2. 1. Flexural and shear stresses in prismatic beams
Flexural (normal) stress fx and
the Shear stress at any point
in the section, located at a
distance y from the neutral axis,
are given by:
I = second moment of area of the section about the neutral axis
Q = first moment of area about the neutral axis of the portion of the section above the layer at distance y
from the NA
b = width of the beam at the layer at which is calculated.
variation of shear stress is parabolic, with a maximum value at the neutral axis and zero values at the
top and bottom of the section.
3. Combined flexural and shear stresses can be resolved into equivalent principal stresses
f1 and f2 acting on orthogonal planes, inclined at an angle a to the beam axis
Principal stresses
4. for elements located at the neutral axis – Condition of Pure Shear exists , τ is maximum
and fx = 0 , f1 = f2 = τmax and α = 45o
Principal stress trajectories’ are a set of orthogonal curves whose tangent/normal at any
point indicate the directions of the principal stresses at that point

.
Principal Compressive Stress Trajectory takes the form
of an arch while that of tensile stresses have the curve
of a catenary or like a suspended chain.
Towards midspan where shear stresses are low and
bending dominant the direction of principal stresses
tend to be parallel to the beam axis.
Near the supports where the shearing forces are
greater, the principal stresses become inclined and
greater the shear force greater is the inclination.
Cracks would develop in a direction that is
perpendicular to that of the principal tensile stress.

6. 2. Modes of Cracking in RC Beams
Two types of inclined cracking occur in concrete beams
Web Shear Cracking
Flexure – Shear Cracking
Web Shear cracking starts from near NA location when the PTS due to shear exceed the tensile
strength of concrete. Usually occur in I beams (thin webs)
Flexure – Shear cracking is an extension of vertical flexural cracking and develops when the PTS due to
combined shear and flexural tensile stresses exceed the tensile strength of concrete.
7. 3. Shear failure modes in beams without web rebars
Case 1: a/d < 1 DEEP BEAMS
Without web reinforcement, inclined cracking transforms the beam into a tied-arch with tension element
as longitudinal rebars and compression element as cracked concrete
The tension element may fail by yielding, fracture or failure of anchorage.
OR compression chord may fail by crushing of concrete
a
8. Case 2: 1 < a/d < 2.5
Failure is initiated by an inclined crack ⎯ usually a
flexure-shear crack. The actual failure may take place
either by
(1) crushing of the reduced concrete section above the
tip of the crack under combined shear and
compression, termed shear-compression failure
(2)or secondary cracking along the tension
reinforcement, termed shear -tension failure.
Such failures usually occur before the failure due to moment resisting capacity of beam is
exhausted
a
a
9. Case 3: 2.5 < a/d < 6
If shear reinforcement is not provided, the cracks extend
rapidly to the top of the beam; the failure occurs suddenly
and is termed diagonal tension failure. Addition of web
reinforcement enhances the shear strength considerably.
Loads can be carried until failure occurs in a shear-tension mode (yielding of the shear reinforcement)
or in a shear-compression mode (If shear reinforcement is excessive, it may not yield; instead concrete
in diagonal compression gets crushed), or in a flexural mode.
The limiting a/d ratio above which flexural failure is certain depends on the tension steel area as well as
strength of concrete and steel. This is expected with a/d 6
Such beams may fail either in shear or in flexure. Flexural tension cracks develop early. Failure in shear
occurs by the propagation of inclined flexural-shear cracks.
a
10. Note:
Web−Crushing Failure
I−beams with web reinforcement may fail by the crushing of
concrete in the web portion between the inclined cracks
under diagonal compression forces
11. 4. Shear Transfer Mechanisms
Interface shear (aggregate interlock) force Va ,
transmitted along the inclined plane of the crack, resulting from the friction against
relative slip between the interlocking surfaces of the crack. Its contribution can be
significant, if the crack-width is limited.
