IMMEDIATE PROPS REQUIREMENT CALCULATION

Equivalent concrete strength (fceq) = 1926 psi

Yield Str. , fy = 40000 psi

Fig: Point label view indicating 15 & 38 points

Sample Calculation for immediate props for unsatisfied points:
Sample Calculation for point-15
Service load of this Column = 95.88 kip.
Nominal Capacity of Column= 0.8{0.85𝑓′c(𝐴𝑔−𝐴𝑠𝑡)+(𝐴𝑠𝑡∗𝑓𝑦)}
=0.8{0.85∗1.926 (100−1.24)+(1.24∗40)}
=169.02 kips
FOS = Nominal Capacity of Column/ Service load of this Column

=169.02 / 95.88=1.76
Since, nominal capacity of column is greater than 1.25,
So, no immediate props are required.

[Note: it is observed that for point-15, calculated value is 1.24 as per sent pdf. But in calculation it is shown that
value is 1.76.]

Sample Calculation for point-38

Service load of this Column = 136.22 kip.
Nominal Capacity of Column= 0.8{0.85𝑓′(𝐴𝑔−𝐴𝑠𝑡)+(𝐴𝑠𝑡∗𝑓𝑦)}
=0.8{0.85∗1.926 (100−1.24)+(1.24∗40)}
=169.02 kips
FOS = Nominal Capacity of Column/ Service load of this Column

=169.02 / 136.22=1.24
Since, nominal capacity of column is less than 1.25,

So, immediate props are required.

Similar mistakes are found in the punching calculation

PUNCHING CALCULATION FOR SLAB AGAINST PROPS:

Sample calculation for point 38:

Base plate dimension = 175 X 300 mm

Props reaction= 19.08 kips (as per sent pdf file)

Punching Shear for base plate on slab,Vu = ((19.08*1.5*1000)/(7+12+7+12+(4*3.75))*3.75)

= 144 lb = 0.15 kips

Phi*Vc = 4*phi*√f’c*b*d = 4*0.85*√1926*7*12 = 12.53 kips

Hence, okay.

No calculation is provided for punching in the grade beam though props is proposed from the grade beam

Response: 3

THERE IS NO NEEDED TO CHECK PUNCHING WHERE THERE IS BEAM. SHEAR CHECK CAN BE OKAY
FOR BEAMS.

For ETABS model, Grade beam = 10 X12

Design Shear strength for concrete, phi*Vc= 2*phi*√f’c*bd = 2* 0.85*√1926*10*9.5 = 7.09 kips.

Now, S= (Av*fyd)/(Vu-phi*Vc ) (Say, Spacing of web reinf. 4”c/c)

4 = (0.22*40000*9.5)/(Vu-7.09)

Or, Vu= 20.90 kips.

As, Prop reaction = 19.08 kips< Vu

Hence, okay for beam shear check

Comment: 4:

For grid 6B the props layout is incomplete. Also how the props will be connected with the beams is not
mentioned.

Response: 4

ACAD WORKS.

The props will be connected with beams with base plate surrounding nos. of bolts.

Say 4-12mm rowel bolt.
