Design of cill upstand

CALCULATIONS OUTPUT

Design as cantilever beam

Design force, FEd = 175 kN
Eccentricity e = 300 mm
Width of corbel considered b = 200 mm
The beam vertical strut width is evaluated setting the compressive stress equal to
σ1Rd,max

= 58.33 mm
Node 1 is loacted at 29.17mm from the top of cill base
Lever arm, z = 0.8*d = 210.4 mm
y1 = 0.2*d = 52.6 mm
Rotational equilibrium :-

Fc =Ft = 274 kN
Node--1 verification

= 13 Mpa
< σ1Rd,Max, OK
Design of Main Reinfrocement
Area of main reinforcement, = 630 mm2

Mean value of axial tensile strength of concrete, = 3.5 MPa

Minimum area of reinforcement,
= 110 mm2
Spaicng of reinforcement provided = 150 mm
Area of reinforcement provided = 754 mm2 OK
Hence provide 12mm diameter bars at 150 c/c spacing as main reinforcement
Design of stirrups
a = ac +(x1/2) = 329 mm

= 124 kN

Area of stirrups, = 286 mm2

Minimum area of stirrups, Awmin = = 342 mm2

Number of shear legs provided = 2

Diameter of stirrups = 8 mm
Using 2 legged diameter stirrups, spacing = 250 mm