Shear resistance in reinforced concrete beams is provided by the shear transfer in the
compression zone, aggregate interlock across crack face, stirrups crossing the shear
crack, and dowel action of longitudinal reinforcing bars crossing the crack in concrete
c
12. Dowel force in the tension reinforcement (due to dowel action) Vd
V = Vc + Va + Vd + Vs = Vint
In the uncracked stage the applied shear is resisted almost entirely by concrete . V Vc
At the instance of flexural cracking, there is a redistribution of stresses, and some interface shear Va
and dowel action Vd are induced
At the stage of diagonal tension cracking, the shear reinforcement that intercepts the crack contributes
significantly to resist shear. All the four major mechanisms are effective at this stage.
13. V = Vc + Va + Vd + Vs = Vint
Since methods to include Vay and Vd are not clearly
available only two primary mechanisms are
considered in practice.
Vc is modified to take into account of Va and Vd
V = Vc + Vs
14. The increase in pt in the flexural tension zone contributes to enhanced dowel action Vd ,
and control the propagation of flexural cracks.
This results in increase in the position of the neutral axis
The increased area of uncracked concrete in compression zone enhances contributions of Va and Vc
Thus the higher the percentage tension reinforcement, the greater the shear resistance in the
concrete – up to a limit : Xu /d = Xu,max/d
This contribution is given in Table 19 of IS 456 which are computed from
5. Influence of Longitudinal Rebars content ; pt – 100 Ast / bd
15. For a concrete grade beyond a
value of pt which corresponds
to =1, c remains constant .
This is the upper limit of
contribution that can be expected
from dowel action and control of
crack propagation (increased
depth of NA)

17. 7. Concept of Nominal Shear Stress
V/BD = (1.5 V/BD)(2/3)
Average Shear
Stress
A. Members with Uniform Depth
The concept of average shear stress in a beam section is used in mechanics of materials is
used in RC sections also
v = shear force / area of cross section = Vu / bd CL 40.1
τv is merely a parameter intended to aid design and to control shear stresses in RC members
It does not actually represent the true average shear stress as distribution is quite complex in RC.
19. Note on Computation of Nominal Shear Stress
When the depth increases in the same direction as the bending moment as in the case in cantilever
beams, nominal shear stress is reduced. Use of the simpler equation for nominal shear stress gives
conservative results.
Equation as per CL 40.1.1 is mandatory when the depth decreases with increasing moment.
Compression face is sloping - tapered footings and
cantilever beams
A similar correction is necessary and equations holds
good in this case also. Use of the simpler equation
for nominal shear stress gives conservative results.
20. When a support reaction introduces
transverse compression in the end region of
the member, the shear strength of this region
is enhanced, and inclined cracks do not
develop near the face of the support (which is
usually the location of maximum shear).
This is of particular significance in footing slabs
where flexural (one-way) shear is a major
design consideration

23. 9. Influence of Axial Force on Design Shear Strength
Axial force either compression or tension may act in conjunction with M and V due to reasons
such as externally applied, prestressing and restraint forces due to shrinkage or temperature.
Typical examples include ring beams in domes
Shear strength of concrete is generally improved in the presence of uniaxial compression and weakened
in the presence of uniaxial tension.
Effect of Axial Compression
The effect of an axial compressive force is to delay the formation of both flexural and inclined cracks,
and also to decrease the angle of inclination α of the inclined cracks to the longitudinal axis.
IS 456 specifies that the design shear
strength in the presence of axial compression
should be taken as δ τc
24. Axial tensile force is expected to do exactly the reverse - it will decrease the shear
strength, accelerate the process of cracking and increase the angle α of the inclined cracks.
Effect of Axial Tension
No explicit provisions in IS 456 are available
The following simplified expression for δ, based on the ACI Code may be used:
When axial tension is also present, design for shear may be done based on the
Compression Field Theory or the Strut-and-Tie Model,
25. 10. Enhanced Shear Strength of Sections Close to Supports
Shear strength of concrete is enhanced in regions close to the support, when the support reaction
introduces transverse compression.
Substantial portion of the load is transmitted to the support directly through strut action, rather
than through flexural shear.

