In this verification example the punching shear resistance of an inner column of a flat slab is examined. The column has a circular secton with a 30cm diameter.
A reinforced concrete beam is designed as a two-span beam with a cantilever. The cross-section varies along the length of the cantilever (tapered cross-section). The internal forces, the required longitudinal and shear reinforcement for the ultimate limit state are calculated.
In this example, the shear at the interface between concrete cast at different times and the corresponding reinforcement are determined according to DIN EN 1992-1-1. The obtained results with RFEM 6 will be compared to the hand calculation below.
An inner column in the first floor of a three-story building is designed. The column is monolithic connected with the top and bottom beams. The fire design simplified method A for columns according to EC2-1-2 is than proofed and the results compared to [1].
Determine the required strengths and effective length factors for the ASTM A992 material columns in the moment frame shown in Figure 1 for the maximum gravity load combination, using LRFD and ASD.
An ASTM A992 W-shaped member is selected to carry a dead load of 30.000 kips and a live load of 90.000 kips in tension. Verify the member strength using both LRFD and ASD.
An ASTM A992 14×132 W-shaped column is loaded with the given axial compression forces. The column is pinned top and bottom in both axes. Determine whether the column is adequate to support the loading shown in Figure 1 based on LRFD and ASD.
An ASTM A992 W 24×62 beam with end shears of 48.000 and 145.000 kips from the dead and live loads, respectively, is shown in Figure 1. Verify the available shear strength of the selected beam, based on LRFD and ASD.
Using AISC Manual tables, determine the available compressive and flexural strengths and whether the ASTM A992 W14x99 beam has sufficient available strength to support the axial forces and moments shown in Figure 1, obtained from a second-order analysis that includes P-𝛿 effects.
