TORSION DESIGN FOR BEAM

INFORMATION
Beam Mark = 30B315
Length, L = 3000 mm
Breadth, B = 200 mm
Depth, H = 550 mm
Concrete Grade = C35
Concrete Strength, fcu = 35 N/mm2
Reinforcement Strength, fy = 460 N/mm2
Steel Area for Tension, As = 116 mm2
Steel Area for Compression, As' = 0 mm2
Shear Links Required, As/sv = 0
Links Diameter = 12 mm 2 legs
Nominal Cover, c = 30 mm
Effective Depth, d = 495.5 mm

Design Shear, V = 29 kN
Design Torsion, T = 15.2 kNm

TORSIONAL SHEAR STRESS

hmax = 550 mm
hmin = 200 mm
vt = 2T / [hmin^2 (hmax-hmin/3)] = 1.572 N/mm2

LIMIT CHECKING
For C35,
vt,min = 0.396 N/mm2
vtu = 4.73 N/mm2
vtu x y1 / 550 = 4.113 N/mm2 vt < vtu, OK!

v = V / bd = 0.293 N/mm2
v + vt = = 1.865 N/mm2 v + vt < vtu, OK!

AREA OF TORSIONAL REINFORCEMENT

x1 = 200 - 30 x 2 - 12 = 128 mm
y1 = 550 - 30 x 2 - 12 = 478 mm
Max. Spacing of Links = 128 mm
Take Spacing of Links, sv = 125
Additional Links Required for Torsion, Asv/sv
= T / [0.8 x1 y1 (0.87fy)] = 0.776
Total Links Requied = 0.776
Provide Links T12/125 (2 legs) = 1.810 OK!
Additional As for Bending
= Asv/sv (x1+y1) = 470.2 mm2

Total As Required = 272.7 mm2

Provide Tension Reinforcement 2 T 25
0 T 0
0 T 0
Total As Provided = 982 mm2 OK!
Steel Ratio = 0.99% OK!

Total As' Required = 156.7 mm2

Provide Compression Reinforcement 2 T 16
0 T 0
0 T 0
Total As Provided = 402 mm2 OK!
Steel Ratio = 0.41% OK!
u, OK!

< vtu, OK!
