SADS 16 has been updated to comply with the Code of Practice for Structural Use of Concrete 2013. Key changes include: 1) Updates to the beam, column, wall and beam-column joint design modules. 2) Additional requirements for dead and imposed loads, reinforcement grades, cantilever design approach, and critical zones. 3) Changes to the batch data to select crack width checking and whether cantilevers can be removed.

Introduction of SADS 16 1

1 Introduction of SADS 16
1.1 Overview
SADS 16 is developed according with Code of Practice for Structural Use of Concrete 2013. All
Core Programs -- BEAM-2013, COLUMN-2013 and WALL-2013 -- are changed to meet the
requirement of CoP 2013. All Core Programs are submitted to BD for approval. Other modules --
slab module, beam-column joint module, lintel beam module, etc. -- are changed also to meet the
requirement of CoP 2013.

1.2 General Requirement.


The following requirements are added.
1. Clause 1.2: The dead load and imposed load sued in SADS are met the requirement of Code
of Practice for Dead and Imposed Loads 2011.
2. Clause 3.2.1: The ribbed steel reinforcing bars is in grade 500B and grade 500C.

1.3 Beam Design


The following changes are applied to beam design.

Clause 6.1.2.4 (c):


When
d' 2.175 ´10 -3
> 1-
x e cu ,
the compression stress should be calculated from figure 3.9.

Clause 9.4.4:
Cantilevered structures, especially those projecting over streets, should be detailed in such a
manner that they may be demolished or replaced without affecting the safety and integrity of the
main structure of the building.
For example, one continuous beam with cantilever at both ends should be analyzed in following 4
cases.
· Continuous without cantilever.
· Continuous with cantilever at both ends.
· Continuous with cantilever at left end only.
· Continuous with cantilever at right end only.
The output moment and shear envelop is taken from the worst case in 4 cases. The reinforcement
is calculated from the worst envelops.

Clause 9.9.1.1:
The extent of critical zone of beam is taken from the column face over a length to 2 times the
beam depth.

Clause 9.9.1.1(a):
The centre to centre of stirrups along beam span shall not exceed:
1. Inside the critical zone: the larger of 150mm or 8 times the longitudinal bar diameter.
2. Outside the critical zone: the smaller of least lateral dimension of cross section of beam or
12 times the longitudinal bar diameter.
Within critical zone, the spacing between stirrup legs across any section shall not exceed the
smaller of 20 times the diameter of stirrup or 250mm.

1.4 Column Dsign


The following changes are applied to column design.

Clause 9.9.2.1 (d):


For laps and type 1 mechanical couplers in a column, the centre of the lap or coupler must be
within the middle half of the storey height of the column

Clause 9.9.2.2:
1. Add 1/6 column clear height requirement for calculating critical zone of column.
2. Increase the minimum diameter of links to 10mm.
3. For rectangle column, centre to centre spacing of links shall not exceed 8 times the
longitudinal bar diameter and 150mm.
4. For circular column, centre to centre spacing of links shall not exceed 8 times the
longitudinal bar diameter and 150mm.
5. Remove the requirement of the minimum spacing of ?of lateral dimension.

1.5 Wall Design


The following changes are applied to wall design.

Clause 9.9.3.3:
Add the calculation of axial compression ratio:
N
N cr =
0.45 f cu Ac
Where:
N = 1.4Gk+1.6Qk
fcu – is the characteristic strength of concrete
Ac – is the gross area of concrete section

1.6 Beam-column Joint Design


The following requirements are applied to beam-column joint design.

Clause 6.8.1.2: The application of design force on a column beam joint is clarified as in the
following diagrams. In the diagrams, AsL, AsR are the provided reinforcement areas and zR is the
lever arm of the beam at the right. TL induced is assumed to be stronger than TR. So they should
be reversed if TR is stronger instead.

Introduction of SADS 16 3

Clause 6.8.1.5:
1. Adding a coefficient 0.8 to Ag in the denominator of equation 9.72 as the original provision is
from the New Zealand Code using fc’;
2. Clarifying that Cj = 1 if the joint has beam in only one direction;
3. Clarifying that Cj = 1 if N is negative, i.e. column in tension.

1.7 Change in Batch Data


We add "Can Remove Cantilever" check box for batch data of beam with cantilever.

If you check this check box, SADS will perform beam analysis and design according Clause 9.4.4
of CoP 2013. If you are sure that this cantilever is never removed, you may un-check this check
box.

1.8 Changes in Beam Data


We change the Exposure Class in beam data to include the 0.3 mm maximum crack width.

The exposure class has 5 items.


1. N/A -- No crack checking is needed.
2. 0.1 mm -- The maximum crack width is 0.1 mm.
3. 0.2 mm -- The maximum crack width is 0.2 mm.
4. 0.3 mm -- The maximum crack width is 0.3 mm.
5. E.W. -- Exposure to watering cantilever beam.
