Input:
h = 120 mm
Clear cover = 25 mm fy = 420 MPa
d = 90 mm fc' = 45 MPa Normal weight concrete λ = 1
av = 85 mm fyt = 420 MPa
h1 = 120 mm h1 min. = 0.5d, Clause 11.8.2
bw = 1000 mm
Vu = 140 KN
Nuc = 32 KN Nuc min. = 0.2 Vu, Clause 11.8.3.4
𝑴_𝒖 = 𝑽_𝒖 𝒂_(𝒗 )+ 𝑵_𝒖𝒄 ("h-d" =

𝑨_𝒗𝒇=𝑽_𝒖/( 〖𝜙𝒇〗 _𝒚𝒕 𝝁)
𝝁= 1 Clause 11.6.4.3 = 444 mm2 Clause 11.6.4.1

2- Calculation of Moment reinforcement Af

∴𝑨_𝒇=𝑴_𝒖/(𝜙 𝒇_𝒚 "0.9d" )
𝑴_𝒖 = 𝜙𝑴_𝒏 = 𝜙 𝑨_𝒇 𝒇_𝒚(d - 𝒂/𝟐 ) ≈ 𝜙 𝑨_𝒇 𝒇_𝒚(0.9d) = 502 mm2 Clause 11.8.3.3

3- Calculation of Tensile force reinforcement An

5- Calculation of Shear horizontal tie reinforcement Ah

𝑨_𝒉 = 0.5 (𝑨_𝑺𝒄 〖 − 𝑨〗=_𝒏 251) mm2 Clause 11.8.4

Use 2 Row T 10 Stirrups with 2 branches

Distribute Ah uniformly within (2/3)d adjacent to primary tension reinforcement, Clause 11.8.4 & Fig. R11.8.2
6- Check of Concrete bearing strength Pnb

𝐴_𝑓=(0.85𝑏_𝑤 𝑑𝑓_𝑐^′ (1−√(1 − 〖 4𝑀 〗 _𝑢/(𝜙1.7𝑓_𝑐^′ 𝑏_𝑤 𝑑^2 ))))/𝑓_𝑦
is the simplified form of 𝑀_𝑢 = 𝜙𝑀_𝑛 = 𝜙 𝐴_𝑓 𝑓_𝑦(d - 𝑎/2 )

𝑀_𝑢= 𝜙 𝐴_𝑓 𝑓_𝑦(d - 𝑎/2 )

where a is calculated from

T=C
𝐴_𝑓 𝑓_𝑦= 0.85𝑏_𝑤 𝑎𝑓_𝑐^′
𝑎 = (𝐴_𝑓 𝑓_𝑦)/(0.85𝑏_𝑤 𝑓_𝑐^′ )

∴ 𝑀_𝑢= 𝜙 𝐴_𝑓 𝑓_𝑦( d - (𝐴_𝑓 𝑓_𝑦)/(1.7𝑏_𝑤 𝑓_𝑐^′ )
