Analysis of design for swimming pool

Determination of thickness and reinforcement required to resist bending moment in the

retaining wall component stem, toe, and hill.

Strain compatibility:

Es+ 0.003
a = 1
d

Let Es = 0.00785, 1=0.85

Then,

Design procedure:

1. Height of retaining structure:

Hr = 2 m6.56 ft .

2. Thickness of base:

Tf = 7% to 10% (150mm minimum) : 200mm

3.Design of stem:

Coefficient of lateral earth pressure

Ka = Tan2 (45+ /2)

Ka = Tan2 (45+ 28/2)

Ka = 2.77

Since the computed steel area is relatively small, use the minimum reinforcement for
shrinkage as specified by the NSCP code:

As = 0.0018bh

As = 0.0018(150)(2000)

As = 540mm2

Using 18mm diameter bar

N = 540/( )

N = 2.12

N = 2.12 say 3 pcs. 18mm reinforcing bar for every 500mm width.

4. Heel design

Flexure :

wu

Mu

vu

0.05

Wu = Wheel + Wfill

Wu = 1.2 (23.5)(0.5)(0.2) + 1.2 (15.89)(0.5)(2)

Wu = 21.89 kN / m

Mu = WL( L/2)

Mu = 21.89(0.5)(0.5 /2)

Mu = 2.74 kN.m
 Mu = AsFy (0.883 d2)

2.74x106 = 0.9 As (400) (0.883 (200)2)

As = 86.20 m2

Mu = H t/3 (earth pressure load factor ) (F1)

Mu = 2/3 (1.6)(88.03)

Mu = 93.90 kN.m

Hydrostatic force:

Fhydro = 1/2 (Ht 2 )

Fhydro = (2)2 (9.81)

Fhydro = 19.62 kN/m

Mu = H t/3 (hydrostatic pressure load factor ) (F1)

2
Mu = (1.6) (22.23 kN/m)
3

Mu = 23.84 kN.m

Resultant moment:

Mu = (earth pressure) (hydrostatic pressure)

Mu = (93.90kN.m) (23.84kN.m)

Mu = 70.07 kN.m

Mu = (0.85) fc ab (d a/2)

70.07x106 = (0.90)(0.85) (28) (0.883d2)(500)

D = 86.07 mm use 90mm

Calculate As, per 500mm width of wall

Mu = AsFyab (0.883 d2)

70.07x106 = As(400)(0.883x902)
 As = 24.71 mm2

Since the result of the steel area is relatively small, use the minimum reinforcement for
shrinkage as specified by the NSCP code.

Using 12mm reinforcing bar:

As = 0.0018bh

As = 0.0018(100)(2000)

As = 360mm2

122
N = 360/( )
4

N = 3.18

N = 3.18 say 4 pcs. 12mm reinforcing bar for every 1m width.

Shear:

Vu = Wu L

Vu = 21.89 (0.5)

Vu = 10.95 kN

Vu = 0.75 (1/6) fc bd
Vu = 0.75 (1/6) 28 (1000)(200)
Vu = 132287.57 N

V u 132287 .57
= = 66143.78 N

Vu = 10861 (21.89 x 200)

Vu = 6483 N

5. Shrinkage reinforcement for swimming pool flooring:

Using 12mm reinforcing bar:

As = 0.0018bh

As = 0.0018(150)(1000)
 As = 270mm2

122
N = 270/( )

N = 2.39

N = 2.39 say 3 pcs. 12mm reinforcing bar for every 1m width bothways.
