Lec10 Bond and Development Length (Reinforced Concrete Design I & Prof. Abdel...Hossam Shafiq II
This document discusses bond and development length in reinforced concrete. It defines bond as the adhesion between concrete and steel reinforcement, which is necessary to develop their composite action. Bond is achieved through chemical adhesion, friction from deformed bar ribs, and bearing. Development length refers to the minimum embedment length of a reinforcement bar needed to develop its yield strength by bonding to the surrounding concrete. The development length depends on factors like bar size, concrete strength, bar location, and transverse reinforcement. It also provides equations from design codes to calculate the development length for tension bars, compression bars, bundled bars, and welded wire fabric. Hooked bars can be used when full development length is not available, and the document discusses requirements for standard hook geome
CE 72.52 Lecture 4 - Ductility of Cross-sectionsFawad Najam
This document provides information on ductility of concrete structures. It discusses how ductility is key to good seismic performance of structures. Ductility is defined and different levels of ductility are described, from the material level to the structural level. Factors that affect ductility include confinement of concrete, reinforcement, cross-section shape, and applied loads. Moment-curvature relationships are used to compute ductility at the cross-section level. Confinement improves concrete ductility by modifying its stress-strain behavior. Spiral reinforcement increases concrete strength under triaxial compression. Moment-curvature curves can indicate yield points and failure mechanisms for different types of sections.
The document provides an overview of prestressed concrete structures including:
- Definitions of prestressing where internal stresses counteract external loads.
- The key terminology used including tendons, anchorage, pretensioning vs post-tensioning.
- The materials used including cement, concrete, and steel types.
- The stages of loading and advantages of prestressing over reinforced concrete.
- Details of pretensioning and post-tensioning systems including equipment, processes, and differences between the two methods.
This document discusses ductile detailing of reinforced concrete (RC) frames according to Indian standards. It explains that detailing involves translating the structural design into the final structure through reinforcement drawings. Good detailing ensures reinforcement and concrete interact efficiently. Key aspects of ductile detailing covered include requirements for beams, columns, and beam-column joints to improve ductility and seismic performance. Specific provisions are presented for longitudinal and shear reinforcement in beams and columns, as well as confining reinforcement and lap splices. The importance of cover and stirrup spacing is also discussed.

