C10. Longitudinal Shear Reinforcement Design C10.1 Introduction This section is concerned with the design of reinforcement in the vicinity of the shear studs that is necessary to control potential longitudinal shear failure adjacent these studs. It could be regarded as being part of the slab design or the beam design or even could be considered as part of connection design. The phenomenon of longitudinal shear failure in composite slabs is likely to be relatively foreign to engineers who have not previously worked with composite structures. The simplest form of longitudinal shear failure is illustrated below. Note that this shows a trapezoidal deck that is specifically excluded from the applicability of AS2327.1. It is shown here because it is easier to visualise longitudinal shear issues using this decking form. The potential concrete flange to the steel beam - provided that the force F c can be carried into it by the shear stress spreading out from the shear stud Potential longitudinal crack on the plane of weakness associated with the rib Spread of shear force into the beam flange The shape of the profiled decking gives rise to longitudinal planes of weakness where the shear stress carrying the compression to the width of the flange becomes concentrated. A shear plane of this sort is defined in AS2327.1 Figure 9.4.1 as being a Type 1 shear plane. This form of failure is most likely to be critical for a primary beam as shown above. For secondary beams with the ribs perpendicular to the beam there is no plane of weakness but the same form of failure may still develop through the full depth of the slab. As this form of failure goes right through the depth of the slab then it will be controlled by both top and bottom reo (if present) running perpendicular to the beam and thus passing across the shear plane. Shown below are Type 2 and Type 3 shear planes to AS2327.1. Note that these failure planes run below the level of the top reo. They will only be controlled by bottom reinforcement (if present). These forms of shear failure may again affect both primary and secondary beams but are most likely to be critical for primary beams with the ribs running parallel to the beams. Type 2 Type 3 Type 3 composite design example for multistorey steel framed buildings 81

The most difficult to visualise form of longitudinal shear failure is called a Type 4 shear failure. Refer to AS2327.1 Figure 9.4.1 for an illustration of this form of failure. A type 4 shear failure will only affect an edge beam where the ribs are perpendicular to the beam. A type 4 shear plane effectively initiates at the free edge of the slab just above the ribs and extends inwards. When it reaches the shear studs the shear plane deviates upwards to pass over the top of the shear studs and then returns to the level of the top of the ribs. The first line of defence against this form of failure is the requirement of AS2327.1 Figure 3.1.4 that the slab outstand must extend 150 beyond the face of the nearest shear stud. For the current design this distance is 200. The difficulty with a type 4 failure plane is that it manages to avoid both the top and bottom reo. Neither top nor bottom reo will cross the shear plane and thus will not control this type 4 failure. A special form of mesh called Deckmesh has been developed specifically to control this form of failure as discussed in the next section. Generally Deckmesh or equivalent should be used at slab edges for all edge beams where the ribs are perpendicular to the beam such as beams B19, 20, 21 and B49, 50 and 51. AS2327.1 does not provide a design method to assess the Type 4 failure but rather provides a prescriptive definition of the requirements for all edge beams with perpendicular ribs. The capacity of a composite slab to resist Type 1, Type 2 and Type 3 longitudinal shear failure is assessed using the so called shear friction method with the shear capacity given as: φv L = φ[u ( 0.36 f c 0.5 ) + 0.9 A sv f yr ] But not greater than φ0.32f c u With u = the perimeter of the shear plane as viewed in cross section through the beam A sv = the area of reinforcement that passes from one side of the shear plane to the other f yr = the yield strength of the reinforcement A sv In the equation for φv L, the first term may be thought of as the cohesion or chemical component and relates to the tensile strength of the concrete. The second term in the equation is the friction component with a coefficient of friction of 0.9 across the failure plane. The logic is that in order for longitudinal slip to develop at the shear plane, it will be necessary to pull the concrete apart across the shear plane to disengage aggregate interlock. In order to pull the two planes apart, it will be necessary to apply a force equal to the tensile capacity of the reinforcement that crosses the plane. That is the