    Example 1: Member with pure torsion

    Determine the maximum torque which can be applied to


    the member of Fig. E1 given that 𝑓𝑐𝑘 = 30 N/mm2, the
    yield strength for the longitudinal reinforcement is
    𝑓𝑦 = 460 N/mm2 and the yield strength for the stirrup
    reinforcement is 𝑓𝑦 = 250 N/mm2.

    𝑓𝑦𝑘 = 250 𝑀𝑝𝑎 & 𝑓𝑦𝑑 = = = 217.39 𝑀𝑝𝑎
    1.15 1.15 2
    Step 2: Determine the Torsional Resistance (T):
    The total area of longitudinal reinforcement available to
    resist torsion is:
    𝜋 ∗ 162
    𝐴𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔 = 4 = 804 𝑚𝑚2
    4
    From Fig. Example 1, the dimensions of the analogous thin
    walled section are:

    𝐴𝑔 350 ∗ 600
    𝑡= = = 110 𝑚𝑚
    𝑈 2 350 + 600
    𝑥𝑜 = 350 − 𝑡 = 350 − 110 = 240 𝑚𝑚
    𝑦𝑜 = 600 − 𝑡 = 600 − 110 = 490 𝑚𝑚
    3
    Hence assuming a compression strut angle of 45°,
    equation (6.14)
    𝑥𝑜 𝑦𝑜 (𝑓𝑦 /𝛾𝑠 )
    𝑇 = 𝐴𝑙𝑜𝑛𝑔
    𝑥𝑜 + 𝑦𝑜 cot 𝜃
    (840)(240)(490)(460/1.15)
    𝑇= = 52 𝑘𝑁𝑚
    240 + 490 1
    Similarly, equation (6.10) gives the torsional capacity as
    dictated by the area of stirrup reinforcement. The label
    ‘R10’ indicates a 10 mm diameter mild steel stirrup with a
    characteristic yield strength of fy = 250 N/mm2
    The area of one leg is:
    𝜋 ∗ 102
    𝑎𝑉 = = 78.5 𝑚𝑚2

    2 240 490 1 250
    𝑇= 78.5 = 26.758 𝑘𝑁𝑚
    150 1.15
    The effectiveness factor for torsion is, from equation (17):
    𝑓𝑐𝑘 24
    0.7 0.7 − = 0.7 0.7 − = 0.385
    𝜈≥ 200 200
    0.35
    Hence the torque that would cause crushing of the
    compression struts is, from equation (16)
    2𝑥𝑜 𝑦𝑜 𝑡(sin 𝜃)(cos 𝜃)𝜈𝑓𝑐𝑘
    𝑇𝑤 =
    𝛾𝑐
    5
    2(240)(490)(110)(1/ 2)(1/ 2)(0.385)(30)
    𝑇𝑤 =
    1.5
    𝑇𝑤 = 99607200 𝑁𝑚𝑚
    𝑇𝑤 = 100 𝑘𝑁𝑚

    Thus, with a compression strut inclined at an angle of 45°,


    the torsion capacity is governed by the area of stirrup
    reinforcement. However, the strut inclination angles can
    have any value in the range 22° ≤ 𝜃 ≤ 68° . Hence, cot
    𝜃 can vary in the range 2.5 ≥ 𝜃 ≥ 0.4 . By trial and error (or
    by equating the two equations for T), an optimum value for
    cot 𝜃 can be found. Taking cot 𝜃 =1.4 ( 𝜃 =36°), the
    longitudinal reinforcement dictates a torsional capacity of 37
    kNm and the stirrup reinforcement dictates a capacity of 38
    kNm. The corresponding value for Tw is 94 kNm. It can
    therefore be concluded that this beam has the capacity to
    resist torsion of 37 kNm. 6
    Example 2: Torsion –RC Beams
    Design a rectangular section of 300mm*600mm overall dimension
    for torsion. The design torsion to be resisted is 26kNm. Materials to
    be used are C-25 and S-300 steel.
