    4 Double Tee Design PDF

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses the double tee beam, a type of precast concrete beam. It notes that double tee beams have a technical advantage over symmetrical beams due to their asymmetrical shape, which positions the centroid higher and results in lower stresses. Double tee beams can span up to 16 meters for car park loading and are typically connected by shear connectors and end ties. The document provides details on double tee beam modules, reinforcement, supports, joints, and interfaces with other structures.

    The double tee section Double Tees usually are provided in a range of depths from 300mmto 800mm
    The 600mm Double Tee can carry 2.5 kN/m2 car park loading to 16m. In countries where car park loading
    is taken as 3kN/m2 and parking spans are up to 20m, a 700mm deep unit can be used

    Double Tees can be made to a 2.4m module or a 3m module to fit


    into an architectural grid. The top flanges can be curtailed easily and
    single tees can be cast

    The Double Tee has a technical


    advantage compared with symmetrical
    sections because of the high centriod
    of the section and the resulting
    difference between Zupper and Zlower

    sl

    For example a 2.4 m wide 600mm deep double tee typically carries car park loading over a span
    of 16m. Its self weight is 7.34kN/m, Car park loading is 6kN/m
    Zu = 54.53 mm3 x 106 Zl = 26.14 mm3 x 106 M = (7.34 + 6)162/8 = 426.88kNm
    su = 436.88/54.53 = 8 N/mm2
    sl = 426.88/26.14 = 16.33 N/mm2
    Thus su is small where it is additive and sl is large where it is subtractive
