Corner Wall Design - Ramp

The document provides design calculations for the flexure of a ramp wall for a pumping station project in Basra, Iraq. It includes calculations of the required steel reinforcement area, depth to the neutral axis, stresses and strains on the reinforcement and concrete. Crack width calculations are also shown to check if the expected crack width meets allowable limits for water retaining structures. The calculated crack width of 0.26mm is less than the 0.3mm allowable limit for normal structures.

Ramp Wall Design - Corner Flexure ( Max Mx Ultimate )


Data:-
Design ultimate bending moment = M = 167.5 kN.m
Design service moment = Ms = 102.4 kN.m
Breadth of Cross-section = b = 1000.0 mm
Overall depth = h = 300.0 mm
Grade of concrete = fcu = 30.0 N/mm2
Grade of main steel = fy = 420.0 N/mm2
Clear cover = c = 50.0 mm
Elastic modulus of steel = Es = 2.10E+05 N/mm2
Elastic modulus of concrete = Ec = 2.46E+04 N/mm2
Solution:-
Effective depth = d = h-C - bar dia/2
= 240.0 mm
The ratio = k = M / bd2fcu
= 0.097
Lever arm = {Min of 0.95d & d[0.5+SQRT(0.25-k/0.9 ]} = z
= 210.5 mm
Area of steel required = (As)req. = M / 0.95fyz
= 1994.1 mm2

Minimum area of steel = (As)Min. = 0.13% bD


= 390.0 mm2
Maximum area of steel = (As)Max. = 4% bD
= 12000 mm2
T 20 @ 150
OKAY
Area of steel provided = (As)Prov. = 2094 mm 2
