Two-Way Post-Tensioned Design

The following example illustrates the design methods presented in ACI 318-05 and IBC 2003. Unless
otherwise noted, all referenced table, figure, and equation numbers are from these books. The example
presented here is for Two-Way Post-Tensioned Design.

Loads:
Framing Dead Load = selfweight
Superrimposed Dead Load = 25 psf partitions, M/E, misc.
Live Load = 40 psf residential
2 hour fire-rating

Materials:
Concrete: Normal weight 150 pcf
f'c = 5,000 psi
f'ci = 3,000 psi

Rebar: fy = 60,000 psi


PT: Unbonded tendons
1/2”ϕ, 7-wire strands, A = 0.153 in2
fpu = 270 ksi
Estimated prestress losses = 15 ksi (ACI 18.6)
fse = 0.7 (270 ksi) - 15 ksi = 174 ksi (ACI 18.5.1)
Peff = A*fse = (0.153)(174 ksi) = 26.6 kips/tendon

Determine Preliminary Slab Thickness


Start with L/h = 45
Longest span = 30 ft
h = (30 ft)(12)/45
= 8.0” preliminary slab thickness

Loading
DL = Selfweight = (8in)(150 pcf) = 100 psf
SIDL = 25 psf
LLo = 40 psf

IBC 1607.9.1 allows for LL reduction


Exterior bay: AT = (25 ft)(27 ft) = 675 ft2

KLL = 1
LL = 0.83 LLo = 33 psf
Interior bay: AT = (25 ft)(30 ft) = 750 ft2
KLL = 1
LL = 0.80 LLo = 32 psf

Two-Way Post-Tensioned Design

DESIGN OF EAST-WEST INTERIOR FRAME


Use Equivalent Frame Method, ACI 13.7 (excluding sections 13.7.7.4-5)
Total bay width between centerlines = 25 ft
Ignore column stiffness in equations for simplicity of hand calculations
No pattern loading required, since LL/DL < 3/4 (ACI 13.7.6)

Calculate Section Properties


Two-way slab must be designed as Class U (ACI 18.3.3), Gross cross-sectional properties allowed
(ACI 18.3.4)
A = bh = (300 in)(8 in) = 2,400 in2
S = bh2/6 = (300 in)(8 in)2/6 = 3,200 in3

Set Design Parameters


Allowable stresses: Class U (ACI 18.3.3)

At time of jacking (ACI 18.4.1)


f'ci = 3,000 psi
Compression = 0.60 f'ci = 0.6(3,000 psi) = 1,800 psi
Tension = 3√f'ci = 3√3,000 = 164 psi
At service loads (ACI 18.4.2(a) and 18.3.3)
f'c = 5,000 psi
Compression = 0.45 f'c = 0.45(5,000 psi) = 2,250 psi
Tension = 6√f'c = 6√5,000 = 424 psi

Average precompression limits:


P/A = 125 psi min. (ACI 18.12.4)
= 300 psi max.

Target load balances:


60%-80% of DL(selfweight) for slabs (good approximation for hand calculation)
For this example: 0.75 wDL = 0.75(100 psf) = 75 psf

Cover Requirements (2-hour fire rating, assume carbonate aggregate)

Tendon profile:
Parabolic shape;
For a layout with spans of similar length, the tendons will be typically be located at the highest
allowable point at the interior columns, the lowest possible point at the midspans, and the neutral
axis at the anchor locations. This provides the maximum drape for load-balancing.

eccentricity, e, is the distance from the center to tendon to the neutral axis; varies along the span

Prestress Force Required to Balance 75% of selfweight DL


Since the spans are of similar length, the end span will typically govern the maximum required
post-tensioning force. This is due to the significantly reduced tendon drape, aEND.

wb = 0.75 wDL = 0.75 (100 psf)(25 ft) = 1,875 plf = 1.875 k/ft

Force needed in tendons to counteract the load in the end bay:


