Please do the problem below
In designing the reinforcement steel for Joint Reinforced Concrete Pavement (JRCP), the following specifications are given:
Portland Concrete
Density: 2,400kgm3
Coefficient of Thermal Expansion: 110-5cmcmC
Drying shrinkage coefficient: 310-4
Steel reinforcing concrete
Sizes of main bars that can be chosen: 10,12,16,20,25,28,32 millimeters
Yield Strength: 4,000kgcm2
Road with 4 traffic lanes
Has tie bars for connecting the 4 traffic lanes together
Traffic lane width: 3.5 meters (joint spacing)
Concrete slab thickness: 25 centimeters
Maximum allowable temperature change: 45C(T)
Use granular subbase (supportive layer beneath the pavement)
a) If the maximum joint opening of the contraction joint does not exceed 1.5mm, dowel bars are not required. In cases where the joint opening is greater than 1.5mm but does not exceed 6.5mm, dowel bars should be used at intervals as specified in the design.
b) From point (a), when dowel bars are required, the arrangement and spacing of the longitudinal reinforcement bars and tie bars should be considered. The calculations for the reinforcement steel distribution in the traffic lanes should be shown. Additionally, provide a plan sketch showing the details of the reinforcement steel in the pavement and tie bars.
