All reinforced concrete beams crack, generally starting at loads well below service level, and possibly even prior to loading due to restrained shrinkage. Flexural cracking due to loads is not only inevitable, but actually necessary for the reinforcement to be used effectively. Prior to the formation of flexural cracks, the steel stress is no more than n times the stress in the adjacent concrete, where n is the modular ratio E5/Ec. For materials common in current practice, n is approximately 8.
Experimental study on strength and flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete ...IOSR Journals
Abstract: Strength and flexural behaviour of reinforced concrete beams using deflected structural steel
reinforcement and the conventional steel reinforcement are conducted in this study. The reinforcement quantity
of both categories was approximately equalised. Mild steel flats with minimum thickness and corresponding
width are deflected to possible extent in a parabolic shape and semi-circular shape are fabricated and used as
deflected structural steel reinforcement in one part, whereas the fabrication of ribbed tar steel circular bars as
conventional reinforcement on the another part of the experiment for comparison in the concrete beams. All the
beams had same dimensions and same proportions of designed mix concrete, were tested under two point
loading system. As the result of experiments, it is found that the inverted catenary flats and their ties, transfers
the load through arch action of steel from loading points towards the supports before reaching the bottom
fibre at the centre of the beam as intended earlier. Thereby the load carrying capacity and the ductility ratio
has being increased in deflected structural steel reinforced beams when compared with ribbed tar steel
reinforced concrete beams, it is also observed that the failure mode (collapse pattern)is safer.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

2. TORSION
Torsion occurs appreciably in many structures, such as in the main girders of bridges, which are
twisted by transverse beams or slabs. It occurs in buildings where the edge of a floor slab and its
main beams are supported by a spandrel beam running between the exterior columns. This
situation is shown in the Figure 1.1, where the floor beam acts as off-center load and tends to
twist the spandrel beam laterally. Buildings in which the center of mass and center of rigidity do
not coincide are called asymmetrical structures. In such structures earthquakes can cause
dangerous torsional forces.
Figure 1.1 Off-center load causing torsion in the spandrel beam

4. Engr. Ayaz Waseem ( Lecturer/Lab Engr., C.E.D., U.E.T., Lhr) Design of Beam for Torsion
If a plain concrete member is subjected to pure torsion, it will crack and fail along 45 o spiral
lines due to diagonal tension corresponding to the torsional stresses. Although the diagonal
tension stresses produced by twisting are very similar to those caused by shear, they will occur
on all faces of a member. Maximum shears and torsional forces may occur in areas where
bending moments are small. For such cases, the interaction of shear and torsion can be
particularly important as it relates to design.
3. THRESHOLD TORSION
According to ACI 11.5.1, it shall be permitted to neglect torsion effects if,
For members subjected to an axial tensile or compressive force it shall be permitted to neglect
torsion effects if,
Cracking Torque
The cracking torsion under pure torsion Tcr is derived by replacing the actual section with an
equivalent thin-walled tube with a wall thickness t prior to cracking of 0.75 Acp /pcp and an area
enclosed by the wall centerline Ao equal to 2Acp /3. Cracking is assumed to occur when the
principal tensile stress reaches 0.33λ. In a nonprestressed beam loaded with torsion alone, the
principal tensile stress is equal to the torsional shear stress, τ = T/(2Aot). Thus, cracking occurs
when τ reaches 0.33λ, giving the cracking torque Tcr (According to R11.5.1) as
Using Eq. 1.3 in Eq. 1.1 we get,
The above equation states that Torsional effects can be neglected if the factored torsional
moment does not exceed approximately one-quarter of the cracking torque Tcr .

4. MOMENT REDISTRIBUTION
Equilibrium Torsion
For a statically determinate structure, there is only one path along which a torsional moment can
be transmitted to the supports. This type of torsional moment, which is referred to as equilibrium
torsion, cannot be reduced by redistribution of internal forces or by a rotation of member.
Equilibrium torsion is illustrated in Figure 1.2.
Figure 1.2 Equilibrium torsion
Compatibility Torsion
The torsional moment in a particular part of a statically indeterminate structure may be
substantially reduced if that part of the structure cracks under torsion and/or rotates. The result
will be a redistribution of forces in the structure. This type of torsion, which is illustrated in
Figure 1.3, is referred to as compatibility torsion, in the sense that part of structure in question
twists in order to keep the deformations of the structure compatible.
Figure 1.3 Compatibility Torsion