27. EXAMPLE 1
B = 300mm, d = 610 mm, D = 685mm, fck = 25MPa, P = 445 kN at mid span, Ast = 2458 mm2, Span = 1220 mm
Find the maximum shear strength of concrete if
1. No Axial forces are present
2. If Axial compression = 265 kN
Case 1: No Axial forces are present
1. av = 610 < 2d , failure plane is inclined at angle greater than 300 and concentrated load is acting in shear span (<2d).
Hence critical section for shear is located in regions closer to support.
2. As per CL 40.5.1 design shear strength is enhanced to 2dc /av
3. 100 Ast/bd = 100 x 2458 / (300 x 610) = 1.34% From Table 19 c = 0.7 + [(0.74 - 0.7) x 0.09/0.25] = 0.714 N/mm2
Enhanced design Shear Strength c = 2 x 610 x 0.714 /610 = 1.428 N/mm2
4. Shear Strength of Concrete = 1.428 x 300 x 610 = 261 kN
29. Example 2 - Enhanced design shear strength
Vu = 700 kN
b = 400 mm
d = 644 mm
fck = 35 MPa
Ast = 5 x 804.25 = 4021 mm2
1. av = 750 < 2d , failure plane is inclined at angle greater than 300 and concentrated load is acting in
shear span. Hence critical section for shear is located in regions closer to support
2. As per CL 40.5.1 design shear strength is enhanced to 2dc /av
3. 100 Ast / bd = 100 x 4021 / (400 x 644) = 1.56% 1.5%, From Table 19 c = 0.78 N/mm2
Enhanced design Shear Strength c = 2 x 644 x 0.78 /750 = 1.34 N/mm2
30. 11. Shear Reinforcement
Flexural member should be capable of developing its full moment capacity rather than having its strength
limited by premature shear failure.
Further in an overloading scenario failure should not be sudden and explosive in nature.
Special shear reinforcement is used to enhance shear strength and induce ductile failure mechanism.
Shear reinforcement, also known as web reinforcement may consist of any one of the following systems.
Ends anchored properly around longitudinal bars to develop the yield strength in tension
As per Cl. 40.4
• stirrups perpendicular to the beam axis;
• stirrups inclined (at 45° or more) to the beam axis
• longitudinal bars bent-up (usually, not more than) at
45° to 60° to the beam axis, combined with stirrups.
31.
32. 12. Shear Resistance of Stirrups
A. Plane Truss Model
This is evaluated based on idealization of a RC beam as a plane truss consisting of a series of reinforcing
steel tensile ties and concrete compressive struts, interconnected at nodes to form a truss capable of
transmitting the loads to the supports.
Crack pattern due to
flexure and shear
Original Truss model
Truss is formed by lumping all the
stirrups cut by section aa into one
vertical member and all diagonal
concrete struts cut by section bb
into one compression diagonal
inclined at 450
Variable angle Truss model
Angle of inclination of concrete
struts generally varies from 250 to
650 depending upon arrangement
of rebars.
33. B. Beams with Inclined Stirrups
Diagonal Crack with horizontal projection ‘p’
and inclined length, i= p/cos, is crossed by
inclined bars, horizontally spaced ‘sv ‘apart.
Let rebar inclination = a , crack orientation=
and ‘a’ be the distance between successive
rebars measured parallel to the crack
direction.

sv
A B C
D
AB = a cos
BD = a sin
BC = BD cot a = a sin cot a
AC = sv = a cos + a sin cot a = a sin ( cot + cot a)
a = sv / sin ( cot + cot a)
34. Let ‘n’ be the number of bars crossing the crack ; n= i/a
n = [p / cos] sin ( cot + cot a) / sv
n = p [ 1 + tan cot a]/ sv
Total shear resistance , Vus = n x fy x Asv x sin a
Vus = fy Asv p [sin a + cos a tan ] / sv
Assuming usual crack inclination 450 and p d and fy = 0.87 fy
Vus = 0.87fy Asv d [sin a + cos a] / sv
C. Beams with vertical Stirrups a =900
IS 456 CL 40.4 recommendations
Vus = 0.87 fy Asv d / sv
D. Beams with Inclined bars ( Bent-up)
Vus = 0.87 fy Asv sin a
35. 13. Limits of shear rebars or Limiting value of Ultimate Shear Resistance of concrete
Cl. 40.2.3 has imposed a limit on the resistance Vus from shear reinforcement, by limiting the
ultimate shear resistance of concrete to c,max values given in Table 20.
