    This document provides two examples of determining the main reinforcements in reinforced concrete T-sections. In the first example, the ultimate moment of resistance of a given T-section is calculated. In the second example, the stress block and required tension reinforcement is designed for a T-section to resist an ultimate design moment of 180 kNm using grade 30 concrete and HYS bars. It is determined that compression reinforcement is not required and the required tension reinforcement is calculated to be 1538 mm2.

    DESIGN EXAMPLES – DETERMINATION OF MAIN

    REINFORCEMENTS IN FLANGED SECTIONS (T-SECTIONS)

    EXAMPLE 1
    Determine the ultimate moment of resistance of the reinforced concrete T-section
    with the following design data.

    Data
    Flange width 800 mm
    Flange width 150 mm
    Effective depth 420 mm
    Area of tension steel 1470 mm2
    Characteristic strength of steel 460 N/mm2
    Characteristic strength of concrete 30 N/mm2

    SOLUTION

    If no resultant axial force on section

    Fcc  Fst  0.45 f cu b f s  0.87 f y As

    0.87 f y As 0.87  460  1470


     s   54.47 mm
    0.45 f cu b f 0.45  30  800

    h f  150 mm; s  54.47 mm

    Hence s  h f therefore the stress block lies within the flange.

    -1-
    s 54.47
    x   60.52 mm
    0.9 0.9


    z ds
    2    420  54.47 2   373mm

    Taking moment about the cenriod of reinforcement gives:

    M  Fcc  z  0.45 f cu b f  s  z  0.45  30  800  54.47  393 106

     M  231 kNm

    EXAMPLE 2
    A reinforced concrete T-section with design data given below is to be designed
    with an ultimate design moment of 180 kNm. If a grade 30 concrete and a HYS
    bars are used;
    a) Determine the true nature of the stress block
    b) Design the main tension reinforcement.

    SOLUTION

    Since the design moment is given, the moment of the flange has to be
    determined.

     h   100  6
    M f  Fcf  z1  0.45 f cu h f b f  d  f   0.45  30 100   350   10
     2   2 

     M f  162 kNm

    Therefore, M f  M u . Hence the stress block must extend below the flange.

    -2-
    2. Determination to what extend does the stress block goes into the web

    Using the stress block, and from equilibrium,

    M  Fc 2  z2  Fc1  z1  M f  Fc1  z1  162  0.45 f cu bw sw  z1

     s   s 
    but z1   d  h f  w    350  100  w 
     2  2

     s 
     180  162  0.45  30  200sw  250  w   106
     2

     s 
     180  162  2700sw  250  w   106
     2

    This will give a quadratic equation in terms of sw . Solving will give: sw  28 mm

     s  (h f  sw )  100  28   128 mm

    s 128
     x   142 mm
    0.9 0.9

    d 350
    but   175 mm
    2 2

    Hence x  d ; therefore COMPRESSION REINFORCEMENT NOT


    2
    REQUIRED.

    -3-
    From the equilibrium of the section

    Fst  Fc 2  Fc1  0.87 f y As  0.45 f cu b f h f  0.45 f cu bw sw

    0.45 f cu b f h f  0.45 f cu bw sw 0.45  30  400 100  0.45  30  200  28


     As  
    0.87 f y 0.87  460

     As  1538 mm 2

    Alternatively, using equation (1) for tension reinforcement

    M  0.1 f cu bw d  0.45d  h f  180  106  0.1 30  200  350  0.45  350  100 
    As  
     h 
    0.87 f y  d  f  
    0.87  460 350  100
    2 
     2 

     As  1599 mm 2

    This compared with earlier value does not vary much.

    Note:

    Equation (1) can only be used when only after confirming that compression
    reinforcement is not required. This can be done by checking if “Moment of
    resistance of concrete is greater than Design moment”
