TITLE : DESIGN OF COREBELS (SEE BS 5.27)

I. Material Properties
fcu = 40 Mpa design strength of steel material (S 275)
fy = 460 Mpa reinforced steel design strength
Es = 200000 Mpa modulus of elasticity of steel
Ec = 12000 Mpa modulus of concrete (long term loading)

II. Section Properties 350mm x 400mm Reinforced Concrete Corbels

h = 750 mm Vy
h1 = 350 mm
h2 = 400 mm
L = 700 mm Vx length

Үm = 1.5 partial safety factors for safety of materials
∅m = 32 mm diameter of main reinforcement
∅l = 10 mm diameter of links
cc = 30 mm vertical distance of centroid of the section to nearest edge

III. Shear & Moments

Vx = 80 KN shear along x
Vy = 800 KN shear along y

III. Allowable Loads

a. Actual force

b. Steel Area FORCE STRAIN STRESS
Asreq = Ft/ (0.87*fy) = 1569.19 mm2 reinforcement required
As prov = n pi() d2/ 4 n = 2 pcs = 1608.5 mm2 reinforcement provided
As min = 0.16% bh = 480 mm2 < As prov Ok! minimum area of reinforcement (BS 3.12.5.4, Table 3.25)
As max = 4% bh = 12000 mm2 > As prov Ok! maximum area of reinforcement (BS 3.12.6.1)

c. Check for Shear (BS 3.4.5.2, Table 3.7)

p = 100 Asprov = 0.57
