3 PART 1 BASIC ASSUMPTIONS 1.1 GENERAL This memo deals with BSF used as beam-beam connections for continuous beams. Standard BSF-units and beam boxes are used. Reinforcement in the beam with the BSF knife is found in Memo 51. Therefore, only reinforcement related to the BSF beam-box is discussed. As the cross sections of the two connected beams will vary, there may be issues with the local force transfer in the end of the beam that is not covered by the examples given in this Memo. Therefore, the following calculations of anchorage of the units and the resulting reinforcement must be considered as an example to illustrate the calculation model. The EC- shall always be applied as the governing design document for the beam reinforcement. The information found here and in the memos assumes that the design of the elements and the use of the units in structural elements are carried out under the supervision of a structural engineer with knowledge about both the relevant standards, and the structural behaviour of concrete and steel structures. 1. STANDARDS The calculations are in accordance with: Eurocode : Design of concrete structures. Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings. Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures. Part 1-1: General rules and rules for buildings. Eurocode 3: Design of steel structures. Part 1-8: Design of joints. The selected values for the NDP s in the following calculations are: Parameter γ c γ s α cc α ct Value 1,5 1,15 0,85 0,85 Table 1: NDP-s in EC.

Note: For simplicity, good bond conditions are assumed when calculating f bd. This assumption may not be correct in all situations and has to be evaluated in each case. EC indicates poor bond conditions for anchoring in top of the beam. Reinforcement 500C (EN , Annex C): f f yk/γ s 500/1, MPa EC, Clause 3.. Note: Reinforcement steel of different qualities may be chosen provided that the calculations take into account the actual yield strength (f y 500 MPa) and that the bendability is sufficient for fitting the vertical suspension reinforcement to the half round steel.

6 1.5 LOADS Vertical ultimate limit state load: F V According to Table 5. Horizontal ultimate limit state load - in axial direction: F H0kN (see notes below) Horizontal ultimate limit state load - in transverse direction: F T0kN *Note on loads: The BSF beam box is a product designed to transfer primarily vertical load. Significant horizontal loading on the unit may also occur if imposed deformation (shrinkage, temperature differences etc.) in the pre-cast element is resisted. When the occurring horizontal force exceeds the potential friction force the knife will slide and the force will be partly relieved. The static friction factor steel-steel at support is assumed to be within the range (0,-0,5). The maximum friction force due to gradually increasing imposed deformations will however be associated with vertical service loads. The steel parts of the unit, and anchoring of these parts into the concrete are designed for the following unfavourable load combination: Vertical force 1,0F v + Horizontal force 0,3F v In some cases transfer of static global horizontal load via the unit may be requested. The magnitude of this force would be limited by the minimum friction factor at the support and vertical load present at the same time. This will imply uncertainty in resistance, and it s recommended to transfer the horizontal forces by proper reinforcement through the joint. In case of dynamic loads, the horizontal resistance should always be assumed to be zero. Horizontal anchoring of the steel parts assumes minimum concrete grade C35 in column and beam.

7 1.6 TOLERANCES The design nominal gap between two beams is 0mm, with a tolerance of ±10mm.The tolerances are handled with the cantilevering of the knife from the beam. If the gap is 30mm, the knife is pushed out an extra 10mm and vice versa if the gap is only 10mm. Thus, the load point in the beam box will always be the same. The knife shall always be pushed out until it bottoms against the back of the beam box. The tolerance on location of the reinforcement for the beam box is ±mm. Figure 1: Tolerances.

The knife will be in contact with the half round steel and the horizontal force is transferred by friction between the two steel parts. The half round steel is anchored with threaded bars. Page 11 of 41

12 The required dimension of threaded bar and machined thread lengths in the half round steel is found from Table 4..4 EVALUATION OF REINFORCEMENT IN THE END OF THE CONCRETE BEAM.4.1 STRUT AND TIE MODEL The beam box will be located in the upper part of the beam cross section. Compatibility in strains through the cross section implies that some of the force will bypass the half round steel and spread into the underlying concrete. This is illustrated with at strut and tie model in Figure 6. Horizontal force in compression strut: The horizontal force in the assumed compression strut must be anchored with horizontal reinforcement inwards from the beam end. For design purpose, the horizontal force may be thought of as smeared, giving horizontal force intensity towards the vertical end the beam: For the case of zb, the horizontal force per unit height of the beam becomes: 1/ F v/(z/) F v/z For the case of z3b, the horizontal force per unit height of the beam becomes: 1/3 F v/(z/3) F v/z The above evaluation illustrates that the force intensity towards the end of the beam always becomes F V/z. Thus, the intensity is depending on the beam height. Narrow stirrups (Just a bit wider than the half round steel) distributed just under the half round steel is recommended. It is important these stirrups are sufficient anchored inwards. Vertical force in compression strut: The vertical force in the compression strut will never exceed F v. When the ordinary beam shear reinforcement (designed for the shear force F v ) runs until the end of the beam, it will ensure integrity for the vertical force. Splitting force in transverse direction: Due to the shape of the half round steel, it is recommended always to include some reinforcement for splitting stress below the unit. This reinforcement may be designed according to EC clause Wide stirrups (as wide as the beam) distributed below the unit according to the recommendations may be applied. Page 1 of 41

14 .4. REINFORCEMENT IN TOP OF BEAM BOND AND ANCHORING As illustrated in Figure 7, drawing no. 1, the tension force at the top of the truss is one ahead of the compression force at the bottom of the truss. Proper anchoring of the reinforcement in top of the beam may conservatively be ensured at a distance z form the support. (This corresponds to a shift in the bending moment diagram a distance z; see also EC, clause and clause (7). Figure 7: Illustration. (Should be printed in colour) Page 14 of 41

15 The tension in the reinforcement at distance z from the support equals the tension force at support.
