Advanced Prestressed Concrete Part 5: Corbel Design-Advanced Precast, Prestressed Concrete Module 5: Corbels Module

Advanced Precast, Prestressed Concrete Module 5: Corbels Module

Pdf Summary

The document provides an overview of a course on advanced prestressed concrete design. It outlines the topics covered in each session, including corbel design. The corbel design methods discussed are the Cantilever Beam Design Method and the Strut-and-Tie Method. <br /><br />In the Cantilever Beam Design Method, the document explains the geometric and force limits to be considered. It also provides typical detailing for corbels and emphasizes the importance of proper detailing to avoid distress and ensure the full strength potential of the reinforcement.<br /><br />The document includes equations and calculations for determining the required reinforcement (As and Ah) based on the forces and dimensions of the corbel. It also provides examples of corbel designs using the Cantilever Beam Design Method for a wall corbel and a column corbel. The designs include the dimensions, reinforcement details, and anchorage requirements.<br /><br />The Strut-and-Tie Method is briefly introduced as an alternative design method. It explains the concept of strut-and-tie models and their use in representing stress resultants in complex regions of concrete members. The document describes the steps involved in designing structural elements using strut-and-tie models and provides background information and resources for further study.<br /><br />Overall, the document provides a summary of the course content and explains the two design methods for corbels. It includes examples and calculations to illustrate the application of the Cantilever Beam Design Method and briefly introduces the Strut-and-Tie Method.