6. Engr. Ayaz Waseem ( Lecturer/Lab Engr., C.E.D., U.E.T., Lhr) Design of Beam for Torsion
In a statically indeterminate structure where reduction of the torsional moment in a member can
occur due to redistribution of internal forces upon cracking, the maximum factored torsional
moment Tu shall be permitted to be reduced to the following values (According to ACI 11.5.2.2),
For members subjected to an axial tensile or compressive force it shall be permitted to neglect
torsion effects if,
When appreciable torsion is present, it may be more economical to select a larger beam than
would normally be selected so that torsional reinforcement does not have to be used. Such a
beam may very well be more economical than a smaller one with the closed stirrups and
additional longitudinal steel required for torsion design.
5. TORSIONAL STRESSES
The torsional stress adds to the shear stress on one side of a member and subtract from them on
the other. This situation is illustrated in the Figure 1.4.
Torsional stresses are quite low near the center of a solid beam. Because of this, hollow
beams are assumed to have almost exactly the same torsional strengths as solid beams with the
same outside dimensions.
In solid sections the shear stresses due to torsion Tu are concentrated in an outside tube of
the member as shown in Figure 1.4(b), while the shear stresses due to Vu are spread across the
width of the solid section.
After cracking, the resistance of concrete to torsion is assumed to be negligible. The
tension cracks tend to spiral around members located at approximately 45o angles with the
longitudinal edges of those members. Torsion is assumed to be resisted by an imaginary space
truss located in the outer tube of concrete of the member. Such a truss is shown in Figure. 1.5.
The longitudinal steel in the corners of the member and the closed transverse stirrups act as
tension members in the truss, while the diagonal concrete between the stirrups acts as struts of
compression members. The cracked concrete is still capable of taking compression stresses.

8. Engr. Ayaz Waseem ( Lecturer/Lab Engr., C.E.D., U.E.T., Lhr) Design of Beam for Torsion
6. TORSIONAL MOMENT STRENGTH
According to ACI 11.5.3.1, the cross-sectional dimensions shall be such that:
(a) For solid section,
(b) For hollow section,
The size of a cross section is limited for two reasons; first, to reduce unsightly cracking, and
second, to prevent crushing of the surface concrete due to inclined compressive stresses due to
shear and torsion. In Eq. (1-7) and (1-8), the two terms on the left-hand side are the shear stresses
due to shear and torsion. The sum of these stresses may not exceed the stress causing shear
cracking plus 0.66 . If the wall thickness of a hollow section is less than Aoh/Ph, the second
term in Eq. 1.8 is to be taken not as Tu Ph /1.7Aoh2 but as Tu /1.7Aoh, where t is the thickness of the
wall where stresses are being checked.
7. TORSIONAL REINFORCEMENT REQUIRED
The torsional strength of reinforced concrete beams can be greatly increased by adding torsional
reinforcement consisting of closed stirrups and longitudinal bars. If the factored torsional
moment for a particular member is larger than the value given in Eq. 1.1, then the ACI 11.5.5.2
provides an expression to compute the absolute minimum area of transverse closed stirrups that
may be used.
From the knowledge of shear design of beam it is clear that the area Av obtained is for both legs
of a two-legged stirrup. The value At, which represents the area of the stirrups needed for torsion,
is for only one leg of the stirrup. Therefore the value Av + 2At is the total area of both legs of the
stirrups needed for shear plus torsion. According to ACI 11.5.3.6, area of stirrups At used for
resisting torsion is computed as follows,
7
9. Engr. Ayaz Waseem ( Lecturer/Lab Engr., C.E.D., U.E.T., Lhr) Design of Beam for Torsion
where Ao shall be determined by analysis except that it shall be permitted to take Ao equal to
0.85Aoh; θ shall not be taken smaller than 30o nor larger than 60o. It shall be permitted to take θ
equal to 45o for nonprestressed members.
Where torsional reinforcement is required, the total area of longitudinal reinforcement to
resist torsion, Al, shall be computed according to ACI 11.5.3.7
The minimum total area of longitudinal torsional reinforcement, Al(min), shall be computed
according to ACI 11.5.5.3 as,
where At /s shall not be less than 0.175bw/fyt.
Maximum torsion generally acts at the ends of beams, and a result the longitudinal torsion bars
should be anchored for their yield strength at the face of the supports. To do this it may be
necessary to use hooks.
8. OTHER ACI CODE PROVISIONS
1) ACI 11.5.6.1
Maximum spacing, Smax, for transverse torsion reinforcement is smaller of;
a) 300 mm.
b) Ph/8.
2) ACI 11.5.6.2
The longitudinal reinforcement required for torsion must be distributed around the
inside perimeter of the closed stirrups with a maximum spacing of 300 mm. There shall
be at least one longitudinal bar or tendon in each corner of the stirrups. Longitudinal
bars shall have a diameter at least 0.042 times the stirrup spacing, but not less than No.
10.
3) ACI 11.5.6.3
Torsional reinforcement must be provided for a distance not less than bt + d beyond the
point where it is theoretically no longer required. The term bt represent the width of
that part of the member cross-section which contains the torsional stirrups.
