Hi BentEng,
Thank you for your reply. What you are saying makes sense that we can’t have two sides fixity 0.7 just from the slab. However, I looked at commentary and it says that that figure is just an approximation where fixed ends are allowed a bit of rotation. That is why I used the...
aah yep that makes sense. I have done some calcs and tried to make it work without taking any rotation into the pad. I was able to get gamma as 0.15 for slab and if I consider gamma for pad footing as 10 which means no rotation, I am still getting k=0.725 if my calcs are correct. My slab above...
Thank you for that guys. Makes sense.
The issue is for some of these columns, I have got the above column at 90 degrees, which means I cannot get all the bars through from the bars under. I am thinking about putting a 750mm deep drop panel so that I can develop my 12N32 bars in compression...
Hi guys,
I am designing some 65MPa columns above and below a 40MPa slab. Referring to the Cl 10.8, it is a bit confusing to understand. Since I have to comply with (b) part of this clause, I have calculated my f'ce = 55MPa. It is a bit unclear whether this is the maximum compressive strength...