P = wbL2 / 8aend
= (1.875 k/ft)(27 ft)2 / [8(3.75 in / 12)]
= 547 k
TIME SAVING DESIGN AIDS Page 4 of 9

Two-Way Post-Tensioned Design

Check Precompression Allowance

Determine number of tendons to achieve 547 k


# tendons = (547 k) / (26.6 k/tendon)
= 20.56
Use 20 tendons

Actual force for banded tendons


Pactual = (20 tendons) (26.6 k) = 532 k

The balanced load for the end span is slightly adjusted


wb = (532/547)(1.875 k/ft) = 1.82 k/ft

Determine actual Precompression stress


Pactual /A = (532 k)(1000) / (2,400 in2)
= 221 psi > 125 psi min. ok
< 300 psi max. ok

Check Interior Span Force

P = (1.875 k/ft)(30 ft)2 / [8(6.0 in / 12)]


= 421 k < 532 k
Less force is required in the center bay

For this example, continue the force required for the end spans into the interior span and check the
amount of load that will be balanced:

wb = (532 k)(8)(6.0 in /12) / (30 ft)2


= 2.36 k/ft

wb/wDL = 94%; This value is less than 100%; acceptable for this design.

East-West interior frame:

Effective prestress force, Peff = 532 kips

Check Slab Stresses


Separately calculate the maximum positive and negative moments in the frame for the dead, live, and bal-
ancing loads. A combination of these values will determine the slab stresses at the time of stressing and
at service loads.

Dead Load Moments


wDL = (125 psf) (25 ft) / 1000 = 3.125 plf

All stresses are within the permissible code limits.

Ultimate Strength

Determine factored moments


The primary post-tensioning moments, M1, vary along the length of the span.
M1 = P * e
e = 0 in. at the exterior support
e = 3.0 in at the interior support (neutral axis to the center of tendon)

M1 = (532k)(3.0in) / (12) = 133ft-k

The secondary post-tensioning moments, Msec, vary linearly between supports.


Msec = Mbal - M1
= 154 ft-k - 133 ft-k
= 21 ft-k at the interior supports

The typical load combination for ultimate strength design is

Mu = 1.2 MDL + 1.6 MLL + 1.0 Msec

At midspan: Mu = 1.2 (172ft-k) + 1.6 (45ft-k) + 1.0 (10.5 ft-k) = 289 ft-k
At support: Mu = 1.2 (-240ft-k) + 1.6 (-64ft-k) + 1.0 (21 ft-k) = -370 ft-k

Minimum Slab Thickness


Longest clear span ln = 24 – (20/12) = 22.33 ft

From Fig. 4-3, minimum thickness h per ACI Table 9.5(c) = ln/30 = 8.9 in.

Use Fig. 1-8 to determine h based on shear requirements at interior column assuming a 9 in. slab:

qu = 1.2(112.5 + 30) + 1.6(50) = 251.0 psf

A = 24 x 20 = 480 ft2

A/c12 = 480/22 = 120

From Fig. 1-8, d/c1 ≈ 0.22

d = 0.22 x 24 = 5.3 in.

h = 5.3 + 1.25 = 6.55 in.

Try preliminary h = 9 in.

Design for Flexure


Use Fig. 4-4 to determine if the Direct Design Method of ACI Sect. 13.6 can be utilized to compute the
bending moments due to the gravity loads:
• 3 continuous spans in one direction, more than 3 in the other O.K.
• Rectangular panels with long-to-short span ratio = 24/20 = 1.2 < 2 O.K.
• Successive span lengths in each direction are equal O.K.
• No offset columns O.K.
• L/D = 50/(112.5 + 30) = 0.35 < 2 O.K.
• Slab system has no beams N.A.

Since all requirements are satisfied, the Direct Design Method can be used.

