##### 6.2.5.4 Composite construction

6.2.5.4.1
Shored construction
Where composite flexural members are supported during construction so that, after
removal of temporary supports, dead load is resisted by the full composite section, it
shall be permitted to consider the composite member equivalent to a monolithically
cast member for computation of deflection. For non prestressed members, the portion
of the member in compression shall determine whether values in Table 6.6.1 for
normal weight or lightweight concrete shall apply. If deflection is computed, account
shall be taken of curvatures resulting from differential shrinkage of precast and cast-
in-place components, and of axial creep effects in a prestressed concrete member.
6.2.5.4.2
Unshored construction
When the thickness of a non prestressed precast flexural member meets the
requirements of Table 6.6.1, deflection need not be computed. If the thickness of a
non prestressed composite member meets the requirements of Table 6.6.1, it is not
required to compute deflection occurring after the member becomes composite, but
the long-term deflection of the precast member shall be investigated for magnitude
and duration of load prior to beginning of effective composite action.
6.2.5.4.3
The computed deflection in accordance with Sec 6.2.5.4.1 or
Sec 6.2.5.4.2 shall not exceed limits stipulated in Table 6.6.2.
6.3
Axial Loads and Flexure
6.3.1
Scope
The provisions of Sec. 6.3 shall be applicable to the design of members subject to
flexure or axial loads or a combination thereof.
6.3.2
Design Assumptions

##### 6.3.2.1 The assumptions given in Sections 6.3.2.2 to 6.3.2.7, and satisfaction of

applicable conditions of equilibrium and compatibility of strains shall form the basis
of strength design of members for flexure and axial loads.

##### 6.3.2.2 The strains in reinforcement and concrete hall be assumed to be directly

proportional to the distance from the neutral axis, except that, for deep beams as
defined in Sec 6.3.7.1, an analysis that considers a nonlinear distribution of strain
shall be used. Alternatively, it shall be permitted to use a strut-and-tie model.
See Sections 6.3.7, 6.4.6, and Appendix I.

##### 6.3.2.3  The maximum usable strain at extreme concrete compression fiber shall be

assumed to be 0.003.

##### 6.3.2.4  For stress in reinforcement below , it shall be taken as  times steel

strain. For strains greater than that corresponding to , stress in reinforcement shall
be considered independent of strain and equal to .

##### 6.3.2.5 In axial and flexural calculations of reinforced concrete, the tensile strength

of concrete shall be neglected.

##### 6.3.2.6  The relationship between concrete compressive stress distribution and

concrete strain shall be assumed to be rectangular, trapezoidal, parabolic, or any
other shape that results in prediction of strength in substantial agreement with results
of comprehensive tests.

##### 6.3.2.7  An equivalent rectangular concrete stress distribution defined by Sections

###### 6.3.2.7.1 to 6.3.2.7.3 below shall satisfy the requirements of Sec 6.3.2.6.

6.3.2.7.1

28 MPa,
 shall be reduced linearly at a rate of 0.05 for each 7 MPa of strength in
excess of 28 MPa, but

6.3.3
General Principles and Requirements

##### 6.3.3.1 Stress and strain compatibility using assumptions in Sec 6.3.2 shall be the

basis for design of cross sections subject to flexure or axial loads, or a combination
thereof.

##### 6.3.3.2  A cross section shall be considered to be in balanced strain conditions when

the tension reinforcement reaches the strain corresponding to  just as concrete in
compression reaches its assumed ultimate strain of 0.003.

##### 6.3.3.3 Sections are compression-controlled if the net tensile strain in the extreme

tension steel, , is equal to or less than the compression-controlled strain limit when
the concrete in compression reaches its assumed strain limit of 0.003, Figure 6.6.3.
The compression-controlled strain limit is the net tensile strain in the reinforcement
at balanced strain conditions. For Grade 420 reinforcement, it shall be permitted to
set the compression-controlled strain limit equal to 0.002. For other grades
compression-controlled strain limit may be determined by dividing the yield strength
by modulus of elasticity E and then rounding the value obtained to four significant
digits after the decimal. For example, for Grade 500 reinforcement, the compression-
controlled strain limit shall equal to 0.0025.

Figure 6.6.3 Strain distribution and net tensile strain

##### 6.3.3.4 Sections are tension-controlled if the net tensile strain in the extreme tension

steel, , is equal to or greater than 0.005 when the concrete in compression reaches
its assumed strain limit of 0.003. Sections with  between the compression-
controlled strain limit and 0.005 constitute a transition region between compression-
controlled and tension-controlled sections.

##### 6.3.3.5 Net tensile strain in the extreme tension steel at nominal strength,  shall

not be less than 0.004 for non prestressed flexural members and non prestressed
members with factored axial compressive load less than 0.10′-U
6.3.3.5.1
Use of compression reinforcement shall be permitted in conjunction
with additional tension reinforcement to increase the strength of flexural members.

