Proportioning for Safety
• Prime Concern
“Balance External Actions with Internal Stress Resultants with
adequate margin for safety”
Sd >= FOS * Fa
• And Check for

– Deflections, Deformations, Vibrations, Crack Width
– Fire Protections, Permeability, Chemical Attacks
– Ductility and Other special considerations

• A = Actions due to loads •Limit State Design

Unifying Service State and Ultimate State
• General
• Section Capacity based on location of neutral
axis, strain compatibility and equilibrium of stress
resultants and actions
• Service State Calculations

• Neutral axis depth controlled by limit on concrete
(or steel) stresses directly
• Ultimate State Calculations

• Neutral axis depth controlled by limit on strain in
concrete (or in steel) and indirect control on
material stresses
ACECOMS AIT
AIT -- Thailand
Thailand

General Procedure for Computing Capacity
• Assume Strain Profile

f c(e)
– Assume a specific angle of neutral axis e
N.A
– Assume a specific depth of neutral axis F bi
– Assume maximum strain and determine the F pj
strain in concrete, re-bars, strands, and steel

from the strain diagram
• Determine the stress in each component
from the corresponding stress-strain
Relationship
• Calculate stress-resultant of each component
• Calculate the total stress resultant of the
section by summation of stress resultant of
individual components

Shear - Torsion Theories
• Major Issues
– No unified Theory Yet
– Several Interactions
• Shear & Torsion, Shear & Moment, Shear & Load, Torsion & Moment
– Effect of Confinement, Flexural Reinforcement, Hoops
• Current Approaches
– Solid Mechanics (principle stress, Mohr's circle)
– Truss Mechanism, Strut and Tie, diagonal tension
– Compression Field Theories
– Arch action, dowel action, Fracture Mechanics, aggregate interlock and
other considerations

Shear Stress and Concrete Sections
• Shear stress contributes to principle stresses

• In the absence of direct compressive stress:
– One of the principle stress will be tension
– Concrete does not take much tensions
– So concrete can not resist much shear stress
– Hence concrete alone can not resist much shear force or torsion
• Shear and torsion capacity of concrete section is therefore

primarily governed by the tension capacity of concrete

• Compute Vc and Tc based on Diagonal Tension

• Optional: Consider Interaction of V + T + M + P for computing Vc
• Compute reinforcement for Vs = V-Vc and for Ts = T-Tc
• Limit the maximum Shear/ Torsion stresses on concrete Compression

Strut and Tie Approach
Basic Concept
• The section is fully cracked
• Concrete takes no tension
• All Compression is taken by “Struts”
• All Tension is taken by “Ties”
• “Ties and Struts “ provide a stable mechanism
• It is a “Lower Bound” Solution
Application
• Post –cracking Shear Behavior and Design
• Design of Deep Beam and Shear Walls
• Design of Corbels, Brackets, Joints

Not OK: Too Shallow

Angle = 18 Deg Effect of Strut Angle

OK: Most Ecconomical
Angle < 30 Deg.

Too shallow, tension steel
Angle = 34 Deg
not economical, strut too
long, anchorage difficult
OK: USed by ACI Code
Angle 35 - 45 Deg
Gives the most economical
Angle = 45 Deg
and realistic design
NOT OK: Too Steep and Expensive Angle > 50 Deg.

Too steep. Requires too
much stirrups. Not good.

Behavior for Shear and Torsion
Pure Torsion produces constant

“Shear Flow” around the cross-
section outer skin.
Shear and
Torsion may
produce Un-
even Shear Flow

Simplified Behavior for Torsion – RC Beam

of concrete section

Simplified Behavior for Torsion – RC Beam
The shear flow in a steel tube embedded in a

concrete section is concentrated in the steel
tube. This observation is relevant to concrete
sections with hoop reinforcement, where
almost the entire torsion is resisted by the
reinforcement.
