Design for Torsion and Shear According to ACI-318-99

Concrete properties :
2
f 'c = 350 kg/cm = 4,980 psi ( Cylinders )
2
fy = 4200 kg/cm = 59,740 psi
Ultimate loads : C
Vu = 71 t (Ultimate Shear load at distance d from face of support)
Tu = 1 m.t (Ultimate Torsional moment at distance d from face of support) d t
Concrete dimensions :
bw = 500 mm (Beam width)
t = 1200 mm (Beam thickness)
d = 1150 mm (Beam depth)
c = 40 mm (Clear concrete cover)

Calculations for shear : bw

Vc = 2 fc'  bw  d = 57.1 t Eqn. (11-3)
Vs = Vu / f - Vc = 26.5 t Eqn. (11-2)

2
Av/S = Vs / fy.d = 0.01 cm / mm Eqn.(11-15)
Calculations for torsion and shear :
2
Acp = Area enclosed by outside perimeter of concrete cross section = bw x t = 6000 cm
Pcp = Outside perimeter of concrete cross section …..…...…….…… = 2 x ( bw + t ) = 340 cm
Neglet Torsion as Tu < 0.85 x SQRT(f'c) x Acp^2 / Pcp according to ACI-318, Item (11.6.1)
2
Aoh = Area enclosed by centerline of outermost closed transverse torsional reinforcement= 4704 cm
Ph = Perimeter of centerline of outermost closed transverse torsional reinforcement ..… = 308 cm
2
Ao = Gross area enclosed by shear flow path ; it shall be permitted to be = 0.85 Aoh = 3998.4 cm