Gravity Load Analysis


The coefficients of ACI Sect. 8.3 are utilized to compute the bending moments and shear forces along the
length of the beam. From preliminary calculations, the beams are assumed to be 36 x 20.5 in. Live load
reduction is taken per ASCE 7-02.
36 × 20.5
× 150
Beam weight = 144 = 23.7 psf
32.5

Live load reduction per ASCE 7-02 Sect. 4.8:

⎛ 15 ⎞
L =LO ⎜ 0.25 + ⎟
⎜ K LLAT ⎟⎠

From Figure C4 of ASCE 7-02, KLL = live load element factor = 2 for interior beams

AT = tributary area = 32.5 x 30 = 975 ft2

KLLAT = 2 x 975 = 1,950 ft2 > 400 ft2

⎛ 15 ⎞
L = LO ⎜ 0.25 + ⎟ = 0.59LO
⎝ 1, 950 ⎠

Since the beams support only one floor, L shall not be less than 0.50LO.

Therefore, L = 0.59 x 100 = 59 psf.

Total factored load wu:

wu = 1.2(76.6 + 23.7 + 30) + 1.6(59)

= 250.8 psf

= 250.8 x 32.5/1,000 = 8.15 klf

Wind Load Analysis


As noted above, wind forces are computed per ASCE 7-02. Calculations yield the following reactions:

Mw = ± 90.3 ft-kips

Vw = 6.0 kips

Design for Flexure


Sizing the cross-section

Per ACI Table 9.5(a), minimum thickness = l/18.5 = (30 x 12)/18.5 = 19.5 in.

Since joists are 20.5 in. deep, use 20.5-in. depth for the beams for formwork economy.

With d = 20.5 – 2.5 = 18 in., solving for b using maximum Mu along span (note: gravity moment combination
governs):

bd2 = 20Mu

b = 20 x 644.7/182 = 39.8 in. > 36 in.

This implies that using a 36-in. wide beam, ρ will be greater than 0.5ρmax.
TIME SAVING DESIGN AIDS Page 4 of 6

Beams and One-Way Slabs

Check minimum width based on ρ = ρmax (see Chapter 3 of the PCA publication Simplified Design of
Reinforced Concrete Buildings of Moderate Size and Height for derivation):

bd2 = 14.6Mu

b = 14.6 x 644.7/182 = 29.1 in. < 36 in.

This implies that ρ will be less than ρmax.

Use 36 x 20.5 in. beam.

Min. As = 3 4, 000 x 36 x18/60,000 = 2.05 in.2

Max. As = 0.0206 x 36 x 18 = 13.35 in.2

For example, at the exterior negative location in the end span, the required As = Mu/4d = 445.7/(4 x 18) =
6.19 in.2 Eight No. 8 bars provides 6.32 in.2. From Table 3-2, the minimum number of No. 8 bars for a 36-
in. wide beam is 5. Similarly, from Table 3-3, the maximum number of No. 8 bars is 16. Therefore, 8-No. 8
bars are adequate.

Design for Shear


Shear design is illustrated by determining the requirements at the exterior face of the interior column.

Vu = 1.2D + 1.6L = 132.4 kips (governs)

Vu at d from face = 132.4 – 8.15(18/12)

= 120.2 kips

Max. (φVc +φVs) = φ10 f' c bwd = 307.4 kips

φVc = φ2 f' c bwd = 61.5 kips

Required φVs = 120.2 – 61.5 = 58.7 kips

From Table 3-8, No. 5 U-stirrups at d/3 provides φVs = 84 kips > 58.7 kips. Length over which stirrups are
required = [120.2 – (61.5/2)]/8.15 = 11 ft from face of support.

Use No. 5 stirrups @ 6 in.

Reinforcement Details
The figure below shows the reinforcement details for the beam. The bar lengths are computed from
Fig. 8-3 of the PCA publication Simplified Design of Reinforced Concrete Buildings of Moderate Size and
Height. In lieu of computing the bar lengths in accordance with ACI Sects. 12.10 through 12.12, 2-No. 5
bars are provided within the center portion of the span to account for any variations in required bar
lengths due to wind effects. For overall economy, it may be worthwhile to forego the No. 5 bars and
determine the actual bar lengths per the above ACI sections.