𝝉 𝒄 𝒎𝒂𝒙 ≈ 𝟎. 𝟔𝟐 𝒇 𝒄𝒌
if c < v < c max , then resistance from rebars can be supplemented else section need to be redesigned
Hence, a shear -compression failure may occur even before the shear reinforcement has yielded .
Yielding of the shear reinforcement at the ultimate limit state is
essential to ensure a ductile failure.
However, such a failure will not occur if the shear reinforcement
provided is excessive as section becomes stronger in diagonal tension
compared to diagonal compression
36. 1. v= Vu/bd = 700 x 103 / (400 x 644) = 2.72N/mm2 <c max= 3.7 N/mm2 (Table 20)
2. c< v <c max , Hence Shear rebars are required

• Area of cutoff bar (1-#25) = 491 mm2
• Total Area of bar at cutoff section (1-#25 + 2 - #20) = 1119 mm2
• b = 491 / 1119 = 0.44 , S = 399 /( 8 x 0.44) = 113 mm
• Excess stirrup area required = 0.4 x 250 x 113 / 250 = 45 mm2
• Provide 4 nos – 2L - #8 @ 100 over a length = 300 mm in curtailed zone
41. 14. Comments:
IS code method , “Vc + Vs” approach is essentially empirical and
generally leads to safe designs.
Vc – concrete contribution is considered as some combination of force
transfer by dowel action of the main steel, aggregate interlock along
a diagonal crack and shear in the uncracked concrete beyond the end
of the crack without an explicit account of each contribution.
Diagonal cracking load without web rebars is considered as concrete
contribution to the shear strength
Some rational models such as “truss model”, “Strut and Tie model”
and “Compression field theory are available to study the behaviour
in combined bending and shear
42. 15. Strut and Tie Model
RC beams can be divided into
• B – regions where beam theory is valid and
• D – regions where discontinuities ( near concentrated loads, openings and changes in cross
section) which affect member behaviour
D – regions are that portion of the
member that is within a distance
equal to member depth from a force
or geometric discontinuity – Filled
regions in fig
B – regions are portions of member
outside D – region – unfilled regions
in fig.
43. Strut and Tie models are applied within D-regions
Model consist of struts and ties connected at nodal zones
that are capable of transferring loads to the supports or
adjacent B regions.
Thickness ‘b’ is perpendicular to the plane of truss and
width ‘w’ is in the plane
The truss representing the strut and tie model must fit
within the envelope defined by the D region. Selection left
to the discretion and multiple solutions are possible.
44. All of the supports and loads are within D of each other or the supports.
Entire structure is characterized as D - region
Example of a Transfer Girder
45. 16. Torsion in RC members
• RC members are also subjected to torsional moments in addition to
bending and shear and sometimes with axial forces also.
• Torsional moments causes twisting of the member
• Torsional moments can be generated in two types of load transfer
mechanisms and are identified as
1.Primary or equilibrium or statically determinate torsion
2. Secondary or Compatibility or statically indeterminate torsion
torsion
46. • exists when external load has no alternative load path but must be
supported by torsion. In such cases torsion is required to maintain static
equilibrium and can be uniquely determined.
Example : 1. Cantilevered slab from a beam
• Loads applied to the slab surface cause twisting moment mt to act along
the length of beam.
• These are equilibrated by the resisting torque
T at the columns.
• In the absence of torsional moments structure
will collapse
• Hence this cannot be ignored in designs
A. Equilibrium torsion
47. 2. Curved Beams in Plan

48. • arises from the requirements of compatibility of deformation between adjacent parts of
a structure
• Torsional moments cannot be found based on static equilibrium alone.
• Ignoring this will lead to cracking but will not cause collapse.
• Internal redistribution of forces is forced and an alternative equilibrium path is found
Example : Spandrel or edge beam supporting a monolithic
concrete slab
Case1:
Torsionally stiff and suitably
reinforced the slab moments
will be same as those for a
rigid support.
