CVEN 444 Assignment 13 due 7/16/03

The assignment will be review problems and will not be covered in


class. Use an engineering format and be neat!

1. For a 28-ft simply supported beam (b=16 in. and d=26.5 in) with 8#8
bars (2 layers) and fc =4-ksi and fy = 60-ksi, carrying uniform loads of
wD =1.5 k/ft and wL=3.0 k/ft. Draw the moment capacity envelope if
total of 4-bars are terminated (2 at a time) and calculate theoretical
cutoff locations, actual cutoff locations, development length, moment
capacity of a bar and verify the beam will satisfy the design and meet
ACI standards.

Compute the loading on the beam

The load for a simply supported beam and design for the positive moment of
the beam and 4.8 k/ft

Assume that the tension controlled so that  = 0.9 and 1= 0.85, because fc
=4 ksi

Select 8 # 9 bars, so that As = 8(0.79 in2) = 6.32 in2. Compute the new a and
c values.
Check themin and the beam will meet the condition ACI 10.5.1

Check the  value.

Check to see if the steel is in the tension controlled.

Compute the Mn for the beam

The Mu for the beam and error is


The beam is over-designed by 1.2 %, which is less than 10%. Check to see if
the bars will fit in the beam using 4 bars (#8 with #4 stirrups) per row

and spacing will be 2.67 in. between bars

For both cutoff and splicing on needs to know the development length of the
bars.

Determine the development length for the bars.The bar coefficients are 
(bar placement) = 1.0, (coating)= 1.0, and  (light weight concrete) = 1.0
and #9 bar is db = 1.0 in..

Determine the capacity of 1 bar


So the Mu (1 bar) =81.82k-ft, Mu (2 bars) =163.6 k-ft, Mu (3 bars) =245.4 k-
ft, and Mu (4 bars) =327.3 k-ft. Mu (5 bar) =409.1k-ft, Mu (6 bars) =490.9 k-
ft, Mu (7 bars) =572.7 k-ft, and Mu (8 bars) =654.5 k-ft

Determine the development length and la for the bars. The extension length la
is either 12db=12(1.0 in.) = 12.0 in. or d= 26.5 in. Use la = 26.5 in or 27 in.

Determine where the bar cutoff points meet the moment diagram.. Obtain
the equation for the moment
Set the moment equal to 490.9 k-ft and 327.3 k-ft

The location of the cut off for a two bars are 85 in.-27 in.= 58 in. (4-ft 10 in.)
and will be symmetrical about the centerline. The location for the bars to be
fully developed is 58 in + 48 in. =106 in.(8-ft 10 in.).
The location of the cut off for a 4 bar is 49 in.- 27 in.= 22 in. (1-ft 10 in.) and
The location for the bar to be fully developed is 22 in + 48 in. =70 in.(5-ft 10
in)
2. Design the compression lap splice for a column section 16-in. x 16-in.
reinforce with 8 #10 bars equally spaced around all faces
a. Given fc = 5-ksi and fy =60-ksi
b. Given fc = 7-ksi and fy =80-ksi

(a) #10 bar,  – bar placement =1.0,  – coating, =1.0,  – size of the bar,
=1.0, and  – concrete, = 1.0. and db =1.27 in.

For fy =60 ksi and check to see that it is greater than 12-in.

(b) #10 bar,  – bar placement =1.0,  – coating, =1.0,  – size of the bar,
=1.0, and  – concrete, = 1.0. and db =1.27 in.

For fy =80 ksi and check to see that it is greater than 12-in.
A simply supported uniform loaded beam carries a total factored load of
4.8 k/ft (this includes the beam weight) on a clear span of 34-ft, fc =3-
ksi and fy = 40-ksi. Assume that the supports are 12-in wide and assume
the bars are available in 30-ft lengths
c. Design a rectangular beam (tension steel only)
d. Determine bar cutoffs.
e. Locate splices and determine lap length.
The load for a simply supported beam and design for the positive moment of
the beam and 4.8 k/ft

Assume that the tension controlled so that  = 0.9 Assume a k=0.25 and
1= 0.85, because fc =3 ksi so that k’ = 1*k = 0.85*(0.250) =0.2125

You can use various k value to design the beam as long as k < 0.375 Find
bd2 from b= 0.55 d
Assume that b= 0.55 d and solve for d

and
b= 0.55(32.94 in.) = 17.94 in.

Use d =32.5 in and b = 18.in.

The dimensions and maximum moment have been determined. Assume that
k’ = 0.2125 and a = k’d= 0.2125*(32.5 in.) = 6.906 in. and compute the
amount of steel needed.

Select 8 # 9 bars, so that As = 8(1.00 in2) = 8.00 in2. Compute the new a and
c values.
Check themin and the beam will meet the condition ACI 10.5.1

Check the  value.

Check to see if the steel is in the tension controlled.

Compute the Mn for the beam

The Mu for the beam and error is


The beam is over-designed by 0.39 %, which is less than 10%. Check to see
if the bars will fit in the beam using 4 bars (#9 with #4 stirrups) per row

and spacing will be 3.16 in. between bars. So you could have bars next to
one another for splicing.

For both cutoff and splicing on needs to know the development length of the
bars.

Determine the development length for the bars.The bar coefficients are 
(bar placement) = 1.0, (coating)= 1.0, and  (light weight concrete) = 1.0
and #9 bar is db = 1.128 in..

Determine the capacity of 1 bar


So the Mu (1 bar) =87.04k-ft, Mu (2 bars) =174.1 k-ft, Mu (3 bars) =261.2 k-
ft, and Mu (4 bars) =348.2 k-ft. Mu (5 bar) =435.2k-ft, Mu (6 bars)
=522.4 k-ft, Mu (7 bars) =609.3 k-ft, and Mu (8 bars) =696.3 k-ft

Determine the development length and la for the bars. The extension length
la is either 12db=12(1.127 in.) = 13.52 in. or d= 32.5 in. Use la = 32.5 in or 33
in.

Determine where the bar cutoff points meet the moment diagram.. Obtain
the equation for the moment
Set the moment equal to 552.4 k-ft and 348.3 k-ft

The location of the cut off for a single bar is 102 in.- 33 in.= 69 in. (5-ft 9
in.) and 306- in +33 in. = 339 in. (28.ft 3 in.) with a bar length of 22 ft. The
location for the bar to be fully developed is 69 in + 42 in. =111 in. and 339
in. – 42 in. = 297 in.
The location of the cut off for a 4 bar is 60 in.- 33 in.= 27 in. (2-ft 3 in.) and
348- in +33 in. = 381 in. (31.ft 9 in.) with a bar length of 29.5 ft. The
location for the bar to be fully developed is 27 in + 42 in. =69 in. and 381 in.
– 42 in. = 339 in.

For lap splice to be a Class A splice in tension, the area ratio must be twice
be twice that of the required area. The cut-off of the 2 bars from 6 to 4 bars,
have a total length of 29.5 ft, so no splice on the bars were need. The
remaining 4 bars can be 30 ft long with an overlap of ld or 42 in., there is a
space of 24 in on either side of the bar for the full 34 ft. so the lengths of the
added bars are 24 in + 42 in. = 66 in. with splice length = 42 in.
