Width of bearing plate provided (mm) 100 Stress in tension steel (Mpa) 588.34 220
Adopt a bearing plate of size 100mm X 350mm Area of tension steel required (mm2) 1023
2. Depth of corbel at support Use 6 Nos 16 dia bars

 Design of Concrete Corbel
Overall depth of corbel (mm) 650 Minimum Asv required (mm2) 511
Minimum depth of corbel at the face 325 4 - 10 dia stirrups in
For strut action a/d 0.33 upper 2/3 depth,area provided (mm2) 628
Check the strut action OK Spacing (mm) 100
3. Lever arm & compression reinforcement 6. Area of Shear Steel
Lever arm Z=(d - 0.42X), so X = 2.38*(d-Z) b = 4.346 tc (N/mm2) 0.49
Fc=0.36*fck*b*Xcosq Increased shear strength t'c (N/mm2) 2.95
Fc=0.36*fck*b*2.38*(d-z)*a/sqrt(a2+z2) Maximun shear strength of concrete 2.8
Shear strength to be
Also, Fc= P/sinq=sqrt(a2+z2)*P/z considered(N/mm2) 2.80
Equating the above two: Total shear resistance (kN) 1006
0.86*fck*b*d*(1-z/d)*a/sqrt(a2+z2)= Check for shear OK
sqrt(a2+z2)*P/z
ie. 0.86*fck*b*d*a*z*(1-z/d)=(a +z )*P
2 2

ie. Z2(P+0.86*fck*b*a)-0.86fck*b*d*a*z+a2*P=0
ie. A*Z2+B*Z+C=0
Now, A= 1504000
B= -7.2E+08
C= 1.2E+10
So, Z(in mm)= 463
X (in mm)= 326
X/d= 0.54