Since the beams are part of the primary lateral-load-resisting system, ACI Sect. 12.11.2 requires that at
least one-fourth of the positive moment reinforcement extend into the support and be anchored to devel-
op fy in tension at the face of the support.
TIME SAVING DESIGN AIDS Page 1 of 9

Columns

The following examples illustrate the design methods presented in the PCA book “Simplified Design -
Reinforced Concrete Buildings of Moderate Size and Height” third edition. Unless otherwise noted, all
referenced table, figure, and equation numbers are from that book. The examples presented here are
for columns.

Examples for walls are available on our Web page: www.cement.org/buildings.

Example 1
In this example, an interior column at the 1st floor level of a 7-story building is designed for the effects
of gravity loads. Structural walls resist lateral loads, and the frame is nonsway.

Materials
• Concrete: normal weight (150 pcf), 3/4-in. maximum aggregate, f’c = 4,000 psi
• Mild reinforcing steel: Grade 60 (fy = 60,000 psi)

Loads
• Floor framing dead load = 90 psf
• Superimposed dead loads = 30 psf
• Live load = 100 psf (floor), 20 psf (roof)

Building Data
• Typical interior bay = 30 ft x 30 ft
• Story height = 12 ft-0 in.

The table below contains a summary of the axial loads due to gravity. The total factored load Pu is com-
puted in accordance with Sect. 9.2.1, and includes an estimate for the weight of the column. Live load
reduction is determined from ASCE 7-02. Moments due to gravity loads are negligible.

Floor DL (psf) LL (psf) Red. LL (psf) Pu (kips) Cum. Pu (kips)


7 80 20 20.0 125 125
6 120 100 50.0 212 337

2 120 100 40.0 197 1,129
1 120 100 40.0 197 1,326

Use Fig. 5-1 to determine a preliminary size for the tied column at the 1st floor level.

Assuming a reinforcement ratio ρg = 0.020, for Pu = 1,326 kips, a 24” x 24” column is required.

Check if slenderness effects need to be considered.


TIME SAVING DESIGN AIDS Page 2 of 9

Columns

Since the column is part of a nonsway frame, slenderness effects can be neglected when the unsupported
column length is less than or equal to 12h, where h is the column dimension (ACI 318-05 Sect. 10.12.2).

12h = 12 x 24 = 288 in. = 24 ft > 12 ft story height, which is greater than the unsupported length of the
column. Therefore, slenderness effects can be neglected.

To determine the required area of longitudinal reinforcement.

For a 24 x 24 in. column at the 1st floor level:

As = 0.02 x 24 x 24 = 11.52 in.2

Try 8-No. 11 bars (As = 12.48 in.2)

Check Eq. (10-2) of ACI 318-05:

φPn(max) = 0.80φ[0.85f’c (Ag – Ast) + fy Ast]


= 1,386 kips > 1,326 kips O.K.

3-No. 11 bars can be accommodated on the face of a 24-in. wide column with normal lap splices and
No. 4 ties.

Determine required ties and spacing.

According to Sect. 7.10.5.1, No. 4 ties are required when No. 11 longitudinal bars are used.

According to Sect. 7.10.5.2, spacing of ties shall not exceed the least of:

16 long. bar diameters = 16 x 1.41


= 22.6 in. (governs)

48 tie bar diameters = 48 x 0.5


= 24 in.

Least column dimension = 24 in.

Check clear spacing of longitudinal bars:


⎛ 1.41⎞
24 - 2⎜1.5 + 0.5 + ⎟
⎝ 2 ⎠
Clear space = - 1.41 = 7.9 in.

Since the clear space between longitudinal bars > 6 in., cross-ties are required per ACI 318-05 Sect.
7.10.5.3.

