JOB PUNCHING SHEAR CHECKING BKT 1

Punching shear analysis:

RC footing pad 350mm thick, d=300mm, is constructed with grade 30 concrete and
is reinforced with 7mm bars at 200mm centres one way and 7mm bars at
200mm centres in the other direction. Determine the maximum load that can
be carried on an area 250xmm, without exceeding the ultimate shear stress:

Take 1m width of slab band to analysis:

b= 200 mm d= 300 mm
a= 250 mm
fcu= 30 N/mm2
R 7 Spacing: 200 R 7 Spacing: 200
For R7-200 reinforcement
100As/(bd)= 100x3.14x3.5x3.5x(1000/200)/(200x300)= 0.32
For R7-200 reinforcement
100As/(bd)= 100x3.14x3.5x3.5x(1000/200)/(200x300)= 0.32

Average 100As/(bd)= (0.32+0.32)/2= 0.32

From table, nc= 0.48 N/mm 2

Punch shear perimeter:

2a+b+6d= 2x250+200+6x300= 2500 mm
maximum load N=nc x perimeter x d= 360000 N= 360 kN > 86.5 kN
Satisfied
At the face of loaded area, the shear stress:
n=N/((2a+2b)d)= 360000/((2x250+2x200)x300)= 1.33 N/mm2

which is less than 0.8fcu1/2= 4.38 N/mm2 and 5.0 N/mm2 Satisfied

For characteristic strengths other than 30N/mm2 the values in the table multiplied by
(fcu/25)1/3/1.06, the value of fcu should not be greater than 40N/mm2