Ch8 Truss Bridges (Steel Bridges تصميم الكباري المعدنية & Prof. Dr. Metwally ...Hossam Shafiq II
This chapter discusses truss bridges. It begins by defining a truss as a triangulated assembly of straight members that can be used to replace girders. The main advantages of truss bridges are that primary member forces are axial loads and the open web system allows for greater depth.
The chapter then describes the typical components of a through truss bridge and the most common truss forms including Pratt, Warren, curved chord, subdivided, and K-trusses. Design considerations like truss depth, economic spans, cross section shapes, and wind bracing are covered. The chapter concludes with sections on determining member forces, design principles, and specific design procedures.
Ch7 Box Girder Bridges (Steel Bridges تصميم الكباري المعدنية & Prof. Dr. Metw...Hossam Shafiq II
1. Box girder bridges have two key advantages over plate girder bridges: they possess torsional stiffness and can have much wider flanges.
2. For medium span bridges between 45-100 meters, box girder bridges offer an attractive form of construction as they maintain simplicity while allowing larger span-to-depth ratios compared to plate girders.
3. Advances in welding and cutting techniques have expanded the structural possibilities for box girders, allowing for more economical designs of large welded units.
Ch5 Plate Girder Bridges (Steel Bridges تصميم الكباري المعدنية & Prof. Dr. Me...Hossam Shafiq II
Plate girders are commonly used as main girders for short and medium span bridges. They are fabricated by welding together steel plates to form an I-shape cross-section, unlike hot-rolled I-beams. Plate girders offer more design flexibility than rolled sections as the plates can be optimized for strength and economy. However, their thin plates are more susceptible to various buckling modes which control the design. Buckling considerations of the compression flange, web in shear and bending must be evaluated to determine the plate girder's load capacity.
Ch4 Bridge Floors (Steel Bridges تصميم الكباري المعدنية & Prof. Dr. Metwally ...Hossam Shafiq II
This chapter discusses bridge floors for roadway and railway bridges. It describes three main types of structural systems for roadway bridge floors: slab, beam-slab, and orthotropic plate. For railway bridges, the two main types are open timber floors and ballasted floors. The chapter then covers design considerations for allowable stresses, stringer and cross girder cross sections, and provides an example design for the floor of a roadway bridge with I-beam stringers and cross girders.
Ch3 Design Considerations (Steel Bridges تصميم الكباري المعدنية & Prof. Dr. M...Hossam Shafiq II
This chapter discusses design considerations for steel bridges. It outlines two main design philosophies: working stress design and limit states design. The chapter then focuses on the working stress design method, which is based on the Egyptian Code of Practice for Steel Constructions and Bridges. It provides allowable stress values for various steel grades and loading conditions, including stresses due to axial, shear, bending, compression and tension loads. Design of sections is classified based on compact and slender criteria. The chapter also addresses stresses from repeated, erection and secondary loads.
Ch2 Design Loads on Bridges (Steel Bridges تصميم الكباري المعدنية & Prof. Dr....Hossam Shafiq II
This document discusses design loads on bridges. It describes various types of loads that bridges must be designed to resist, including dead loads from the bridge structure itself, live loads from traffic, and environmental loads such as wind, temperature, and earthquakes. It provides specifics on how to calculate loads from road and rail traffic according to Egyptian design codes, including truck and train configurations, impact factors, braking and centrifugal forces, and load distributions. Other loads like wind, thermal effects, and concrete shrinkage are also summarized.
Ch1 Introduction (Steel Bridges تصميم الكباري المعدنية & Prof. Dr. Metwally A...Hossam Shafiq II
This document provides an introduction to steel bridges, including:
1. It discusses the history and evolution of bridge engineering and the key components of bridge structures.
2. It describes different classifications of bridges according to materials, usage, position, and structural forms. The structural forms include beam bridges, frame bridges, arch bridges, cable-stayed bridges, and suspension bridges.
3. It provides examples of different types of bridges and explains the basic structural systems used in bridges, including simply supported, cantilever, and continuous beams as well as rigid frames.
Lec05 Design of Rectangular Beams with Tension Steel only (Reinforced Concret...Hossam Shafiq II
The document discusses design considerations for rectangular reinforced concrete beams with tension steel only. It covers topics such as beam proportions, deflection control, selection of reinforcing bars, concrete cover, bar spacing, effective steel depth, minimum beam width, and number of bars. Beam proportions should have a depth to width ratio of 1.5-2 for normal spans and up to 4 for longer spans. Minimum concrete cover and bar spacings are specified to protect the steel. Effective steel depth is the distance from the extreme compression fiber to the steel centroid. Design assumptions must be checked against the final design.
Lec04 Analysis of Rectangular RC Beams (Reinforced Concrete Design I & Prof. ...Hossam Shafiq II
This document discusses the ultimate flexural analysis of reinforced concrete beams according to building codes. It covers topics such as concrete stress-strain relationships, stress distributions at failure, nominal and design flexural strength, moments in beams, tension steel ratios, minimum steel requirements, ductile and brittle failure modes, and calculations for balanced and maximum steel ratios. Diagrams illustrate key concepts regarding stress blocks, strain distributions, and section types. Formulas are presented for determining balanced steel ratio, maximum steel ratio, and checking neutral axis depth.
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji - Bandi Chor Guru.pdfBalvir Singh
Sri Guru Hargobind Ji (19 June 1595 - 3 March 1644) is revered as the Sixth Nanak.
• On 25 May 1606 Guru Arjan nominated his son Sri Hargobind Ji as his successor. Shortly
afterwards, Guru Arjan was arrested, tortured and killed by order of the Mogul Emperor
Jahangir.
• Guru Hargobind's succession ceremony took place on 24 June 1606. He was barely
eleven years old when he became 6th Guru.
• As ordered by Guru Arjan Dev Ji, he put on two swords, one indicated his spiritual
authority (PIRI) and the other, his temporal authority (MIRI). He thus for the first time
initiated military tradition in the Sikh faith to resist religious persecution, protect
people’s freedom and independence to practice religion by choice. He transformed
Sikhs to be Saints and Soldier.
• He had a long tenure as Guru, lasting 37 years, 9 months and 3 days

Modes of Shear Failure
in Normal Beams
• Shear behavior and analysis of RC beams is quite complex.
• Several experimental studies have been conducted to identify
the various modes of failure due to combined shear and
bending
• Shear behavior and failure is closely related to shear span to
depth ratio a /d
• For normal beams, shear failure modes are :
Diagonal tension failure
Flexural shear failure
Diagonal compression failure
8
5. 15-Mar-13
CE 370: Prof. A. Charif 5
Diagonal tension Failure
(Web-shear cracks)
• Web shear cracks occur around neutral axis under large shear force
and small bending moment. These cracks are normally at 450 with
the horizontal and form near the mid-depth of sections and move
on a diagonal path to the tension surface.
• Occur at ends of beams at simple supports and at inflection points
in continuous beams
9
Flexural-shear Failure
(Flexure-shear cracks)
• For flexure-shear cracks to occur, the moment must be larger
than the cracking moment and the shear must be rather large.
• The cracks run at angles of about 450 with the beam axis and
often start at the top of the flexural cracks.
10
6. 15-Mar-13
CE 370: Prof. A. Charif 6
Diagonal compression failure
• Diagonal compression failure occurs under large
shear force. It is characterized by the crushing of
concrete. Normally it occurs in beams which are
reinforced against heavy shear.