Case2:
Little torsional stiffness and
inadequate reinforcement cracking
will occur and the slab moments
will be same as those for a
hinged support.
B. Compatibility Torsion
49. The torsional rigidity = G C, of a member may be obtained by assuming the shear modulus
G equal to 0.4 Ec , and torsional stiffness C equal to half of the St. Venant value
calculated for the plain concrete section
50. 17. Behaviour of Plain Concrete members in torsion
• The maximum torsional shear stress occurs at the middle of the wider face
• The state of pure shear develops direct tensile and compressive stresses along the
diagonal directions, as shown in the element at A
• The principal tensile and compressive stress trajectories spiral around the beam in
orthogonal directions at 45o to the beam axis.
(a) (b)
A
• Torsion induces shear stresses and causes
warping of non-circular sections.
• For rectangular sections under elastic
behaviour, the Distribution of torsonal shear
stress over the cross- section is as shown
in fig (b)
51. Cracks would develop on the surface when the diagonal
tensile stress reaches the tensile strength of concrete and
rapidly progress inwards.
In a plain concrete member, the diagonal torsional
cracking in the outer fibers would lead, almost immediately,
to a sudden failure of the entire section.
52. At the cracking load, point A, the angle of twist
increases without an increase in torque as some of
the forces resisted by the uncracked concrete are
redistributed to the reinforcement.
The cracking extends toward the central core of the
member, rendering the core ineffective.
Experiments performed on a series of solid and
hollow rectangular beams with the same exterior size
and increasing amounts of both longitudinal and
stirrup reinforcement, it has been found that
• Although the cracking torque was lower for
the hollow beams, the ultimate strengths were
the same for solid and hollow beams having
the same reinforcement.
18. Behaviour of RC members in torsion
53. After the cracking of a reinforced beam, failure may occur in several ways.
• The stirrups, or longitudinal reinforcement, or both, may yield
• or for beams that are over reinforced in torsion, the concrete between the
inclined cracks may be crushed by principal compression stresses prior to yielding of
steel.
Addition of longitudinal steel without stirrups has little effect on the strength of a
beam loaded in torsion because it is effective only in resisting the longitudinal
component of the diagonal tension forces.
A rectangular beam with longitudinal bars in the corners and closed stirrups can resist
increased load after cracking
NOTE:
54. 19. Strength of reinforced concrete members subjected to torsion
Two very different theories are used
The first, based on a skew bending theory developed by Lessig and
extended by Hsu was the basis for the torsion-design provisions in the
1971 through 1989 ACI Codes.
This theory assumes that some shear and torsion is resisted by the
concrete, the rest by shear and torsion reinforcement.
The mode of failure is assumed to involve bending on a skew surface
resulting from the crack’s spiraling around three of the four sides of the
member.
IS 456 code provisions are based on this theory.
55. The second design theory is based on a thin-walled tube/plastic space
truss model, similar to the plastic-truss analogy.
This theory, presented by Lampert and Thürlimann and by Lampert and
Collins, forms the basis of the torsion provisions in the latest European
design recommendations for structural concrete and, since 1995, in the
ACI Code.
56. 20. Shear Force due to Torsion in Plain Concrete beams- Plasticity Approach
Assumption:
Plain Concrete section is fully plasticized at the point of failure and this implies that
the shear stress is constant throughout the section

• Trapezoidal area = (b/2) [D+ (D-b)] /2

60. is an extension of the plane truss analogy
used to explain flexural shear resistance of
RC sections
21. Space Truss Analogy – Behaviour of RC members in Torsion
RC member is visualized as a space truss consisting of
• Spiral concrete diagonals that are able to take load parallel but not
perpendicular to the torsional cracks
• Transverse tension tie members provided by closed stirrups
• Tension Chords provided by longitudinal reinforcement
61. Visualized as ‘thin-walled tube’ which is fully effective at the post-
torsional cracking phase.
Represents a simplification of actual behaviour as the calculated torsional
strength is controlled by the strength of transverse reinforcement and is
independent of concrete strength.
