If Vu is less than both criteria, the design passes, marked as 'Pass'; otherwise, it fails, indicated as 'Fail'. This ensures safe load distribution and compliance with structural guidelines .
The application ensures that the edge depth (hc) is at least 0.5 times the effective depth (d). This ratio ensures that the corbel maintains structural integrity and properly supports the loads applied along its depth. If this condition is met, it is marked as 'Satisfactory'; otherwise, 'Unsatisfactory' .
The assessment requires parameters such as concrete strength (fc), rebar yield stress (fy), factored shear load (Vu), factored tensile load (Nu), width (b), effective depth (d), overall depth (hd), shear span (a), edge depth (hc), the strength reduction factor (f), friction coefficient (m), and number of primary reinforcements (Nprimary). Additionally, the application specifies the use of closed stirrups and evaluates reinforcement using dimensions from a detailed rebar data set .
Closed stirrups' adequacy in the reinforcement is determined by comparing the provided closed reinforcements against the calculated requirements. It ensures that the shear friction reinforcement and additional details conform to the specifications. If the available reinforcement meets the calculated reinforcement or exceeds it, the structure is considered 'Satisfactory' .
The evaluation involves comparing provided horizontal reinforcement (Ah_provided) to the required reinforcement (Ah), which is derived as half of the ratio of provided main reinforcement (As) to required main reinforcement (An). If Ah_provided meets or exceeds Ah, the reinforcement is deemed 'Satisfactory'; otherwise, it is 'Unsatisfactory'. This approach ensures the horizontal reinforcement is adequate to resist lateral forces .
The application analyzes the reinforcement provisions by referencing a rebar data table listing bars with corresponding diameter and area properties. It assesses the quantity and size of these rebars to compare them against calculated reinforcements for tension, flexure, shear, and horizontal reinforcements. The selections ensure compliance with specified limits and structural integrity .
The application determines compliance by calculating the required shear friction reinforcement (Avfd) using the formula Avfd = Vu / (f * m * fy), where Vu is the factored shear load, f is the strength reduction factor, m is the friction coefficient, and fy is the rebar yield stress. The calculated Avfd must be compared to the provided reinforcement, and if the provided value exceeds or meets the calculated value, it is deemed 'Satisfactory' .
The application calculates the required reinforcement, An, to resist tension using the greater value between Nu / (f * fy) and 0.2 * Vu / (f * fy), where Nu is the factored tensile load, and Vu is the shear load. These computations ensure the reinforcement meets or exceeds requirements to handle tensile forces .
Flexure reinforcement is determined using the formula Af = (0.85 * b * d * fc) / (fy * (1 + 12 * (Mu / (b * d^2 * fc)))), where Mu represents the flexural moment and other variables like b (width), d (effective depth), fc (concrete strength), and fy (rebar yield stress) are involved. This ensures the section has sufficient capacity to resist bending moments .
The criteria involve ensuring that the calculated factored shear load (Vu) does not exceed the smaller value between Vu_1 = df * 0.2 * fc * b * d and Vu_2 = d0.8 * f * b * d. If Vu is less than or equal to the lesser of these calculated values, the section is considered 'Satisfactory'. Otherwise, it is deemed 'Unsatisfactory' .
