A term project to be done

CIVT/CIVE 337 Reinforced Concrete Design Term Project Due: Dec 1, 2016 Name:______________________ Program:_____________________ T#:_______________________ Note: In this project, you are asked to read the given information carefully and use all knowledge learned during this semester to perform design/analysis tasks for the following problem. Each student should complete the project individually. Sharing design calculations, final results or any intellectual work will result a zero grade and such scholastic dishonesty may incur severe disciplinary actions. Please refer to TSU academic regulations for details. http://em.tsu.edu/catalog/08catalog/17_academic_regs.pdf

¡ The total is 100 + 20 bonus points. The term project and final exam are combined and worth 50% towards your accumulative grade.

¡ This is an open-end design project. ¡ Read problem statement carefully and design accordingly (comply with requirements!) ¡ Make full use of available resources. ¡ List all references used. ¡ Prepare professional looking report with all technical details and narratives for your client.

Problem Statement You are asked to design an exterior balcony for a client. The client has a rough draft in mind for his balcony and showed you the sketch. The balcony is to be supported on two simply-supported edge beams. Each beam is supported by two short columns.

You are asked to:

1. Design the two beams (30 pts)

a. Dimensions (h and b) b. Select appropriate materials, for example, you may propose using concrete

fc’=3000 psi c. Select appropriate reinforcing steel, including strength, As and how to place them. d. Provide design sketch as demonstrated in your textbook.

2. Design the one-way slab (30 pts) a. Dimensions (thickness) b. Select appropriate materials, for example, you may propose using concrete

fc’=3000 psi c. Select appropriate reinforcing steel, including strength, As and how to place them. d. Provide design sketch as demonstrated in your textbook.

3. Design the columns (30 pts) a. Dimensions (including shape and dimensions) b. Select appropriate materials, for example, you may propose using concrete

fc’=3000 psi c. Select appropriate reinforcing steel, including strength, As and how to place them. d. Design the ties. e. Provide design sketch as demonstrated in your textbook.

4. Prepare professional looking report. (20 pts) 5. Estimate project cost (10 pts)

Some helpful hints:

1) General design steps: a) Conceptual Design b) Material Selection c) Load Specification d) Design Analysis e) Calculations Check f) Design Drawings g) Cost Estimate*

2) Calculate the dead load of the slab. Assume that the unit weight of the reinforced concrete slab (including reinforcement) is 150 pcf.

3) You need to assume a reasonable service live load for the balcony slab. Remember the function of your design and client’s need.

4) The load acting on the slab is carried into the two beams based on tributary areas, determine the dead load and live load acting on the beams accordingly.

5) Self weight should be considered as additional component of dead load. 6) Use 1.2 DL+1.6 LL in your design. 7) Make use of the shear and bending moment diagram based on total factored load. 8) Use appropriate φ for your design. 9) For any additional information, use your engineer judgment to make reasonable

assumptions, and always remember to CHECK YOUR ASSUMPTIONS afterwards. 10) Report guidelines:

• A design report should be of high quality (clear, neat, correct grammar and spelling with adequate margins)

• It should be terse, well illustrated and not crowded. • No major design flaws. • Use header and footer showing your name, T#, course #, page #/total page etc. • Text should be typed in 12 pt. Times font. • Calculations should not be typed; do them with a pencil. • Use one side of 8.5 x 11 in paper only. • The report should be assembled in the order of the sections given below, pages

numbered and bound by a medium-sized metal binder clip (an inexpensive clamp).

• Your report should have the following contents: § Cover page

Problem Statement and other basic info. § Assumptions § Calculations § Show all your design steps, assumptions, and calculations. § Check your designs for slab, beam and column for requirements, make

sure your assumptions are true. § Data sections

• Materials Data Table. Displays property and allowable values and their source.

• Loads Data. Present live loads that the structure must bear. If applicable, calculate dynamic load factors. Dead loads do not appear here, but may be included during design.

• Other data. Anthropometric data, codes, i.e., snow loads, maintenance vehicles, i.e.

§ Drawings § Free Body Diagram, shear-moment diagram, Stress-strain

distribution, design sketches, etc. Your report should include detailed sketches of reinforcement for the structure members. You can use any drawing software, refer to your textbook for sketch examples.
