    CE 015 04 Design For Serviceability

    Uploaded by

    DARIUS DAVE CRUZ
    This document discusses the principles of serviceability design for reinforced and prestressed concrete structures. Serviceability considers both deflections and cracking to ensure the structure can fulfill its intended uses. Deflections are calculated using moment of inertia methods accounting for cracking, while crack control involves limiting bar spacings and proper concrete curing. Together, deflection and crack control ensure acceptable displacements and widths to maintain structural serviceability over time.

    Design for Serviceability

    CE 015
    Principles of Reinforced/Prestressed
    Concrete
    Serviceability
    • Design of structural members are performed
    with considerations on both strength and
    serviceability.
    • Serviceability affects the ability of a structure
    to fulfill its intended uses or functions.
    Serviceability
    • Serviceability of concrete structures is
    measured by:
    – Deflections and displacements
    – Cracks
    – Vibrations
    – Other factors (e.g. concrete deterioration, rebar
    corrosion etc.)
    DEFLECTIONS
    Deflections
    • In design of RC beams, two types of
    deflections are considered and checked:
    – Immediate deflections (elastic deflections)
    – Long-term deflections (sustained-load deflections)
    Deflections
    • Immediate deflections are calculated using
    classical methods of structural analysis
    considering service loads.
    Deflections
    Deflections
    Deflections
    • Effective Moment of Inertia

    • Mcr: cracking moment of RC beam


    • Ig: gross moment of inertia of RC beam
    section
    • yt: distance from centroidal axis of gross
    section to extreme tension face
    • fr: modulus of rupture of concrete
    • Ma: maximum service-load moment at
    stage where deflection is calculated
    • Icr: cracked moment of inertia of the RC
    beam section
    Deflections
    • Transformed Sections for RC Beams
    – Concept: Since RC beams are composed of two
    materials (steel & concrete), to determine the
    actual moment of inertia of an RC section, it must
    be transformed to an equivalent section
    composed of a single material only (transformed
    section).
    Deflections
    Deflections
    • Modular Ratio
    – Ratio of moduli of elasticity of two materials
    present in a beam section
    – Stiffer material (i.e. material with higher E) is
    usually at the numerator.
    – RC: n = Es/Ec
    Deflections
    • Transformed Sections for RC Beams
    – Singly-Reinforced RC Beam Section
    Deflections
    • Transformed Sections for RC Beams
    – Doubly-Reinforced RC Beam Section
    Deflections
    • For beams with different beam sections (i.e.
    different rebar quantities) at different span
    locations (typical case for continuous beams):
    Sample Problem
    • Determine the cracked
    moment of inertia of the
    following RC beam section.
    Use f’c = 25 MPa. Assume
    positive bending. For
    conversion, use 1 in = 25
    mm.
    Sample Problem
    • Check if the maximum immediate
    deflection of a six-meter floor beam
    (modeled as simply-supported; not
    supporting any nonstructural
    element), with section given as
    shown, satisfies code provisions
    given in Table 424.2.2 of 2015 NSCP
    Vol. 1. Use f’c = 25 MPa. The beam
    is subjected to total uniform dead
    load of 20 kN/m (inc. beam weight)
    and total uniform live load of 35
    kN/m. For conversion, use 1 in = 25
    mm.
    Deflections
    • Long-Term Deflections
    Deflections
    • Long-Term Deflections
    Sample Problem
    • Calculate the long-term deflection for the
    beam given in the previous problem (Slide 17).
    Assume that the live load is 60% sustained for
    at least 5 years.
    CRACKS
    Types of Cracks
    Crack Control on RC Beams
    • Maximum Bar Spacings
    – Practice R.O.T.: “do not use a bar spacing larger
    than 9 inches (225 mm)”
    – Maximum acceptable crack widths range from
    0.004 in to 0.016 in
    – Refer to ACI 224R-01 (Control of Cracking of
    Concrete Structures) for more details.
    Crack Control on RC Beams
    Crack Control on RC Beams
    Sample Problem
    Crack Control on RC Beams
    Crack Control on RC Beams
    • Spacing of longitudinal rebars for RC beams
    should be between the minimum bar spacing
    set in Section 425.2 and the maximum bar
    spacing set in Table 424.3.2.
    SERVICEABILITY CONTROL
    Deflection Control
    • Camber
    – Normally done for beams with long spans and
    narrow cross-sections
    – Serves to counteract expected deflection
    Crack Control
    • Checking bar spacings
    • Proper treatment of concrete after pouring
    (curing)
    • Providing extra reinforcements on areas
    where cracking may happen first