Reinforcement details are shown below.

See ACI 318-05 Sect. 7.8 for additional special reinforcement details for columns.

Moment Redistribution

Adjustments of moments
In this example, it is decided to reduce the negative moment at the first interior support and accept the
corresponding increase in the positive moment in the end span. It is also decided that the negative
moments at the exterior supports will not be adjusted.
The following calculations illustrate the adjustment of the moments for Load Case II.
Negative moment at first interior support = −674.8 ft-kips with an allowable redistribution factor = 8.0%
(see above table).
Reduction to moment = −674.8 × 0.08 = −54.0 ft-kips
Adjusted negative moment = −674.8 − (−54.0) = −620.8 ft-kips
Increase in positive moment in end span:
For Load Case II, negative moment at exterior support = −357.8 ft-kips
− 620.8 + (− 357.8)
Midspan ordinate on line from exterior support to interior support = = −489.3 ft-kips

Moment due to uniform load = wu l n / 8 = 9.3 × 28.33 / 8 = 933.0 ft-kips
Adjusted positive moment at midspan = 933.0 + (−489.3) = 443.7 ft-kips
Similar calculations can be performed for the other load cases.

The table below gives a summary of the required reinforcement at the negative and positive locations in
both an exterior and interior span, based on the redistributed bending moments. Note that if an

Torsion Design

The following example illustrates the design methods presented in the PCA book “Simplified Design -
Reinforced Concrete Buildings of Moderate Size and Height” third edition. Unless otherwise noted, all
referenced table, figure, and equation numbers are from that book.
Example Building
Below is a partial plan of a typical floor in a cast-in-place reinforced building. In this example, beam CD is
designed and detailed for the combined effects of flexure, shear, and torsion according to ACI 318-05.

Design Data
Materials
x Concrete: normal weight (150 pcf), f’c = 4,000 psi
x Mild reinforcing steel: Grade 60 (fy = 60,000 psi)
Loads
x Dead load of joists = 77 psf
TIME SAVING DESIGN AID Page 2 of 22

Torsion Design

x Superimposed dead load = 30 psf


x Live load = 50 psf
Additional data
x Typical bay size = 24 × 32 ft (5 bays in N-S direction, 3 bays in E-W direction)
x Typical story height = 12 ft

Factored Torsional Moment Tu

Since beam CD is part of an indeterminate framing system in which redistribution of internal forces can
occur following torsional cracking, the maximum factored torsional moment Tu at the critical section
located at a distance d from the face of the support can be determined from the following:
2
⎛ Acp ⎞
Tu = φ4 fc' ⎜ ⎟
⎜ pcp ⎟
⎝ ⎠

This type of torsion is referred to as compatibility torsion, the magnitude of which is greater than the
factored torsional moment Tu, min below which torsional effects can be neglected, where

2
⎛ Acp ⎞
Tu,min = φ fc' ⎜ ⎟
⎜ pcp ⎟
⎝ ⎠

Since the beams and joists are cast monolithically, Acp and pcp for beam CD can include a portion of the
adjoining slab. The effective width be of the overhanging flange must conform to 13.2.4:

be = h − hf = 20.5 – 4.5 = 16.0 in. (governs)

= 4hf = 4 × 4 .5 = 18.0 in.

Acp = (20.5 × 24 ) + (16.5 × 4.5 ) = 566.25 in.2

pcp = 2(20.5 + 24 + 16.5) = 122 in.


2 3
Acp / p cp = 2,628 in.

The torsional properties of the beam ignoring the overhanging flange are the following:
Acp = (20.5 × 24 ) = 492 in.2

pcp = 2(20.5 + 24 ) = 89 in.


2 3
Acp / p cp = 2,720 in.3 > 2,628 in.

Therefore, ignore flange per 11.6.1.1.