##### 6.3.3.6 For compression members, design axial strength •Žh shall not be taken

greater than •Žh,f\{v, computed by Eq. 6.6.8 or Eq. 6.6.9.
6.3.3.6.1
For non prestressed members with spiral reinforcement conforming to
Sec. 8.1 or composite members conforming to 6.3.13:
•Žh,f\{v = 0.85•Û0.85′(-U– -) + -Ý
(6.6.8)
6.3.3.6.2
For non prestressed members with tie reinforcement conforming to Sec.
8.1:
•Žh,f\{v = 0.80•Û0.85′(-U– -) + -Ý
(6.6.9)

##### 6.3.3.7 Members subject to compressive axial load shall be designed for the

maximum moment that can accompany the axial load. The factored axial force Žk at
given eccentricity shall not exceed the value that given in Sec 6.3.3.6. The maximum
factored moment pk shall be magnified for slenderness effects in accordance with
Sec 6.3.10.
6.3.4
Spacing of Lateral Supports for Flexural Members

##### 6.3.4.1 Distance between lateral supports for a beam shall not exceed 50 times y, the

least width of compression flange or face.

##### 6.3.4.2 Effects of lateral eccentricity of load shall be taken into account in

determining spacing of lateral supports.
6.3.5
Minimum Reinforcement for Members in Flexure

##### 6.3.5.1 At every section of a flexural member where tensile reinforcement is

required by analysis, except as provided in Sections 6.3.5.2 to 6.3.5.4, - provided
shall not be less than that given by Equations 6.6.10a and 6.6.10b.

##### 6.3.5.2 For statically determinate members with a flange in tension, -,fgh shall not

be less than the value given by Equations 6.6.10, except that y^ is replaced by
either 2y^ or the width of flange, whichever is smaller.

##### 6.3.5.3 If, at every section, - provided is at least one-third greater than that

required by analysis, the requirements of Sections 6.3.5.1 and 6.3.5.2 need not be
applied.

##### 6.3.5.4 For structural slabs and footings including raft that help support the structure

vertically of uniform thickness, -,fgh in the direction of the span shall be the same
as that required by Sec 8.1.11. Maximum spacing of this reinforcement shall not
exceed three times the thickness, nor 450 mm.
6.3.6
Distribution of Flexural Reinforcement in One-Way Slabs and Beams

##### 6.3.6.1 Rules for distribution of flexural reinforcement to control flexural cracking

in beams and in one-way slabs (slabs reinforced to resist flexural stresses in only one
direction) are prescribed in this section.

##### 6.3.6.2 Distribution of flexural reinforcement in two-way slabs shall be as required

by Sec 6.5.3.

##### 6.3.6.3 As stated in Sec 6.3.6.4, flexural tension reinforcement shall be well

distributed within maximum flexural tension zones of a member cross section.

##### 6.3.6.4 The spacing of reinforcement closest to the tension face,

, shall be less than
that given by

\= 380 ¸
qÍ²
`& ¼ −2.5$
(6.6.11)
But, shall not exceed, 300 ¸
qÍ²
`& ¼ where, \$ is the least distance from surface of
reinforcement to the tension face. If there is only one bar or wire nearest to the
extreme tension face,
used in Eq. 6.6.11 is the width of the extreme tension face.
Calculated stress  in reinforcement closest to the tension face at service load shall
be computed based on the unfactored moment. It shall be permitted to take  as
q
½ .

##### 6.3.6.5 For structures subject to very aggressive exposure or designed to be

watertight, provisions of Sec 6.3.6.4 are not sufficient. For such structures, special
investigations and precautions are required.

##### 6.3.6.6 When flanges of T-beam construction are in tension, part of the flexural

tension reinforcement shall be distributed over an effective flange width as defined in
Sec 6.1.13, or a width equal to one-tenth the span, whichever is smaller. If the
effective flange width exceeds one-tenth the span, some longitudinal reinforcement
shall be provided in the outer portions of the flange.

##### 6.3.6.7  Longitudinal skin reinforcement shall be uniformly distributed along both

side faces of a member (Figure 6.6.4), where ℎ of a beam or joist exceeds 900 mm.
Skin reinforcement shall extend for a distance
ℎ
q from the tension face. The spacing

shall be as provided in Sec 6.3.6.4, where \$ is the least distance from the surface
of the skin reinforcement to the side face. It shall be permitted to include such
reinforcement in strength computations if a strain compatibility analysis is made to
determine stress in the individual bars or wires.

Figure 6.6.4 Skin reinforcement for beams and joists with h > 900 mm.

