CIV3506 2022 Assign2 Exemplary2

This document outlines the tasks and requirements for Assignment 2 in the course CIV3506 – Concrete Structures. It includes three main tasks: 1) designing a two-way reinforced concrete slab, 2) analyzing the behavior of a reinforced concrete column under different loading conditions, and 3) designing a prestressed concrete beam. The tasks involve calculating load capacities, reinforcement requirements, moment-axial load interactions, and checking designs against code requirements. Completing the tasks will involve using concepts learned in previous course topics on concrete slabs, columns, and prestressed beams.

Task 1: Two-Way RC Slab Design (80 Marks)

An internal 2nd level floor system of an industrial building (subject to repeated wetting and
drying) is composed of a concrete slab cast monolithically with stiff beams 300 mm wide whose
centrelines are on the grid shown in Figure 1. Reinforced concrete density is 24 kN/m3 . Note the
following specified conditions of service.

Location: Darwin, NT (near coastal)

Construction: Standard formwork and compaction

(i) Determine the minimum effective slab thickness, concrete strength and reinforcement
cover to satisfy durability and 120-minute fire resistance requirements.

Given:

 Internal 2nd level floor system


 Industrial building (subject to repeated wetting and drying)
 Location: Darwin, NT (near coastal)
 Construction: Standard formwork and compaction
 Concrete Strength: 40 MPa
 Width, b = 300mm
 Reinforced Concrete Density = 24 kN/m3

Climatic Zone = Tropical [Figure 4.3 AS3600:2018]

2
Exposure Classification = B1 [Table 4.3 AS3600:2018]

Minimum Cover = 30mm [Table 4.10.3.2]

3
Effective Slab Thickness = 120mm [Table 5.5.1 AS3600:2018]

Axis distance (as) when FRP is 120min = 20mm [Table 5.5.2(B) AS3600:2018]

30mm of Cover will be used to satisfy all requirements.

4
(ii) Identify the edge-conditions of the different slabs and identify the most critical slab in
the system that needs to be designed. Explain briefly on why the selected slab is the
most critical.

5
Slabs 7 & 8 are the most critical slabs. They have an edge condition of three discontinuous edges
with one long continuous edge. This means that out of the structure, this slab has the most critical
deflection (lowest K4 value) and highest bending moment coefficients. This is demonstrated in the
two tables below. Note: Interpolation was used to calculate the below values.

(iii) Determine the minimum slab thickness to satisfy total and incremental deflections.

(iv) Design the reinforcement for the most critical slab (Use N12 bars throughout). Sketch
the reinforcement details for this slab.

Task 2: Beam Column Section (75 Marks)

A square column symmetrically reinforced with 12 – N20 bars is shown in Figure 2.a. Determine
the following:

i) Squash load φNuo:

ii) Nu and Mu about the major axis for the neutral axis depth (dn) values of do, 0.8do,
0.545do, 0.4do, and 0.2do, where do is the distance from the top concrete fibre in
compression to the centroid of the bottom reinforcement in tension.

iii) Use the values obtained in (ii) to develop the beam column interaction (Mu and Nu)
diagram for the column.

Kuo ꚙ 1.0 0.8 0.545 0.4 0.2


φNu (kN) 4609.3 2888.54 2224.6 1159.5 686.9 -317.3
φMu (kN-m) 0 163.5 204.6 239.7 242.4 188.9

21
iv) If the column is braced, has a length, L (Figure 2.b), and is required to carry N * =
0.40Nuo kN, what is the value of M* 2 that could be carried by the column
considering the slenderness effect? Assume that G/(G+Q) = 0.35.

22
v) Check if the column is adequate to carry N*= 0.60Nuo kN and bending moments, i.e.
M*x=M*y of 0.70Mub in both directions. If the column is inadequate for bi-axial
bending and axial compression, suggest at least three (3) approaches on how this issue
can be rectified

23
This issue can by rectified by following the three ways listed below:

1. Reduce Bending Moments or Actual Force (N*).


2. Increase the dimensions of the column
3. Add more reinforcement.

24
vi) Design the bar diameter and spacing of the lateral reinforcement for this column.

Referring to Cl 10.7.4 & 10.7.4.3 AS3600:2018:

When column has 20mm longitudinal bars or less, the minimum bar diameter for ties is 6mm.

Spacing:

Task 3: Prestressed Beam (75 Marks)

A prestressed concrete beam is simply supported over a span of L shown in Figure 3.a and has the
cross section at mid span as shown in Figure 3.b. Determine the following:

i) Maximum initial prestress at transfer that can be applied at the mid span to satisfy the
code requirement (Assume f’cp as 0.80f’c)

26
27
ii) Minimum effective prestress required at the mid span when the beam is fully loaded
at service.

28
iii) From (i) and (ii), the optimum initial prestress [Pi] that can be applied at the mid span.
Assume total loss as 10%.

a) The jacking force at the end of the beam assuming that prestressing is applied from both
end and the friction force between mid span and end is 5%.

29
b) Required number of 12.7 mm diameter 7-wire ordinary strands to effectively apply the
required jacking force.

Referring to Table 3.3.1 AS3600:2018

30
iv) Determine the ultimate moment capacity of this beam and identify whether it satisfies
the strength requirement. At the limit state strength condition, the beam should
satisfy the requirement M* < Mu (where M* is calculated for the strength limit state
load 1.2g + 1.5q).

31
32
v) If the beam was accidentally placed upside down after the application of the initial
prestress, determine the stresses at the top and bottom at the midspan of the beam.
Comment whether this operation will cause any damage to the beam.

This operation as proven above will cause some damage to the beam e.g. cracks.