Forces in a cracked beam
without stirrups
• Shear strength mechanism of RC members includes :
– Concrete compression force in uncracked region
– Aggregate interlocking in cracked zone
– Shear across longitudinal steel bars known as dowel force
– Shear reinforcement, if present, will also resist the shear force

Types of Shear Reinforcement (Stirrups)
• Steel stirrups may be inclined along diagonal tension but are
usually vertical
• Part of longitudinal bars may also be bent up from bottom to top
to play role of shear reinforcement and then top steel
• Nowadays,
stirrups are
often vertical
16
Types of Shear Reinforcement
• Inclined stirrups and bent up bars are not very practical
because of the high labor costs for positioning them.
• Nowadays, stirrups are often vertical

Types of Shear Reinforcement (Stirrups)
Behavior of RC beams with web
reinforcement (Truss Analogy)
Concrete in compression is top chord
Longitudinal tension steel is bottom chord
Stirrups form truss verticals
Concrete between diagonal cracks form the truss diagonals
18
10. 15-Mar-13
CE 370: Prof. A. Charif 10
Shear Stress Transfer in RC Beams
• Diagonal cracks will occur in beams with shear reinforcement
at almost the same loads that they occur in beams of the same
size without shear reinforcement.
• The shear reinforcement makes its presence known only after
the cracks begin to form. At that time, beams must have
sufficient shear reinforcing to resist the shear force not resisted
by the concrete.
• After a shear crack has developed in a beam, only a little shear
can be transferred across the crack unless web reinforcing is
used to bridge the gap. When such reinforcing is present, it
keeps the pieces of concrete on the two sides of the crack from
separating.
19
Benefits of Stirrups
Stirrups carry shear across the crack directly
Promote aggregate interlock
Confine the core of the concrete in the beam thereby
increasing strength and ductility
Confine the longitudinal bars and prevent concrete
cover from splitting off the beam
Hold the pieces of concrete on either side of the
crack together and prevent the crack from
propagating into the compression region

• In practice the stirrup diameter ds is usually fixed and the

Shear Design – Summary Cont.
The three SBC / ACI requirements (steps 5 to 7) can be reformulated
using the stirrup spacing as the main design variable.
The designer usually selects first the stirrup diameter ds, the number of
legs n, and then determines the required stirrup spacing s, while
satisfying all code requirements. Given its diameter ds and the number

Shear design Flowchart
Shear Design - Observations
• The designed stirrup spacing may turn out inadequate in many
ways. It could be either too large or too small.
• If the spacing is too large, then the number of legs or (and) stirrup
diameter may be decreased.
• If the spacing is too small, then either the number of legs or
stirrup diameter must be increased.
• A complete and adequate design strategy is to start using the
minimum stirrup diameter and minimum number of legs.
• If the spacing is too small (less than 100 mm), increase the
number of legs, but if the number of legs is excessive then
increase the stirrup diameter.

Shear Design Problem 1
• A simply supported beam is subjected to uniform
loading composed of dead load (including self weight)
of 27.0 kN/m and live load of 17.5 kN/m.
• The beam clear span length is 9.6 m and the section
dimensions are 300 x 600 mm.
• Steel depth is d = 540 mm
• Design the beam for shear using 10 mm stirrups and the
following material data :
45
MPafMPaf yc 42025'
Solution 1
The ultimate load is :
wu = 1.4 x 27.0 + 1.7 x 17.5 = 37.8 + 29.75 = 67.55 kN/m
Factored live load is : wLu = 1.7 x 17.5 = 29.75 kN/m
Ultimate shear force at support and mid-span as well as value at the

• A stirrup is assumed to resist shear over a distance
extending s/2 on each side of the stirrup
• The first stirrup must thus be located at a distance s/2 from
the support face
• First stirrup at 100 mm, then constant 200 mm spacing
Solution 1 – Cont.
• Using more than three legs is wasteful as spacing becomes
controlled by geometry maximum spacing
• Question 2 : Can we change spacing when shear force is reduced?

