. Check code limit on reinforcement.

r = As / b d = (.31) / (3.625) (5.8125) = .0147
rmin = 200 / fy = 200 / 60,000 = .0033
rbal = [0.85 f'c/fy] b1 [ 87,000 / (87,000 + fy)]
b1 = 0.85 Factor as defined in 10.2.7.3
rbal = [(0.85) (3,000) / (60,000)] 0.85 [ 87,000 / (87,000 + 60,000)] = .0214
rmax = 0.75 rbal = (0.75) (.0214) = .0161
OK rmin < r < rmax

6. Determine maximum deflection

f r = 7.5 `f'c = 7.5`3,000 = 411 psi
Ec = W c1.5 33 `f'c = (145)1.5 33 `3000 = 3,155,924 psi
ns = Es / Ec = 29,000,000 / 3,155,924 = 9.2
3

Ig = bh / 12 = (3.625) (7.625) / 12 = 134 in

B = b / (ns As) = (3.625) / (9.2) (.31) = 1.27 in

kd = ( `2dB+1 -1) / B = ( `(2)(5.8125)(1.27)+1 -1) / 1.27 = 2.34 in

Icr = b (kd) / 3 + ns As (d - kd) = (3.625) (2.34) / 3 + (9.2)(0.31) [(5.8125 - 2.34) ] = 50 in

Mcr = fr Ig / yt = (411)(134) / (3.8125) = 14445 in-lbs
Mcr = 1,204 ft-lbs
Ma is the maximum service load moment (unfactored) at the stage for which deflections
are being considered. Since Ma cannot be computed without knowing the dead load
2

and live load moments, a conservative assumption will be made. Ma = 1/8 (Wu/1.55)L
Ma = 1 / 8 (210 / 1.55)(112 / 12)2 = 1,475 ft-lbs
Since Ma > Mcr Calculate Ie
Ie = (Mcr / Ma)3 Ig + [1- (Mcr / Ma)3 Icr]
(Mcr / Ma)3 = (1,204 / 1475)3 = 0.5439
4

Ie = (0.5439)(134) + [1 - (0.5439)] (50) = 96 in

Initial or Short-Term Deflection, D i
Di = (5 / 48) Ma L2 / Ec Ie

Di = (5 / 48) (1,475)(12) (112)2 / (3,155,924) (96) = 0.0763 in

Long-Term Deflection, D iLong
DiLong = KDi
K=2

Long-Term Deflection Factor as defined in 9.5.2.5

DiLong = 2 (0.0763) = 0.1526 in

7. Determine maximum allowable deflection
Dmax = Maximum allowable deflection = L2 / 600
Dmax = 112 / 600 = 0.1867 in
OK Dmax = > DiLong
Minimum thickness stipulated in Table 9.5.
hmin = L / 16 = 122 / 16 = 7.0 in
h = 7.625 in
OK h > hmin
