Problem 3
Refer to figure RC-3. The girder is subjected to torsional moment from the loads on the cantilever frame. The following factored forces are computed from this beam:
Factored moment, Mu=300kN-m
Factored shear, ,Vu=247kN
Factored torque, Tu=40kN-m
The girder has a width of 400mm and an overall depth of 500mm. Concrete cover is 40mm. The centroid of longitudinal bars of the girder are placed 65mm from the extreme concrete fibers. Concrete strength PC=20.7MPa and steel yield strength for longitudinal hars is fy=415MPa. Use 12mm stirrups with fyt=275MPa.
Determine the spacing (mm) of transverse reinforcement due to Vu alone. Apply provision on spacing limit.138.94mm
Determine the spacing (mm) of transverse reinforcement due to Tu alone.
Problem 3 Refer to figure RC - 3 . The girder is
