6 Reinforcement EC2 does not cover the use of plain or mild steel reinforcement Principles and Rules are given for deformed bars, decoiled rods, welded fabric and lattice girders. EN provides the performance characteristics and testing methods but does not specify the material properties. These are given in Annex C of EC2 Properties of reinforcement (Annex C) Product form Bars and de-coiled rods Wire Fabrics Class A B C A B C Characteristic yield strength f yk or f 0,2k (MPa) cold worked 400 to 600 hot rolled seismic k = (f t /f y ) k 1,05 1,08 1,15 <1,35 1,05 1,08 1,15 <1,35 Characteristic strain at maximum force, ε uk (%) 2,5 5,0 7,5 2,5 5,0 7,5 Fatigue stress range (N = 2 x 10 6 ) (MPa) with an upper limit of 0.6f yk The UK has chosen a maximum value of characteristic yield strength, f yk, = 600 MPa, but 500 MPa is the value assumed in BS 4449 and 4483 for normal supply.

10 Health & Safety Potential Risk factor Low Medium High High Risk 33,51,56,63,64 & 99? SC Detail Comment Designer Fabricator Sausage Link. Health and safety risk is high with larger diameter bar. Also the risk increases with small dimensions. When bent on an automatic link bender with small diameter bars the risk is relatively low. When bending on a manual bender the risk is high, especially with larger diameters and non standard formers. Boot Link. Greater risk than shape code 51 as the bars have to cross over twice to achieve the shape. Health and safety risk becomes higher with larger diameter bar. Also the risk increases with small dimensions. See Note SN2. When bent on an automatic link bender with small diameter bars the risk is relatively low. When bending on a manual bender the risk is higher, especially with larger diameters. This shape is designed for producing small to medium sized links in small diameter bar. Do not detail this shape in large diameter bar, try to use an alternative (eg. 2 no. shape code 13 s facing each other to create a shape code 33). See Note SN2. Smaller diameter bars cause less of a problem as they can often be produced on an automatic link bending machine. Larger diameter bars have to be produced on a manual power bender with the potential to trap the operator s fingers. Try to avoid/minimise the use of shapes which cause a scissor action, especially with larger diameter bars. See Note SN2. Great care should be taken when bending this shape. If the operator has concerns when producing this shape he should consult his supervisor. Bending Minimum Bending & projections Minimum Bends 6mm - 16mm = 2x Dia Internal 20mm - 50mm = 3.5x Dia Internal Minimum of 4 x dia between bends End Projection = 5 x Dia from end of bend BS8666, Table 2

11 Tolerances (not in EC2 BS8666) Minimum Cover for Bond For bars: Bar diameter For post-tensioned tendons: Circular ducts: Duct diameter Rectangular ducts: The greater of: the smaller dimension or half the greater dimension For pre-tensioned tendons: 1.5 x diameter of strand or wire 2.5 x diameter of indented wire

12 Structural Fire Design BS EN Scope: Part 1-2 Structural fire design gives several methods for fire engineering Tabulated data for various elements is given in section 5 Reinforcement cover Axis distance, a, to centre of bar a = c + φ m /2 + φ l a Axis Distance Allowance in Design for Deviation c dev : Allowance for deviation = 10mm A reduction in c dev may be permitted: for a quality assurance system, which includes measuring concrete cover, 10 mm c dev 5 mm where very accurate measurements are taken and non conforming members are rejected (eg precast elements) 10 mm c dev 0 mm

13 Nominal Cover Nominal cover, c nom Minimum cover, c min c min = max {c min,b ; c min,dur ; 10 mm} Allowance for deviation, c dev Axis distance, a Fire protection Procurement Lead-in times should be 4 weeks for rebar Express reinforcement (and therefore expensive) 1 7 days The more complicated the scheduling the longer for bending

14 Standard Detailing Practicalities 12m maximum length H20 to H40 (12m H40 = 18 stone/ 118Kg) Health & safety 9m maximum length H16 & H12 6m maximum length H10 & H8 Transport Fixing Control of Cracking EC2: Cl. 7.3 In Eurocode 2 cracking is controlled in the following ways: Minimum areas of reinforcement cl & Equ 7.1 A s,min σ s = k c kf ct,eff A ct this is the same as Crack width limits (Cl and National Annex). These limits can be met by either: direct calculation (Cl ) crack width is W k Used for liquid retaining structures deemed to satisfy rules (Cl ) Note: slabs 200mm depth are OK if A s,min is provided.