Tu = 0.75 × 4 4,000 × 2,720 = 516,084 in.-lbs = 43.0 ft-kips

It is assumed that the torsional loading on beam CD is uniformly distributed along the span.

Shear Forces and Bending Moments in Beam CD


⎡⎛ 20 .5 × 24 ⎞ ⎤
w D = ⎢⎜ × 150 ⎟ + (77 + 30 ) × (32 / 2 )⎥ / 1,000 = 2.2 kips/ft

w L = 50 × (32 / 2) / 1,000 = 0.8 kips/ft

wu = 1.2wD + 1.6w L = 3.9 kips/ft

This framing system satisfies the conditions for analysis by the coefficients of 8.3.3, as illustrated in
Figure 2-2. Thus, use Figures 2-3, 2-4, and 2-7 to determine the maximum positive moment, negative
moment, and shear force in an interior span:

⎜ ⎟ +⎜ u h ⎟ ≤ φ⎛⎜ Vc + 8 fc' ⎞⎟
⎜b d⎟ ⎜ 1.7A2 ⎟ ⎜b d ⎟
⎝ w ⎠ ⎝ oh ⎠ ⎝ w ⎠

Using an average d = 20.5 − 2.5 = 18.0 in., the factored shear force at the critical section located at
a distance d from the face of the support is Vu = 37.4 kips. Also, the nominal shear strength provided by
the concrete is Vc = 2 fc' bw d .

Assuming a 1.5-in. clear cover to No. 4 closed stirrups:

Aoh = [20.5 − (2 × 1.5) − 0.5] × [24 − (2 × 1.5) − 0.5] = 348.5 in.2

ph = 2 × { [20.5 − (2 × 1.5 ) − 0.5] + [24 − (2 × 1.5 ) − 0.5] } = 75 in.

Therefore,

5 fc' Acp ⎛A ⎞ fyv


Al ,min = −⎜ t ⎟ph
fyl ⎝ s ⎠ fyl

where At / s = 0.019 in.2/in. > 25bw / fyv = 25 × 24 / 60,000 = 0.010 in.2/in.

5 4,000 × 492 ⎛ 60 ⎞ 2 2
Al ,min = − ⎜ 0.019 × 75 × ⎟ = 1.17 in. < Al = 1.43in.

Use A l = 1.43 in.2

Longitudinal Reinforcement Required for Flexure


The required As is given in the table below, assuming rectangular section behavior and an average
d = 18 in.
Required Longitudinal Reinforcement for Flexure

Location Mu As = Mu / 4d

(ft-kips) (in.2)

Support 174.3 2.42

Midspan 119.8 1.66

Total Required Longitudinal Reinforcement


The longitudinal reinforcement that is required for torsion will be combined with the longitudinal
reinforcement that is required for flexure.
The longitudinal torsional reinforcement must be distributed around the perimeter of the section with
a maximum spacing of 12 in. In order to have a uniform distribution of reinforcement around the
perimeter, assign approximately one-quarter of A l (= 0 .25 × 1 .43 = 0.36 in.2) to each face.

Use 1-No. 5 bar on each side (area = 0.31 in.2 ≅ 0.36 in.2, bar diameter = 0.625 in. > 0.042 s = 0.38 in.).
This bar distribution satisfies the maximum spacing requirement, since the spacing ≅ (20.5 – 3 – 1)/2 =
8.25 in. < 12 in. Distribute the remaining steel required for torsion evenly between the top and bottom of
the section; thus, 0.5[1.43 – (2 × 0.31)] = 0.41 in.2 will be added to the area of steel that is required for
flexure at both the top and bottom of the section.
x Face of support
Total top steel required = 2.42 + 0.41 = 2.83 in.2
For 4000-psi concrete, minimum As = 200bw d / fy = 1.44 in.2

Provide 3-No. 9 bars ( As = 3.00 in.2) at top of section. This satisfies both minimum and maximum spacing
requirements for bars in a single layer (see Tables 3-2 and 3-3).
TIME SAVING DESIGN AID Page 6 of 22

x Midspan
Total bottom steel required = 1.66 + 0.41 = 2.07 in.2
Provide 3-No. 8 bars ( As = 2.37 in.2) at bottom of section. This satisfies both minimum and maximum
spacing requirements for bars in a single layer (see Tables 3-2 and 3-3).
It can be shown that the section is tensioned-controlled.

