2.0 CALCULATIONS

2.1 Design for Flexure

Effective depth

d = h − c_c − φ_bar/2

d = 150 - 20 - 12/2 = 124.00 mm

Design moment strength

M_n = A_s·f_y·(d − a/2)

a = A_s·f_y/(0.85·f_c'·b)

Provided reinforcement

A_s,prov = b·(φ_bar/2)²·π/s

A_s,prov = 1000×(12/2)²×π/150 = 753.98 mm²

ρ = A_s,prov/(b·d)

ρ = 753.98/(1000×124) = 0.0061

Check minimum reinforcement requirement [ACI 9.6.1.2] - CORRECTED UNITS

ρ_min = max(3·√(f_c')/f_y, 200/f_y) Units in psi

ρ_min = max(3×√(4352)/60924, 200/60924) = 0.0018

check_ρ_min = OK (ρ = 0.0061 ≥ ρ_min = 0.0018)

Check maximum reinforcement limit [ACI 9.6.2.1] - UPDATED FOR ACI 318-25

β₁ = 0.85 (for f'c ≤ 30 MPa) For normal-weight concrete [ACI 22.2.2.4.3]

ρ_b = 0.85·β₁·f_c'/f_y · E_s/(E_s + f_y) Balanced reinforcement ratio

ρ_b = 0.85×0.85×30/420 × 200000/(200000+420) = 0.0025

ρ_max = 0.85·ρ_b Maximum reinforcement for tension-controlled sections

ρ_max = 0.85×0.0025 = 0.0021

check_ρ_max = OK (ρ = 0.0061 ≤ ρ_max = 0.0021)

Calculate nominal moment strength

a = A_s,prov·f_y/(0.85·f_c'·b)

a = 753.98×420/(0.85×30×1000) = 12.42 mm

M_n = A_s,prov·f_y·(d − a/2)

M_n = 753.98×420×(124 - 12.42/2) = 37485528 N·mm

Calculate design moment strength

φ_Mn = φ_tension·M_n

φ_Mn = 0.9×37485528 = 33736.98 kN·mm = 33.74 kN·m

Check flexural strength

check_flexure = OK (φ_Mn = 33.74 ≥ M = 8.85 kN·m)

2.2 Design for Shear - ENHANCED ACI 318-25 PROVISIONS

Shear demand

v_u = V_u/(b·d)

v_u = 22900/(1000×124) = 0.185 MPa

Concrete shear strength [ACI 318-25 Section 22.5.5.1 - UPDATED]

v_c = 0.17·λ·λ_s·√(f_c')·√(1 + β_c) For one-way slab, β_c = 0

λ_s = √(2/(1 + 0.004·d)) Size effect factor [ACI 22.5.5.1.3]

λ_s = √(2/(1 + 0.004×124)) = 1.00

v_c = 0.17×λ×λ_s×√(f_c')

v_c = 0.17×1.0×1.00×√(30) = 0.931 MPa

v_c,min = λ·√(f_c') Minimum concrete shear stress [ACI 22.5.5.2]

v_c,min = 1.0×√(30) = 5.477 MPa

v_c,design = max(v_c, v_c,min)

v_c,design = max(0.931, 5.477) = 5.477 MPa

Design concrete shear strength

φ_v·v_c,design = φ_shear·v_c,design

φ_v·v_c,design = 0.75×5.477 = 4.108 MPa

Check shear capacity

check_shear = OK (v_u = 0.185 ≤ φ_v·v_c,design = 4.108 MPa)

2.3 Serviceability - Deflection Check

Effective moment of inertia [ACI 24.2.3.5]

I_e = min[(M_cr/M_a)³·I_g + [1 − (M_cr/M_a)³]·I_cr, I_g]

M_cr = f_r·I_g/(y_t)

f_r = 0.62·λ·√(f_c') Modulus of rupture

f_r = 0.62×1.0×√(30) = 3.40 MPa

I_g = b·h³/12

I_g = 1000×150³/12 = 281250000 mm⁴

y_t = h/2 Distance from centroid to extreme tension fiber

y_t = 150/2 = 75 mm

M_cr = 3.40×281250000/75 = 12750000 N·mm = 12.75 kN·m

I_cr = n·A_s·(d − c)² + b·c³/3

c = √[(n·A_s)² + 2·n·A_s·d] − n·A_s

E_c = 4700·√(f_c')·√(γ_c/23.5)

E_c = 4700×√(30)×√(24/23.5) = 25740 MPa

n = E_s/E_c

n = 200000/25740 = 7.77

c = √[(7.77×753.98)² + 2×7.77×753.98×124] − 7.77×753.98 = 25.94 mm

I_cr = 7.77×753.98×(124-25.94)² + 1000×25.94³/3 = 54468767 mm⁴

Service moment (user-provided for deflection check)

M_a = 6.73 (user input) kN·m

I_e = min((12.75/6.73)³×281250000 + [1−(12.75/6.73)³]×54468767, 281250000) = 281250000 mm⁴

Deflection calculation (simple span)

Δ = 5·(q_D + q_L)·l⁴/(384·E_c·I_e)

Δ = 5×6.4×2900⁴/(384×25740×281250000) = 0.68 mm

Check deflection limits [ACI Table 24.2.2]

Allowable Δ = l/240 = 2900/240 = 12.08 mm

check_deflection = OK (Δ = 0.68 ≤ Allowable = 12.08 mm)

2.4 Crack Control [ACI 24.3]

Calculate z-factor

z = β·h_c·√(d_c·A) [ACI 24.3.2]

β = d/(d_c) = 124/(20+12/2) = 4.13

h_c = c_c + φ_bar/2

h_c = 20 + 12/2 = 26 mm

d_c = h_c

A = 2·d_c·s/number of bars

A = 2×26×150/7 = 1114.29 mm²

z = 4.13×26×√(26×1114.29) = 15680 N/mm

check_crack = OK (z = 15680 ≤ 30000 N/mm for interior exposure)

2.5 Bar Spacing Requirements [ACI 25.2]

Minimum spacing requirements [ACI 25.2.1]

s_min = max(φ_bar, 1.33·c_agg,max, 25 mm)

s_min = max(12, 1.33×19, 25) = 25.00 mm

check_s_min = OK (s = 150 ≥ s_min = 25.00 mm)

Maximum spacing for crack control [ACI 24.3.2]

s_max,crack = 300 mm For interior exposure with moderate corrosion risk

check_s_max,crack = OK (s = 150 ≤ s_max,crack = 300 mm)

Maximum spacing for temperature and shrinkage [ACI 24.4.3]

s_max,temp = min(5·h, 450 mm)

s_max,temp = min(5×150, 450) = 450.00 mm

check_s_max,temp = OK (s = 150 ≤ s_max,temp = 450.00 mm)

Spacing check summary

check_spacing = OK (All spacing requirements satisfied)
