EXAMPLE 9. INTEGRATED EXAMPLES OF FLAT PLATES

EXAMPLE 9 - FLAT PLATES 39 The details of the arrangement referring to the drilling reinforcement results are explained in the Memo on the third page below. The diameter of the reinforcement strands can be reduced if more reinforcement beams per quadrant are selected. For example, if 5 reinforcement spans per quadrant are selected then the following arrangement is proposed, and the table of reinforcement arrangement is as follows, i.e. a group of reinforcement lines with two F8 strands in each line, spaced 28 cm apart. In the same substructure if the user attempts to increase the level of loading and selects a value for the axial load of 1400 kN (user value) then radial armouring with 3 reinforcement beams per quadrant gives the following results with F16 reinforcement strands (84 reinforcement strands).
