11. Special boundary element required transverse reinforcement

ACI 318-19 (18.10.6.4(e) and (f))

11.1. Confinement of the flange

The maximum vertical spacing of the special boundary element transverse reinforcement in the flange is equal to the following:

ACI 318-19 (18.10.6.4(e))

ACI 318-19 (Table 18.10.6.5(b)

Thus, use vertical spacing s = 4.00 in.

 (see Figure 8)

In the equation for so, the maximum center-to-center spacing of the laterally supported longitudinal bars, hx, is equal to approximately 11.17 in. assuming #5 transverse reinforcement confining all the longitudinal bars in the flange.

For confinement of the flange in the direction of analysis, bc = bc,1 = 214.5 in.

 

ACI 318-19 (Table 18.10.6.4(g))

With #5 overlapping hoops and #5 crossties engaging all the longitudinal reinforcement in the flange, provided Ash = 20 × 0.31 = 6.20 in.2 > 5.79 in.2.

Use #5 hoops and #5 crossties around all the longitudinal bars spaced at 4.0 in. on center in the flanges.

11.2. Confinement of the web

The maximum vertical spacing of the special boundary element transverse reinforcement in the web is equal to the following:

ACI 318-19 (18.10.6.4(e))

ACI 318-19 (Table 18.10.6.5(b)

Thus, use vertical spacing s = 4.00 in.

 (see Figure 8)

In the equation for so, the maximum center-to-center spacing of the laterally supported longitudinal bars, hx, is equal to 10.07 in.

For confinement of the web in the direction of analysis, bc = bc,1 = 22.5 in. (see Figure 8)

Figure 8 - Special boundary transverse reinforcement in the web of the wall

 

ACI 318-19 (Table 18.10.6.4(g))

Where a vertical spacing of 4.0 in. is used in the web to match the vertical spacing of the transverse reinforcement in the flanges.

With a #5 hoop and one #5 crosstie, provided Ash = 3 × 0.31 = 0.93 in.2 > 0.61 in.2

In the direction perpendicular to the direction of analysis, bc = bc,2 = 24.0 in.

 

ACI 318-19 (Table 18.10.6.4(g))

With a #5 hoop and two #5 crossties, provided Ash = 3 × 0.31 = 0.93 in.2 > 0.65 in.2 (one of the hoop legs is in the flange, so the area of that leg is not included in the provided area of transverse reinforcement).

Use a #5 hoop and #5 crossties spaced at 4.0 in. on center in the web.