6.3.7
Deep Beams

##### 6.3.7.1 Deep beams are members loaded on one face and supported on the opposite

face so that compression struts can develop between the loads and the supports, and
have either:
(a)

or
(b)
Regions with concentrated loads within twice the member depth from the
face of the support.
Deep beams shall be designed either taking into account nonlinear
distribution of strain, or by Appendix I. (See also Sections 6.4.6.1 and
8.2.7.6) Lateral buckling shall be considered.
৬.৩.৭.২ ্থয ড়ভ ফববঢ় নবধসং ংযধষষ নব রহ ধপপড়ৎফধহপব রিঃয ঝবপ ৬.৪.৬.

##### 6.3.7.3 Minimum area of flexural tension reinforcement,  -,fgh, shall conform to

Sec 6.3.5.

##### 6.3.7.4 Minimum horizontal and vertical reinforcement in the side faces of deep

beams shall satisfy either Sec I.3.3 or Sec 6.4.6.4 and Sec 6.4.6.5.
6.3.8
Design Dimensions for Compression Members

##### 6.3.8.1 Isolated compression member with multiple spirals

Outer limits of the effective cross section of a compression member with two or more
interlocking spirals shall be taken at a distance outside the extreme limits of the
spirals equal to the minimum concrete cover required by Sec 8.1.7.

##### 6.3.8.2 Monolithically built compression member with wall

Outer limits of the effective cross section of a spirally reinforced or tied reinforced
compression member built monolithically with a concrete wall or pier shall be taken
not greater than 40 mm outside the spiral or tie reinforcement.

##### 6.3.8.3 Equivalent circular compression member replacing other shapes

In lieu of using the full gross area for design of a compression member with a square,
octagonal, or other shaped cross section, it shall be permitted to use a circular section
with a diameter equal to the least lateral dimension of the actual shape. Gross area
considered, required percentage of reinforcement, and design strength shall be based
on that circular section.

##### 6.3.8.4 Limits of section

For a compression member with a cross section larger than required by
considerations of loading, it shall be permitted to base the minimum reinforcement
and strength on a reduced effective area -U not less than one-half the total area. This
provision shall not apply to special moment frames or special structural walls
designed in accordance with Sec. 8.3.

6.3.9
Limits of Reinforcement for Compression Members

##### 6.3.9.1 For noncomposite compression members, the area of longitudinal

reinforcement, -, shall be not less than 0.01-U or more than 0.06-U. To avoid
practical difficulties in placing and compacting of concrete as well as to deliver
ductility to noncomposite compression members, area of longitudinal reinforcement,
-, is preferred not to exceed 0.04-U unless absolutely essential.

##### 6.3.9.2 Minimum number of longitudinal bars in compression members shall be 4

for bars within rectangular or circular ties, 3 for bars within triangular ties, and 6 for
bars enclosed by spirals conforming to Sec 6.3.9.3.

##### 6.3.9.3 Volumetric spiral reinforcement ratio,

 greater than 420 MPa, lap splices according to 8.1.9.3(e) shall not be
used.

#### 6.3.10 Slenderness Effects in Compression Members

##### 6.3.10.1 Slenderness effects shall be permitted to be neglected in the following

cases:
(a)
for compression members not braced against side sway when:
(‡à
 ≤22
(6.6.13)
(b)
for compression members braced against side sway when:
(‡à

(6.6.14)
Where, p pq
⁄
is positive if the column is bent in single curvature, and negative if
the member is bent in double curvature.
Compression members may be considered to be braced against side sway when
bracing elements have a total stiffness, resisting lateral movement of that story, of at
least 12 times the gross stiffness of the columns within the story.
The Jackson and Moreland Alignment Charts (Figure 6.6.5), which allow a graphical
determination of  \* for  a column of constant cross section in a multibay frame may
be used as the primary design aid to estimate the effective length factor \*.

##### 6.3.10.2 When slenderness effects are not neglected as permitted by Sec 6.3.10.1,

the design of compression members, restraining beams, and other supporting
members shall be based on the factored forces and moments from a second-order
analysis satisfying Sec 6.3.10.3, Sec 6.3.10.4, or Sec 6.3.10.5. These members shall

also satisfy Sections 6.3.10.2.1 and 6.3.10.2.2. The dimensions of each member cross

elements to the columns. See also Sec. 8.1.13 Chapter 8.

#### 6.4.10 Provisions for Footings and Slabs

6.4.10.1
The shear strength of footings and slabs in the vicinity of columns,
concentrated loads, or reactions is governed by the more severe of the following two
conditions:

plane across the entire width. The slab or footing shall be designed in accordance
with Sections 6.4.1 to 6.4.3 for beam action.
6.4.10.1.2
For two-way action, each of the critical sections to be investigated
shall be located so that its perimeter
o
b is a minimum but need not approach closer
than d
2   to:
(a) Edges or corners of columns, concentrated loads, or reaction areas; and
(b) Changes in slab thickness such as edges of capitals, drop panels, or shear
caps.
For two-way action, the slab or footing shall be designed in accordance with Sections

##### 6.4.10.2 to 6.4.10.6.

###### 6.4.10.1.3  For square or rectangular columns, concentrated loads, or reaction areas,

the critical sections with four straight sides shall be permitted.