15 Minimum Reinforcement Area EC2: Cl , Eq 9.1N The minimum area of reinforcement for slabs (and beams) is given by: A s,min 0.26f f ctm yk bt d b d t Crack Control Without Direct Calculation EC2: Cl Provide minimum reinforcement. Crack control may be achieved in two ways: limiting the maximum bar diameter using Table 7.2N limiting the maximum bar spacing using Table 7.3N Note: For cracking due to restraint use only max bar size

16 Spacing of bars EC2: Cl. 8.2 Clear horizontal and vertical distance φ, (d g +5mm) or 20mm For separate horizontal layers the bars in each layer should be located vertically above each other. There should be room to allow access for vibrators and good compaction of concrete. Ultimate bond stress EC2: Cl The design value of the ultimate bond stress, f bd = 2.25 η 1 η 2 f ctd where f ctd should be limited to C60/75 η 1 =1 for good and 0.7 for poor bond conditions η 2 = 1 for φ 32, otherwise (132- φ)/100 Direction of concreting Direction of concreting α 250 a) 45º α 90º c) h > 250 mm Direction of concreting Direction of concreting h 300 h b) h 250 mm d) h > 600 mm unhatched zone good bond conditions hatched zone - poor bond conditions

17 Basic required anchorage length EC2: Cl l b,rqd = (φ / 4) (σ sd / f bd ) where σ sd is the design stress of the bar at the position from where the anchorage is measured. For bent bars l b,rqd should be measured along the centreline of the bar Design Anchorage Length, l bd EC2: Cl l bd = α 1 α 2 α 3 α 4 α 5 l b,rqd l b,min However: (α 2 α 3 α 5 ) 0.7 l b,min > max(0.3l b,rqd ; 10φ, 100mm)

27 Transverse Reinforcement Lapping of bars F tanθ F θ F tanθ F/2 F/2 F There is transverse tension reinforcement required Transverse Reinforcement at Laps Bars in tension EC2: Cl , Fig 8.9 only if bar Ø 20mm or laps > 25% Where the diameter, φ, of the lapped bars 20 mm, the transverse reinforcement should have a total area, ΣA st 1,0A s of one spliced bar. It should be placed perpendicular to the direction of the lapped reinforcement and between that and the surface of the concrete. If more than 50% of the reinforcement is lapped at one point and the distance between adjacent laps at a section is 10 φ transverse bars should be formed by links or U bars anchored into the body of the section. The transverse reinforcement provided as above should be positioned at the outer sections of the lap as shown below. F s ΣA /2 st l 0 /3 ΣA /2 st l 0 /3 150 mm F s l 0

28 Beams EC2: Cl. 9.2 A s,min = 0,26 (f ctm /f yk )b t d but 0,0013b t d A s,max = 0,04 A c Section at supports should be designed for a hogging moment 0,25 max. span moment Any design compression reinforcement (φ) should be held by transverse reinforcement with spacing 15 φ Beams EC2: Cl. 9.2 Tension reinforcement in a flanged beam at supports should be spread over the effective width (see )

29 Shear Design: Links EC2: Cl Variable strut method allows a shallower strut angle hence activating more links. As strut angle reduces concrete stress increases V s V z d θ z d x Angle = 45 V carried on 3 links x Angle = 21.8 V carried on 6 links Short Shear Spans with Direct Strut Action EC2: Cl (8) d d a v a v Where a v 2d the applied shear force, V Ed, for a point load (eg, corbel, pile cap etc) may be reduced by a factor a v /2d where 0.5 a v 2d provided: The longitudinal reinforcement is fully anchored at the support. Only that shear reinforcement provided within the central 0.75a v is included in the resistance. Note: see PD6687-1:2010 Cl 2.14 for more information.

Transverse pressure may only be taken into account with a direct support.

34 Particular rules for flat slabs Distribution of moments EC2: Table I.1 Particular rules for flat slabs EC2: Cl. 9.4 Arrangement of reinforcement should reflect behaviour under working conditions. At internal columns 0.5A t should be placed in a width = 0.25 panel width. At least two bottom bars should pass through internal columns in each orthogonal directions.
