Structure dimensions :

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
