HORIZONTAL SHEAR AT H/2

HORIZONTAL SHEAR AT H/2

As for vertical shear, section in right half controls:

Vu = total factored shear force

= 1.3 ( ( S W + D L p r e c + T o p + D L c o m p ) + 1.67 ( L L ) ) = 1.3 ( ( 43.26 k ) + 9.57 k + 47.21 k + 17.10 k + 1.67 ( 80.70 k ) ) = 328.1 k
V n h V u ϕ = 328.1 k 0.90 = 364.6 k

Case (a): Contact surface is roughened.

V n h = 80 b v d = 80 × 42 × 76.25 1000 = 256.2 k < 364.6 k Art. 9.20.4.3(a)

Case (b): Minimum ties provided, contact surface not roughened.

V n h = 80 b v d = 80 × 42 × 76.25 1000 = 256.2 k Art. 9.20.4.3(b)
A v h min = 50 b v s f y = 50 × 42 × 12 60000 = 0.42 i n 2 / f t

If 0.42 in2/ft. of steel is provided, capacity of unroughened surface is 256.2K. Therefore, additional steel must be provided to increase capacity. For each percent of tie reinforcement crossing the contact surface in excess of minimum, Vnh may be increased by:

( 160 f y ) 40000 b v d

Surf = (12)(42) = 504.0 in2/ft.

1% = (.01)(504.0) = 5.04 in2/ft.

Consequently, if 5.04 in² of steel are provided, additional capacity is:

= ( 60 × 60000 40000 ) ( 42 ) ( 76.50 ) 1000 = 771.1 K

Additional capacity needed is: = 364.1K -256.2K = 107.9K

Therefore, additional steel needed is:

107.9 771.1 × 5.04 = 0.70 i n 2 / f t
A v h s m = 0.42 + 0.70 = 1.12 i n 2 ( s m o o t h c o n d i t i o n )

Case (c): Minimum ties provided, and contact surface roughened.

V n h = 350 b v d Art. 9.20.4.3(c)
= ( 350 ) ( 42 ) ( 76.25 ) 1000 = 1120.9 k < 364.6 k

If 0.42 in2/ft. of steel is provided, capacity of roughened surface is 1120.9K. Therefore, additional steel must be provided to increase capacity.

Additional capacity needed is = 364.6K -1120.9K = -756.3K

Additional capacity needed < 0, therefore no additional reinforcement is required

A v h r g = A v h min = 0.42 i n 2 / f t
S max 4 b b w o r 24 i n = 4 × 6 o r 24 = 24 i n Art. 9.20.4.5(a)

Therefore,

Smax = 24 in = maximum spacing of stirrups