62. • Let As = area of longitudinal rebars, Asv = area of 2L stirrups, Sv = spacing of
stirrups, fy = yield stress,
• F be the force in each leg and link of stirrups
• Torsional Moment = Tu = F b1 + F d1
• F = 0.87 fy (Asv/2) for each vertical leg and horizontal link
• Number of vertical legs crossing the crack = d1 / Sv
• Number of horizontal links crossing the crack = b1/ Sv
• Tus= 0.87 fy (Asv/2) (d1 / Sv ) b1 + 0.87 fy (Asv/2) (b1 / Sv ) d1
22.Torsional resistance by the stirrups: Tus
Sv
TUS= 0.87 fy Asv b1 d1 / Sv
63. 23. Behaviour in Combined Shear + Torsion
The flexural shear is distributed,
whereas the torsional shear is restricted
in the shear flow zone.
In the central region, the shear is
insignificant due to torsion
Thus, when shear and torsion act
together they are not additive
throughout the width of the web.
64. In general, the interaction between Tu /Tus and Vu /Vus :
Tu = factored twisting moment carried by stirrups
Vu = factored shear force carried by stirrups
Tus= Torsional shear resistance by stirrup (pure torsion)
Vus = Flexural Shear resistance by stirrups (without torsion)

This is used to compute Asv as per CL 41.4.3 with d d1
66. Torsion causes an axial tensile force N. Fig(a)
Half of this is assumed to be resisted by flexural compression zone and
the other half by flexural tension steel.
Flexure causes a compression–tension couple Fig (b)
For combined bending and torsion, these internal forces add together.
25. Behaviour in Combined Bending + Torsion
+ = C - N/2
T + N/2
67. The reinforcement provided for the flexural tension force, T, and
that provided for the tension force due to torsion (N/2) must be
added together.
The concept of equivalent moment as adopted in IS 456 is based on
this hypothesis.
In the flexural compression zone, the force C tends to cancel out
some, or all, of the tension (N/2) due to torsion Fig (c)
68. Failure hypothesis :
• Longitudinal bars and Stirrups yield simultaneously
• Crack inclination = 450
Condition : (Volume of steel / unit length) x fy is same
for both longitudinal and stirrups
This Yields
Ast Sv fy = Asv fy (b1 + d1) ; Ast = Asv (b1 + d1) /Sv
Mt= (N/2) d1 = (Ast x 0.87 fy x d1) / 2 = (Asv (b1 + d1) /Sv) 0.87 fy d1 / 2
26. Equivalent Moment (Fictitious Moment) due to torsion : MT
N/4
N/4
69. Since TUS= 0.87 fy Asv b1 d1 / Sv ; 0.87 fy Asv / Sv = Tus /b1d1
Mt = (Tus /b1d1 ) (b1 + d1) d1 / 2 = Tus(1 + d1/b1)/2
Since d1/b1 = D/b
Mt = (Tus / 2)(1+ D/b)
As a conservative estimate IS 456 has
adopted 1.7 instead of 2 in the above
expression – CL 41.4.2
70. 27. Combined Bending + Shear + Torsion
Normal stress is caused by bending moment
Shear stress due to torsion circulates around the section in
different directions
Shear stress due to shear force is mainly parallel to the direction
of the shear force
71. The side of the section where the shear stresses are additive is
critical in design.
In general longitudinal and transverse reinforcements are required
to resist all load conditions
Reinforced concrete members are analysed using the space-truss
analogy and the skew bending theory as per IS 456
72. She proposed an approach of analysis for under-reinforced
beams. Equilibrium conditions for an assumed skew-bending type
of failure mechanism is established. She presented the first two
modes of failure
Inclined tension crack spiral round three faces of the beam. On
the fourth side, the ends of the crack are joined by a
compression zone. At failure, reinforcement is assumed to be
yielding on the three sides.
A. Skew Bending Theory – proposed by Lessig (1958)
73. Collins et al. (1968) discovered mode 3 failure and extended the
analysis to a more general case of un-symmetrically reinforced
members where the top longitudinal steel is significantly less than the
bottom longitudinal steel and subjected to large torque and small
bending moment.
Cracks are initiated at the top and side faces and the compression
zone is at the bottom face.