Reinforcement Details
According to the provisions for structural integrity in 7.13, at least one-sixth of the tension
reinforcement required for negative moment at the support, but not less than 2 bars, and one-quarter of
the positive moment reinforcement at midspan, but not less than 2 bars, must be continuous and tied
with closed stirrups having not less than 135-deg hooks around the continuous top bars. Thus, at least 2
of the 3-No. 9 top bars must be made continuous or spliced with a Class A splice or a mechanical or
welded splice satisfying 12.14.3 at midspan, and at least 2 of the 3-No. 8 bottom bars must be made
continuous or spliced with a Class A splice or a mechanical or welded splice satisfying 12.14.3 over the
supports. No. 4 closed stirrups spaced at 9 in. on center can also be used wherever torsion and shear
reinforcement is not required.
One of the 3-No. 9 bars at the top of the section can be theoretically cutoff at the location where the
factored bending moment is equal to the design moment strength of the section based on a total area of
steel equal to the area of 2-No. 9 bars ( As = 2.00 in.2) minus the area of steel that is required for
torsion (0.41 in.2). Thus, with As = 2.00 – 0.41 = 1.59 in.2, φMn = 125 ft-kips. The distance x from the
face of the support to where the factored bending moment Mu = 125 ft-kips is obtained by summing
moments about the section at this location:
3.9 2
x − 43.2x + 174.3 = 125
2
Solution of this equation gives x = 1.2 ft. The 1-No. 9 bar must extend a distance d = 18 in. or 12 db =
12 × 1 .128 = 13.5 in. beyond the distance x. Thus, from the face of the support, the total bar length must
be at least equal to 1.2 + (18/12) = 2.7 ft. Also, the bars must extend a full development length l d beyond
the face of the support. The development length for the No. 9 bar can be determined as follows:

⎛ ⎞
⎜ ⎟
⎜ ⎟
3 fy αβγλ ⎟
ld =⎜ db
⎜ 40 ⎛ c +K ⎞ ⎟
⎜ fc' ⎜ tr ⎟⎟
⎜ ⎜ db ⎟ ⎟
⎝ ⎝ ⎠⎠

where α = reinforcement location factor = 1.3


β = coating factor = 1.0

γ = reinforcement size factor = 1.0

λ = lightweight aggregate concrete factor = 1.0

⎩ 2×2

Ktr = transverse reinforcement index

c + Ktr 2.6 + 0

Therefore,

⎛ 3 60,000 1.3 × 1.0 × 1.0 × 1.0 ⎞


l d = ⎜⎜ ⎟ 1.128 = 45.4 in. = 3.8 ft > 2.7 ft

⎝ 40 4,000 2.3 ⎠
Thus, the total required length of the 1-No. 9 bar must extend at least 3.8 ft beyond the face of the
support.
The positive reinforcing bar cutoff location is determined in a similar manner. Assuming that 1 of the 3-
No. 8 bars will be terminated, the positive moment strength with an area of steel As equal to (2 × 0.79) –
0.41 = 1.17 in.2 is φMn = 93 ft-kips. The distance from the centerline of the span to the location where
the factored moment Mu = 93 ft-kips is 3.7 ft. Thus, the bar length on each side of the span centerline
must be at least equal to 3.7 + (18/12) = 5.2 ft, which is greater than the development length l d = 2.4 ft
(conservatively assuming Ktr = 0).

The following figure shows the reinforcement details for beam CD.

