BS 8110-1:1997 Section —— 5.8.6 Joints transmitting mainly compression. ‘This type of joint is most commonly used for horizontal joints botwoon load-bearing walls or columns. The joint should be designed to resist all the forces and moments implicit in the assumptions made in analysing the structure as a whole and in designing the individual member to be joined, In the absence of more accurate information derived from a comprehensive programme of suitable test, the area of concrete to be considered in calculating the strength of the joint in a wall or column should be the greater of 4) the area ofthe in-situ concrete ignoring the area of any intruding floor or beam units (this area should not be taken as greater than 90 % of the wall or column area); or ) 76 % of the ares of contact between wall or column and joint, NOTE Only thse parts othe floor beam units that are sold over the bering shoul be coraidered an the wits shouldbe properly bolded on conrete or mortar of adequate quality Particular attention should be paid to detailing the joint and joint reinforcement to prevent premature splitting or spalling of the concrote in the ends of the precast members, 5.8.1 Joints transmitting shear Joints transmitting shear may occur when a wall acts as @ wind bracing wall o a floor aete as a wind girder. They may be asstumed effective ifthe joint is grouted with a suitable conerote or mortar mix and the appropriate condition is satisfied. 8) Units transmitting shear in plane. ‘These should be restrained to prevent their moving apart. No reinforcement need be provided in or across the joint, and the sides of the units forming the joint may hhave a normal finish, when the design ultimate shear stress in the joint does not exceed 0.23 Nimm? ‘Very smooth moulded finishes should be roughened, ») Joints under compression in all design conditions, No reinforcement need be provided when the sides ‘or ends of the panels or units forming the joint have a rough as-cast finish and when the design ultimate ‘shear stress does not exceed 0.45 N/mm. ©) Shear stress due to ultimate loads lees than 1. N/mm, calculated on the minimum root area of a castellated joint. Separation of the units normal to the joints should be prevented by either steel ties ‘across the ends of the joint or by the compressive force normal to the joint under all loading conditions, A taper is usually provided to the projecting keys of a castellated joint to ease the removal of formwork. ‘To limit movements in the joint, this taper should not be excessive, equation 61 01/94/2008, Uncontrolled Copy, ° BSI | Fy is0.87/,A,; or the anchorage value of the reinforeement, whichever is the lesser; A, is the minimum area of reinforcement; a; is the angle of internal friction between the faces of the joint, NOTE Tan ayean vary between 0.7 and 1.7 andi est determined by tae, Howove, for oneretetocanrete connection, the ‘alos ued nay be iaken from Table 8S ©) Resistance to sliding provided by other means.
