4. Calculate As = (K K)fcubd2 / 0.95fy(d d) 5. Calculate As = Kfcubd2 / 0.95fyz + As Choosing Reinforcement: Select the number & diameter of bars to provide an area not less than, and as close as practicable to, the calculated values of As and As. Specific Detailing Requirements: Check these requirements are met: 1. Min & max areas of rebar. 2. Number of bars in a bundle 4. 3. Spacing between bars.

Spacing Requirements (to control cracking): 1. Minimum requirements, between bundles of bars (hagg = max. aggregate size): Vertically: 2 hagg / 3 mm Horizontally: hagg + 5 mm 2. Maximum requirements: Horizontally (fy = 460 N/mm2): Diagonally (from corner of beam): Vertically (d 750 mm only): s1 160 mm s2 s1 / 2 mm s3 250 mm (sides of beam only)

2. Calculate the design concrete shear stress, vc, from: vc = 0.79(fcu /25)1/3 (100As /bvd)1/3(400/d)1/4/m Where: 100As /bvd 3 400/d 1 fcu /25 1 and fcu 40 N/mm2 3. Enhance the design concrete shear capacity for sections 2d to the support: enhanced vc = 2vcd/av 4. Calculate the required area of vertical shear links Asv, from: Asv = bvsv(v vc)/0.95fy Or calculate the maximum spacing for a given bar size (or Asv) from: sv = 0.95fy Asv / bv(v vc) Choosing Reinforcement: T or R bars may be used. Usual bar sizes are 8, 10, 12. Link spacing, sv, should be a multiple of 25 mm. Use the same bar size in a beam, just alter the spacing to accommodate differing strength requirements. Links can be provided across the full width of the beam, they do not have to be concentrated in the perimeter. Specific Detailing Requirements: Minimum area of shear links to be provided anywhere in a beam: Asv = 0.4bvsv / 0.95fy. Spacing of links 0.75d. Spacing of links should not be less than 100 mm, or 75 mm in exceptional circumstances for poker access to the concrete.
