3.- STEEL REINFORCING DESIGN

According to design base and criteria, the minimum steel reinforcement shall be in accordance with ACI 207.2R-95, but never less than 60 kg/m3 of concrete
volume, distributed in all faces of concrete block.
Minimum steel reinforcement According to ACI 207.2R-95, Section 6.4, Eq

'
ft A A
A 's= or (as a limit for f't/fs)
fs 100
The minimum bar size and spacing for this members should not be less than 3/4" at 30 cm.

Where:

fs = Calculated steel stress, ksi w×103

f s= According to ACI 207.2R-95, Section 6.3, E
0 . 076 √3 d c A
f't = tensile strength of concrete, ksi
Recomended values:
f't/Ec = 0.0001 for early-age craking then f't = 0.359 ksi
f t/Ec = 0.00015 for seasonal craking
'
then f't = 0.539 ksi
Ec = Modulus of elasticity of concrete = 252671 kg/cm2 = 3594 ksi f'c= 280 kg/cm2
w= Maximum crack width at surface, in.
dc = Cover to center of bar, in.
A= Average effective area around a reinforcement bar (2 d c x spacing), in
Then:
w= 0.012 in = 0.30 mm (For concrete surface exposed to humidity, moist air or soil, ACI 224R, Table 4.1 recomend
dc = 2.953 in = 75 mm
Bars spacing = 7.874 in = 200 mm
A= 46.50 in2 = 300 cm2
fs = 30.12 ksi
