Paul Gregory Structural Engineer MSc MBA CEng MICE MIStructE pgregory@concretecentre.com The publication is available from and 2 nd Edition Feb 2018 Detailing introduction EC2 Outline Detailing introduction EC2 (BS EN 1992 Part 1-1) Crack control without direct calculation EC2 Ch 7.3 Anchorage and Laps EC2 Chapter 8.4 & 8.7 Detailing of Members EC2 Chapter 9 Resources The first part of the presentation will look at topics in EC2 that are relevant to detailing: Reinforcement EC2 cl 3.2 and Annex C Concrete cover EC2 cl Tension due to loading & tension due to restraint Confined concrete EC2 cl Strut and tie models EC2 cl Minimum spacing of bars EC2 cl 8.2 Reinforcement EC2: cl 3.2 Reinforcing steel EC2 applies to ribbed and weldable reinforcement. Reinforcement EC2: ANNEX C (Normative) Extract from Table C.1: Properties of reinforcement Design and detailing are valid for f yk = 400 to 600 MPa. f yk is the characteristic yield strength of reinforcement BS 4449 bars and BS 4483 fabric have adopted 500 MPa cold worked hot rolled seismic i.e In the UK f yk = 500 MPa Three classes of reinforcement A, B and C Difference is ductility C is more ductile than B At least a class B is required for max 30% redistribution of elastic BM s. 1

2 Reinforcement Question: a) How in the UK does the designer communicate to site what class of steel reinforcement is required? Reinforcement BS 8666 Scheduling, bending reinforcement Answer: a) Use the notation in BS 8666 Scheduling, bending reinforcement. e.g. H20 Question: b) What is written on the RC detail drawings if the designer wants class C reinforcement? Answer: b) C and the bar diameter. e.g. C20 For buildings the usual notation to use is H. e.g. H16 & the contractor has to supply either B or C class 500 MPa steel Concrete cover EC2: cl Nominal cover is specified on the drawings. Nominal cover, c nom = c min + c dev Concrete Cover Nominal cover, c nom = c min + c dev Nominal cover, c nom c min depends on durability (BS 8500) and bond (the bar diameter) Δc dev is an allowance for deviation & the recommended value is 10mm. Δc dev may be reduced in certain situations e.g. for a site quality assurance system Δc dev may be 5mm. Fire resistance tables can also affect the specified cover. The fire tables require that a nominal distance from the face of the section to the axis of the reinforcement is achieved. Procedure: Determine nominal cover for durability and bond and check that this gives the required axis distance. Minimum cover, c min c min = max {c min,dur ; c min,b ; 10 mm} Durability as per BS 8500 Bond φ Allowance for deviation, c dev 10 mm Recommended Tables in Section 5 of EC2 part 1-2 Axis distance, a Fire protection Tension due loading & Tension due to restraint Confined concrete EC2: Cl , Fig 3.6 Tension can occur due to loading e.g Simply supported beam & Cracks in the bottom f ck is the characteristic cylinder strength of concrete at 28 days Compressing the cylinder causes the diameter to increase in size. by restraining the free movement of a member e.g. wall panel with edge restraint. Wall panel edge restraint If the lateral expansion is prevented by confining the concrete the vertical compression strength will be greater than f ck and is f ck,c Standard cylinder test No confinement 2

3 Confined concrete EC2: Cl , Fig 3.6 Confinement of concrete results in higher strength. Confinement can be generated by adequately closed links. Anchorage bond stress depends on confinement of surrounding concrete EC2: Cl 6.6 (1). Affects anchorage coefficients α 3 & α 4. Transverse pressure can reduce anchorage lengths, EC2: Cl (3). e.g. bearing pressure. Affects anchorage coefficient α 5. Figure 3.6 Strut-and-tie models EC2: Cl & 6.5 Concise: Strut-and-tie models (STM) are trusses consisting of: struts ties nodes STM model for a deep beam STM is a lower bound plastic theory and can be used to analyse many concrete elements. STM is usually adopted to design non-standard elements such as: Pile caps Corbels Deep beams Any situation where normal beam theory does not apply Strut-and-tie models STM models help us understand: Variable strut inclination method for shear link design Why tension steel needs anchoring at a simple end support The shift rule for curtailment of longitudinal tension reinforcement EC2 cl (2) Shear force 21.8 < θ < 45 Strut-and-tie models STM models help us understand: The anchorage of bars F Shear Strut inclination method There is transverse tension Minimum spacing of bars EC2: Cl. 8.2 Concise: 11.2 Clear horizontal & vertical distance φ, (d g +5mm) or 20mm φ is the bar diameter d g is the maximum size of aggregate Outline Detailing introduction EC2 Crack control without direct calculation EC2 Ch 7.3 Anchorage and Laps EC2 Chapter 8.4 & 8.7 Detailing of Members EC2 Chapter 9 Detail Min 75 mm gaps in the top reinforcement to allow the concrete to be placed in the mould.

4 Crack Control Without Direct Calculation EC2: Cl For concrete in buildings the serviceability limit of cracking can be satisfied without the direct calculation of crack widths. The limiting value is w max. A procedure for crack control in buildings: Establish the limiting crack width, w max. Typical value is 0.3mm (see NA Table NA.4) for RC concrete in all exposure classes under the quasi-permanent load combination. Determine the minimum amount of reinforcement, A s,min, to control cracking in beams and slabs. EC2 cl (1) equation 9.1.N. For slabs depths 200mm or less containing A s,min no further measures to control cracking are required. EC2 cl (1). For other slabs and beams, determine the service stress in the reinforcement, σ s Control cracking by limiting the bar dia or bar spacing, EC2 Tables 7.2N & 7.3N. (σ s is an input to the tables) Crack control Design yield strength of reinforcement, f yd = f yk /1.15 Ultimate load combination, γ G G k + γ Q Q k = 500/ 1.15 = 435 MPa Design service load is the Quasi-permanent combination = G k + ψ 2 Q k Service stress is σ s =? Minimum Reinforcement Area EC2: Cl , Eq 9.1N The minimum area of reinforcement for slabs (and beams) is given by: 0.26fctm bt d As,min bt d fyk 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 Service stress, σ s Note: For cracking due to restraint use only max bar size Crack Control Without Direct Calculation EC2: Cl σ s Determination of Steel Stress Ratio G k /Q k = 8.5/4.0 = 2.13 x 1/δ δ is the redistribution ratio Example Check cracking in bottom of a slab.

Arrangement of laps should comply with Figure 8.7: In this ISO standard, the following verbal forms are used: shall indicates a requirement; Distance a is used in cl (3), Transverse reinf. should indicates a recommendation; may indicates a permission; can indicates a possibility or a capability. All bars in compression and secondary (distribution) reinforcement may be lapped in one section. Transverse Reinforcement at Laps Bars in tension Concise: Cl EC2: Cl , Fig 8.9 Transverse reinforcement is required in the lap zone to resist transverse tension forces. Any Transverse reinforcement provided for other reasons will be sufficient if the lapped bar Ø < 20mm or laps< 25% Transverse Reinforcement at Laps Bars in tension Concise: Cl EC2: Cl , Fig 8.9 Also, if the lapped bar Ø 20mm and more than 50% of the reinforcement is lapped at one point and the distance between adjacent laps at a section, a, 10φ, then transverse bars should be formed by links or U bars anchored into the body of the section. If the lapped bar Ø 20mm 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. Also it should be positioned at the outer sections of the lap as shown. F s ΣA st /2 l 0 /3 ΣA /2 st l 0 /3 150 mm F s l0 Figure 8.9 (a) - bars in tension 9