6.4.10.2

surround the column shall not exceed d
2 . The spacing between adjacent stirrups legs
in the first line of shear reinforcement shall not exceed d
2 measured in a direction
parallel to the column face. The spacing between successive lines of shear
reinforcement that surround the column shall not exceed d
2  measured in a direction
perpendicular to the column face. In a slab-column connection for which the moment
transfer is negligible, the shear reinforcement should be symmetrical about the
centroid of the critical section Figure 6.6.14. Spacing limits defined above are also
shown in Figure 6.6.14 for interior column and in Figure 6.6.15 for edge column. At
edge columns or for interior connections where moment transfer is significant,
closed stirrups are recommended in a pattern as symmetrical as possible.

### 6.5 Two-Way Slab Systems: Flat Plates, Flat Slabs and Edge-Supported Slabs

6.5.1
Scope
The provisions of this section shall apply to all slabs, solid, ribbed or hollow,
spanning in more than one direction, with or without beams between the supports.
Flat plate is a term normally attributed to slabs without beams and without drop
panels, column capitals, or brackets. On the other hand, slabs without beams, but
with drop panels, column capital or brackets are commonly known as flat slabs.
While this section covers the requirements for all types of slabs, the provisions of
Sec 6.5.8. Alternative Design of Two-way Edge-Supported slabs, may be used as an
alternative for slabs supported on all four edges by walls, steel beams or monolithic
concrete beams having a total depth not less than 3 times the slab thickness.

##### 6.5.1.1 For a slab system supported by columns or walls, dimensions $, $q, and

যে ংযধষষ নব নধংবফ ড়হ ধহ বভভবপঃরাব ংঁঢ়ঢ়ড়ৎঃ ধৎবধ ফবভরহবফ নু:যব রহঃবৎংবপঃরড়হ ড়ভ:যব
bottom surface of the slab, or of the drop panel or shear cap if present, with the
largest right circular cone, right pyramid, or tapered wedge whose surfaces are
located within the column and the capital or bracket and are oriented no greater than
45o to the axis of the column.

##### 6.5.1.2 Minimum thickness of slabs designed in accordance with Sec. 6.5 shall be as

required by Sec 6.2.5.3.
6.5.2
General

##### 6.5.2.1 Column strip is a design strip with a width on each side of a column

if any.

##### 6.5.2.2 Middle strip is a design strip bounded by two column strips.

##### 6.5.2.3 A panel is bounded by column, beam, or wall centerlines on all sides.

##### 6.5.2.4 For monolithic or fully composite construction, a beam includes that portion

of slab on each side of the beam extending a distance equal to the projection of the
beam above or below the slab, whichever is greater, but not greater than four times
the slab thickness (Figure 6.6.18).

##### 6.5.2.5 When used to reduce the amount of negative moment reinforcement over a

column or minimum required slab thickness, a drop panel shall:
(a) project below the slab at least one-quarter of the adjacent slab thickness; and
(b) extend in each direction from the centerline of support a distance not less
than one-sixth the span length measured from center-to-center of supports in
that direction.

When used to increase the critical condition section for shear at a slab-column joint,
a shear cap shall project below the slab and extend a minimum horizontal distance
from the face of the column that is equal to the thickness of the projection below the
slab soffit.

in spandrel beams, columns, or walls.

##### 6.5.3.4 Negative moment reinforcement perpendicular to a discontinuous edge shall

be bent, hooked, or otherwise anchored in spandrel beams, columns, or walls, and
shall be developed at face of support according to provisions of Sec. 8.2 Chapter 8.

##### 6.5.3.5 Where a slab is not supported by a spandrel beam or wall at a discontinuous

edge, or where a slab cantilevers beyond the support, anchorage of reinforcement
shall be permitted within the slab.

##### 6.5.3.6 At exterior corners of slabs supported by edge walls or where one or more

edge beams have a value of u\`  greater than 1.0, top and bottom slab reinforcement
shall be provided at exterior corners in accordance with Sections 6.5.3.6.1 to

###### 6.5.3.6.4 and as shown in Figure 6.6.19.

If the effect of the strength deficiency is not well understood or if it is
not feasible to establish the required dimensions and material properties by
measurement, a load test shall be required if the structure is to remain in
service.
6.11.1.4
If the doubt about safety of a part or all of a structure involves