Stirrup Requirement
and Spacing Variation
51
• When shear force is reduced, we can not only change
(increase) stirrup spacing, but we may be able to stop
stirrups completely when they are no longer required
• Remember : Stirrups are required in beams in all
zones where:
cu VV 5.0
cu VV 5.0
• Stirrups may therefore be required near the beam
support and not required in other zones (around the
mid-span) where shear force is smaller :

53
• Geometry maximum spacing s1
max is independent of shear steel
area Av and thus on number of legs n and stirrup diameter ds,
• If the final stirrup spacing is controlled by the geometry limit
s1
max case (a), it cannot be increased. The number of legs, or
stirrup diameter, may be decreased (if they are not minimal).
• Minimum leg number is usually 2 and minimum stirrup diameter
is 10 mm for columns and 8 to 10 mm for beams
• If the final spacing is controlled by any of the other two limits
s2
max or s3
max , then the design is adopted unless the spacing is
too small (less than 75 to 100 mm), in which case the number of
legs must be increased
• If the final spacing is controlled by the required steel limit s3
max
this means that it can be varied (increased) at a reduced value of
shear force located at a certain distance from the support.
Stirrup Requirement and Spacing Variation
Stirrup Design Algorithm
(Variation of Stirrup Spacing)
• If the final stirrup spacing is controlled by required steel limit s3
max
then it can be varied (increased) at a reduced value of shear force
located at a certain distance from the support
• Spacing variation is performed if the required number of stirrups
over distance Lst is important (say greater than 10)
• The new spacing value is usually 50 to 100 mm greater than the
previous one

(Ls1 = 50 + 7 x 100 = 750 mm)
2. Eight stirrups with spacing s2 = 150 mm (Ls2 = 8 x 150 = 1200 mm

• The final spacing value controlled by the required spacing limit
(89.7 mm) is small and less than the minimum limit of 100 mm.
• To increase the required spacing, we must increase the number of
legs (or the stirrup diameter)
• We keep using the same 8-mm stirrup diameter and increase the
number of legs to three. The maximum geometry spacing remains

Solution 3 - Summary
Stirrups required over a distance Lst = 4552 mm (less than half-span)
Use of three-leg 8 mm stirrups as follows:
1. Ten stirrups with spacing s1 = 100 mm and the first stirrup is at
s1/2 = 50 mm, (Ls1 = 50 + 9 x 100 = 950 mm)
2. Eight stirrups with s2 = 150 mm (Ls2 = 8 x 150 = 1200 mm and
Ls1 + Ls2 = 2150 mm)
3. Ten stirrups with s3 = 250 mm (Ls3 = 10 x 250 = 2500 mm and
Ls1 + Ls2 + Ls3 = 4650 mm)
• Total : 28 three-leg stirrups
• The same results are delivered by RC-TOOL software as shown
in the figure

RC-TOOL Solution of Problem 3
Comments about Problem 3
• It may happen that the required number of legs at the critical
section is greater than the minimum limit. This value can be used
throughout the beam but it can also be reduced for lower shear
force values.
• When the number of legs necessary at the critical section is greater
than the minimum limit (as in example 3), it can be reduced at a
certain distance when the spacing is controlled by the maximum
geometry spacing s1
max
• The last ten stirrups with 250 mm spacing can thus be replaced
with two legged stirrups with an adequate spacing to be calculated.
• Using two legs for the third spacing will also affect the number of
stirrups using the second spacing (this number n2 will increase as
the stopping of spacing 2 will be delayed).

Shear Design Problem 4
(High shear force value)
• We study the same previous beam but with higher
loading.
• Dead load (including self weight) = 40.0 kN/m
• Live load = 20.0 kN/m.
• The beam clear span length is 9.6 m and the section
dimensions are 300 x 600 mm.
• Tension steel depth is d = 540 mm
• Design the beam for shear using 10 mm stirrups and the
following material data :

• We can thus use 8 stirrups with spacing 150 mm or perform a
new spacing variation
• The number of stirrups with spacing s2 is not very large
• We may decide that there is no need for a new spacing
variation
• RC-TOOL software performs spacing variation if the stirrup
number exceeds five

Solution 5a - Summary
Stirrups required over a distance Lst = 2100 mm (Half-span)
Use of two-leg 10 mm stirrups as follows:
1. Ten stirrups with spacing s1 = 100 mm. First stirrup located at
s1/2 = 50 mm (Ls1 = 950 mm)
2. Eight stirrups with spacing s2 = 150 mm (Ls2 = 1200 mm and
Ls1 + Ls2 = 2150 mm)
3. The extra 50 mm can be easily corrected by many ways, such as
adding one more stirrup at a spacing s1 :
4. Eleven stirrups with spacing s1 = 100 mm. First stirrup located
at s1/2 = 50 mm (Ls1 = 1050 mm)
5. Seven stirrups with spacing s2 = 150 mm (Ls2 = 1050 mm and
Ls1 + Ls2 = 2100 mm)
Total of 18 stirrups in half-span and 35 in the beam.