Failure occurs when both top and transverse steels yield.
74. The skew-bending model categorizes torsional failure of a reinforced
concrete beam under three different modes: Modes 1, 2 and 3
depending on the location of a skewed compression zone near the top,
side or bottom of the section respectively.
Each mode has a compression face and a tension face as in the case of
pure bending, but the compression face becomes skewed to the normal
cross-section due to the presence of torsion.
The failure pattern depends on
• the aspect ratio of the beam,
• the ratio between top and bottom longitudinal reinforcements,
• and the ratio between applied torsional moment and bending moment
in combination with different values of shear force.
75.
76.
77. The presence of shear may cause a beam to fail at a strength below
that predicted by one of the three skew bending modes.
In a square beam with equal longitudinal steel in all faces, under
pure torsion, there would be equal possibility of failure in mode 1, 2
and 3.
78. Summary about Skew Bending Theory
In the mode one failure, the equivalent ultimate moment (Me1) acts
in the same direction as that of the flexural moment. We design
the steel for Me1
If the torsional effect is large, Mt > Mu, in that case, we should
also design for the transverse bending and negative bending.
For the negative bending moment, we are designing for the top steel and
here the equivalent moment Me2 acts in an opposite sense to that flexural
moment.
The transverse bending is modeled by the expression Me3 and for that
there is compression in one side and tension in the other side face. The
design steel is for one side face and we provide a symmetric amount of
steel in the other side phase.
79. Mode 1 Failure Analysis
Equating the internal and external
moments
• As1 = Area of longitudinal steel on face 1 - flexure tension face
• (jd)1 = Lever arm when longitudinal steel As1 yields - is taken as that corresponding to
flexure without torsion.
• As1 (0.87fy)(jd)1 = equivalent bending moment = Me1 to be resisted
• a varies from 450 to 900 - conservative value = 450
Me1 = M + M
t
80. This forms the basis for computing longitudinal reinforcement as
per CL 41.4.2
81. Mode 2 Failure Analysis
Only the outer two legs of the closed stirrups should be considered for
computing the torsional resistance contribution by web steel.
If the stirrup consists of more than two legs, the interior legs should be
ignored.
This clause consists of two requirements.
82. The first one corresponds to the expression given for
computing Asv and is intended to take care of a mode 2
failure which is likely due to large amount of torsion and small
shear forces.
The second requirement imposes a minimum limit so that the
shear stress (ve - c) will be carried by the stirrup.
This is intended for avoiding the normal type of shear failure
associated with large shears together with a small amount of
torsion.
83. Mode 3 Failure Analysis
From moment equilibrium conditions
As3 = Longitudinal steel on face 3
(jd)3 = Lever arm when As3 starts yielding
Me2 = As3 (0.87 fy) (jd)3 = Mt - M
In other words the section should resist an
equivalent bending moment Me2 to avoid mode
3 failure.

116. Example 11
Design a RC beam of square section to resist a pure ultimate torque = 15
kNm, M20 and Fe415 grade steel.
Step 1: For pure torsion: Vu=0,Mu=0
• Me1= Me2 = Mt = 15 x ( 1 +1)/1.7 = 17.65 kNm
• Let D be the Depth required for a singly reinforced section, d = 0.85D
• 17.65x103 = 0.36 x 0.48 (1- 0.42 x 0.48) x D3 x 0.852 x 20
• D = 206 mm
• Adopt 250 x 250 section; d = 212.5 , effective cover = 37.5 mm
Step 2: Compute Ast
• 17.65x106 = 0.87x 415x Ast x 212.5( 1- Ast x 415/250 x 212.5 x 20)
• 29.97Ast
2 - 76723.13Ast + 17.65x106 = 0
• Ast = 255 mm2 ; provide 3-#12, Ast = 339 mm2 at top and bottom
117. Step 6 : Design of Shear Reinforcement
• Ve = 1.6 x 15/0.25 = 96kN
• ve = 96 x 103 /(250 x 212.5) = 1.8 MPa < c max OK
• pt = 100 x 339/(250 x212.5) = 0.64 %
• c 0.52MPa
