In BS 8110, the required haunch length for a cantilever beam is determined by the following formula: Lh = 0.4Lc + 0.07R, where Lc is the cantilever length and R is the depth of the beam at the cantilever end. This formula ensures that the haunch provides enough support to prevent excessive deflection and cracking at the end of the cantilever.
The minimum haunch thickness for a cantilever beam in BS 8110 is 0.1 times the depth of the beam at the cantilever end. This ensures that the haunch is thick enough to provide sufficient support and prevent cracking.
The reinforcement for a haunch in BS 8110 should be designed to resist both bending and shear forces. The amount of reinforcement required can be determined using the standard procedures for flexural and shear design of reinforced concrete beams. It is important to also consider the type and arrangement of reinforcement to ensure proper distribution and anchorage.
Yes, a haunch can be used to increase the capacity of a cantilever beam in BS 8110. By increasing the depth of the beam at the cantilever end, the haunch can provide additional support and increase the bending and shear capacity of the beam. However, it is important to ensure that the haunch is designed properly to prevent overstressing and excessive deflection.
Some common mistakes to avoid when designing a haunch for a cantilever beam in BS 8110 include not considering the appropriate design formula, using an insufficient haunch thickness, and not properly designing the reinforcement for both bending and shear forces. It is important to carefully follow the design procedures and double-check all calculations to avoid these mistakes.
