Calculation of a Rib of a TT-shaped Floor Slab for Load-bearing Capacity under Lateral Forces

Objective: Check the mode for calculating reinforced concrete structures in the “Reinforced Concrete” postprocessor of SCAD

Task: Verify the correctness of the strength analysis of oblique sections and a concrete strip between the oblique sections.

References: Guide on designing of concrete and reinforced concrete structures made of heavy-weight concrete (no prestressing) (to SP 52-101-2003), 2005, p. 56-57.

Initial data file:

when the lateral force is Q = 62 kN – SCAD 12.1.SP. spr
report – SCAD 12.1.SP.doc.
when the lateral force is Q = 58,4 kN – SCAD 12.2.SP. spr
report – SCAD 12.2.SP.doc.

Compliance with the codes: SP 52-101-2003, SP 63.13330.2012. 

Initial data:

s = 100 mm Spacing of transverse reinforcement
q = 21,9  kN/m Load on the rib
q = 18  kN/m Temporary equivalent load
Q = 62 kN Lateral force on the support
Concrete class В15  
Class of transverse reinforcement А400
