Part plan of floor showing location of construction joint
Thickness of wall 300 mm
Thickness of slab d = 200 mm
2. Design loads and analysis :
factored shear stress at construction joint v = 0.7 Mpa Staad out-put Factored shear force Vu = v*d = 140 kN/m Grade of concrete fc' = 45 Mpa Grade of reinforcements fy = 420 Mpa Clear cover to reinforcements c = 30 mm Diameter of reinforcements (provided as U bars) = 12 mm Spacing of rebars S = 150 mm Minimum effective depth for bottom rebar de = d-c-0.5* = 164 mm Co-efficient of friction () for shear friction calculation = 0.60 Table 22.9.4.2 of ACI Area of shear friction reinforcements (Avf)=*0.25*2*(1000/S) = 318-14 754 mm2/m Nominal shear strength across assumed shear plane Vn=*Avf*fy= 190 kN/m Eqn. 22.9.4.2 Strength reduction factor = 0.80 Table 27.3.2.1 * Vn = 152 kN/m Okay