Design for Shear


• Check shear strength in 1st story

Total shear = 11.3 + 22.0 + 21.1 + 19.9 + 20.5 = 94.8 kips

Per ACI 318-05 Sect. 9.2, Vu = 1.6 x 94.8 = 151.7 kips

From Table 6-5, for an 8-in. thick wall, φVc = 7.3 x 20.67 = 150.9 kips

Since Vu > φVc , provide horizontal shear reinforcement from Table 6-4.

From Table 6-5.


φVn = 36.4 x 20.67 = 752.3 kips > Vu = 151.7 kips

Therefore, Wall cross-section is adequate.

Determine required horizontal shear reinforcement:


φVs = Vu - φVc = 151.7 - 150.9 = 0.8 kips

φVs = 0.8 / 20.67 = 0.04 kips/ft length of wall

Select horizontal bars from Table 6-4:

For No. 4 bars @ 18”, φVs = 4.8 kips/ft > 0.04 kips/ft
However, minimum wall reinforcement per Table 6-3 for an 8 in. wall is No. 4 @ 10”

Use No. 4 @ 10” horizontal reinforcement.

Determine required vertical shear reinforcement:

ρl = 0.0025 + 0.5 (2.5 - hw/lw) (ρt - 0.0025) where hw/lw = 63/20.67 = 3.1

ρt = Avh/s2h = 0.20/(10 x 8) = 0.0025

ρl = 0.0025 + 0.5 (2.5 - 3.1) (0.0025 - 0.0025) = 0.0025

Use No. 4 @ 10” vertical reinforcement.

• Check shear strength in 2nd story

Vu = 1.6(11.3 + 22.0 + 21.1 + 19.9) = 118.9 kips

Since φVc /2 = 150.9/2 = 75.4 kips < Vu = 118.9 kips < φVc = 150.9 kips,
use No. 4 @ 10” for the horizontal and vertical reinforcement in the 2nd story.

• Check shear strength for the 3rd story

Vu at 3rd story = 1.6(11.3 + 22.0 + 21.1) = 87.0 kips

Since φVc /2 = 75.4 kips < Vu = 87.0 < Vc = 150.9 kips use No. 4 @ 10” for the horizontal and vertical rein-
forcement in the 3rd story.
TIME SAVING DESIGN AIDS Page 3 of 6

Walls

• Check shear strength for the 4th story and above

Vu at 4th story= 1.6(11.3 + 22.0) = 53.3 kips < φVc / 2 = 75.4 kips

Provide minimum reinforcement per Table 6-2.

For 8” wall, use No. 3 @ 11” vertical reinforcement and No. 4 @ 12” horizontial reinforcement.

Summary of reinforcement

• Vertical bars

1st through 3rd stories: No. 4 @ 10”

4th and 5th stories*: No. 3 @ 10”

• Horizontal bars

1st through 3rd stories: No. 4 @ 10”

4th and 5th stories: No. 4 @ 12”

* Spacing of vertical bars reduced from 11 in. to 10 in. so that the bars in the 3rd story can be spliced

with the bars in the 4th story.

Design for Flexure


When evaluating moment strength, the load combination given in ACI Eq. (9-6) will usually govern:

U = 0.9D + 1.6W

• Dead load and wind moment in 1st story

Tributary floor area = 300 ft2

Wall dead load = [0.150(8 x 248)]/144 = 2.1 kips/ft wall height

Pu = 0.9[(0.122 x 300) + (0.142 x 300 x 4) + (2.1 x 63)] = 305 kips

Mu = 1.6[(11.3 x 63) + (22.0 x 51) + (21.1 x 39) + (19.9 x 27) + (20.5 x 15)] = 5,603 ft-kips

• Dead loads and wind moments in 2nd and 3rd stories

In 2nd story: Pu = 239 kips


Mu = 3,327 ft-kips

In 3rd story: Pu = 178 kips


Mu = 1,900 ft-kips

In 4th story: Pu = 117 kips


Mu = 856 ft-kips
