For the upper 2H25 bars:

c1 =60 12.5 = 47.5 mm
c = 50 + 47.5 = 97.5
a = 250 2x47.5 2x25 = 105 mm
d for 5H25 = 500 80 = 420 mm

759 kN 952 kN
T=270x103/(0.9x420)+0.5x90=759 kN
At support:
M = 0 kNm; V=180kN ; T=0.5x180=90 kN

(b) Assume good bond, fbd = 0.315fck2/3 = 0.315x352/3 = 3.37 N/mm2

cd = min (a/2, c1, c) = min (105/2, 47.5, 97.5) = 47.5 mm < 3 = 75 mm
1 = 1.0 ; 2 = 1 0.15(cd - )/ = 1 0.15(47.5 -25)/25 = 0.865 < 1
b,rqd = [500/(4.6x3.37)]x25 =806 mm
As,req = 952x103/(500/1.15) = 2190 mm2; As,prov = 2450 mm2
bd = 1.0 x 0.865 x 806x(2190/2450) = 623 mm > 0.3b,rqd = 242 mm
> 10 = 250 mm
Force provided by 3H25, T = 3x490x(500/1.15)x10-3 = 640 kN
Equating T = (180x 22.5x2)/(0.9x0.42)+ 0.5(180 45x) where x < 4 m gives
59.5x2 453.7x +550 = 0 from which x = 1.512 m.
the upper 2H25 bars can be curtailed at 1.512 0.623 0.84 m from the
centre of support.
(c) = 2450/(575x420) = 0.010 > 0 = 10-335 = 0.00592 ; = 0 ; K = 1
/d = 1x[11 + 1.535x0.00592/0.010] = 16.2
To be modified by:
310/s = As,prov / As,req = 2450/2190 = 1.12
Flange breadth/web breadth = 575/250 = 2.3
allowable /d = 16.2 x 1.12 x [1 0.2x(2.3 1)/(3 1)] = 15.8
< actual /d = 8000/420 = 19.0 ; hence not satisfactory
