C.2 CONCRETE RELEASE STRENGTHA bottom-fiber stress limit of 0.65 (TxDOT Research Project 5197) <strong>and</strong> atop-fiber stress limit of 6 (ACI 318, 2008, Provision 18.4.1) are to be applied.where:= concrete release strengthEquation C.4Equation C.5The top-fiber stress limit is not satisfied, so “additional bonded re<strong>in</strong>forcement…shall be provided <strong>in</strong> the tensile zone to resist the entire tensile force with the assumptionof an uncracked section” (ACI 318, Provision 18.4.1).Equation C.6where:= height of tension zoneEquation C.7where:Ttz= tension <strong>in</strong> top portion of beam to be resisted by longitud<strong>in</strong>alre<strong>in</strong>forcement= stress <strong>in</strong> concrete, as a function of depthwhere:Equation C.8= stress <strong>in</strong> tension-zone longitud<strong>in</strong>al re<strong>in</strong>forcementAs,tz = provided longitud<strong>in</strong>al re<strong>in</strong>forcement, 4 – #7 <strong>in</strong> each top flange/web(double the tension-zone re<strong>in</strong>forcement compared to TxDOT st<strong>and</strong>ard)216
