British Verification Problem 1

Reference

Reinforced Concrete by T.J.Macgingley & B.S.Choo, Page 333 and Example: 11.1.

Problem
A column 400mm X 400mm carries a dead load of 800 kN and an imposed load of 300 kN. The safe bearing pressure is 200 kN/m 2 . Design a square base to resist the loads. The concrete is grade 35 and the reinforcement is grade 460.

Figure 7.3 Size of base: Self-weight of footing = 2.5 x 2.5 x 0.5 x 25 = 78.125 kN. Therefore, Service load = Dead load + Imposed load + Self weight = (800 + 300 + 78.125) kN = 1178.125 kN. Area required = 1178.125 / 200 m 2 = 5.890625 m 2 . Make the base 2.5 m x 2.5 m. Moment Steel: Ultimate load = (1.4 x 800) + (1.6 x 300) = 1600 kN. Ultimate pressure = 1600 / (2.5 x 2.5) = 256 kNm 2 The critical section YY at the column face is shown in Figure 6.1. M YY = 256 x (2.5 / 2 - 0.4 / 2) x 2.5 x 0.525 = 352.8 kNm. Try an overall depth of 500 mm with 20 mm bars. Effective depth = 500 40 20 10 = 430 mm.

Therefore z = 0.95d,

. = 1976.31 mm2. Minimum area of steel = 0.0015 x B x d = 0.0012 x 2500 x 430 = 1625 mm 2 < A S (Hence Safe) Let us provide 10 nos. 16 mm bars, A S = 2010.62 mm 2 . One Way Shear: The critical section Y 1 Y 1 at d = 430 mm from the face of the column is shown in Figure 6.2. Design shear force, V U = 256 x (2.5 /2 0.43 0.4 / 2) x 2.5 = 396.8 kN

Design shear stress, v = Now, v C1 = min(0.8

=0.369 N/mm 2 ,5) = 4.7328 N/mm 2 > v (Hence Safe)

= 0.395 N / mm 2 > v (Hence Safe) Hence no shear reinforcement is required. Punching Shear: Punching shear is checked on a perimeter 1.5d = 625.5 mm from the column face. The critical perimeter is shown in Figure 6.3. Perimeter = 1690 x 4 = 6760 mm. Shear = 256 x (2.5 2 1.69 2 ) = 868.8 kN.

v=

= 0.3 N / mm 2 < V C (Hence Safe).

Hence no shear reinforcement is required. Spacing: We provided 10 nos. 16 mm bars, A S = 2010.62 mm 2 .