friction resistance assessed using the normal law of dry friction is μn where the coefficient of friction μ = 0.9 and the normal force N = A sv f yr. In accordance with AS2327.1 the following represents basic requirements for longitudinal shear reinforcement. In accordance with AS2327.1 Clause 9.7.2, all beams require longitudinal shear reinforcement with a minimum cross sectional area of 0.5 x 800 x u / f yr mm 2 / m (refer later examples). This reinforcement is to be placed directly on top of the decking ribs. The minimum width of this reinforcement is to satisfy the requirements of Clause 9.7.3. In accordance with AS2327.1 Clause 9.8.1, all edge beams with the sheeting perpendicular to the beam require special longitudinal shear reinforcement complying with the requirements of Clause 9.8.2. (There is a possible exception where the slab outstand is greater than 600.) All beams must be checked for longitudinal shear reinforcement requirements for Type 1 shear planes. As a Type 1 shear plane extends from top to bottom of slab, both top and bottom reinforcement will reinforce against a Type 1 shear failure. All beams must be checked for longitudinal shear reinforcement requirements for Type 2 shear planes. As a Type 2 shear plane does not extend to the top of the slab, only bottom reinforcement placed a minimum of 30 mm below the top of the shear studs is considered to resist against a Type 2 shear failure. composite design example for multistorey steel framed buildings 82

Beams with the decking ribs parallel to the beam must be checked for longitudinal shear reinforcement requirements for Type 3 shear planes. As a Type 3 shear plane does not extend to the top of the slab, only bottom reinforcement placed a minimum of 30 mm below the top of the shear studs is considered to resist against a Type 2 shear failure. C10.2 Proprietory longitudinal shear reinforcement products To suit the particular requirements of reinforcement for longitudinal shear, various reinforcement products have been developed. One set of such products is offered by Onesteel. Refer to the Onesteel website (http://www.onesteel.com) and navigate through Product navigation / Onesteel products / Reinforcing steels / Other mesh / Deck mesh. And download the Shear reinforcement brochure. The products relevant to the use of Bondek are Studmesh and Deckmesh. Deckmesh is intended to satisfy the requirements of AS2327.1 for Type 4 longitudinal shear failure. It is also referred to as waveform because of its particular form that is required to intersect the Type 4 shear planes. Onesteel offers two weights of Deckmesh called DM200 and DM300. At the time of developing this text, Onesteel were recommending the use of Deckmesh DM200 for use in Bondek slabs. As previously discussed Deckmesh (or equivalent) is required for all edge beams where the ribs run perpendicular to the beam. Studmesh is a simple flat rectangular mesh rather similar to trenchmesh but with the larger diameter wires running across the width of the mesh. Studmesh is intended to be laid directly on top of the decking ribs to provide bottom reinforcement to reinforce across the Type 2 and Type 3 shear planes. Studmesh together with the top reinforcement will also reinforce against Type 1 failures. Studmesh comes in two forms. Studmesh SMS is intended for internal beams and is 600 wide providing for anchorage on either side of the beam. SMU is intended for edge beams. It is 500 wide with the main cross wires formed into a U shape to achieve anchorage for edge beams that are closer than 300 to an edge. Studmesh comes in a range of weights to suit the calculated reinforcement requirements for Type 1, 2 and 3 shear planes. All studmesh products consist of 10 mm Grade 500 main cross wires at variable centres and 6 mm longitudinal (distribution) wires at 300 centres. The nomenclature is for example SMS100 referring to Studmesh with the main 10 mm wires at 100 centres. The Studmesh U mesh is provided in a more limited range of sizes. In the following table A sp.b is the cross sectional area of the main wires at right angles to the beam in mm 2 /m. SMS 100 150 200 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 600 A sp.b 800 533 400 320 266 228 200 177 160 143 133 SMU 200 300 400 500 600 A sp.b 800 533 400 320 266 ` Spacing Spacing 600 500 Plan view Studmesh SMS(Spacing) Plan view Studmesh SMU(Spacing) In addition to providing a sufficient area of reinforcement, AS2327.1 Clause 9.7.1 also requires that the main transverse wires should be located not more than s c / 2 from each stud (where s is the stud spacing). This will generally mean that a minimum of SMS400 should be used for beams with studs at 400 centres and SMS200 for beams with studs at 200 centres (or SMU400 and SMU200 for edge beams). composite design example for multistorey steel framed buildings 83
