Calculating the cutting length of haunch bar. / How to calculate the cutting length of a haunch bar?

 Let us find out the cutting length of the haunch bar as shown below.





Given data:

Haunch = 300 × 300mm.

Wall thickness = 400mm.

Raft thickness = 400mm.

Clear cover = 50mm.

Haunch bar = 10mm @ 150 c/c.


Calculation:





The cutting length of the haunch bar

= [ (ab + bc +cd) - (2nos. × 45° bend)]

Where,

ab = cd =200mm. (given)

To find out the length of bc, first, we have to calculate the value of x.

x = [bk + ke.]


Let us draw a line at the clear cover, intersecting the haunch bar at s, as shown below.




From the above drawing,

ks = [wall thickness - (2 × cover)]

     = [400mm. - (2 × 50mm.)]

     = 300mm.

bk= ks = 300mm.

(as two angles are 45° )


Length of ke = [ (fg - y )+ ( raft thickness - cover)]

                          ( from 2nd drawing.)


As haunch is 300 × 300mm., the length of side fg = 300mm.


Let us view the enlarged drawing so that we can calculate the value of y.


As the haunch bar is parallel to the haunch face, it makes a 45° angle at n & f.

mf = clear cover distance = 50mm.

As two angles are equal, side nm = side mf = 50mm.

By Pythagoras theorem,

nf2= (mf )2 +( nm )2

nf2= (50)2 +( 50 )2

nf = √5000

nf = 70.71mm.

y = [nf - cover]

= [70.71mm -50mm]

= 20.71mm.

As triangle nop is isosceles, side op = side no = y = 20.71mm.

Length of ke 

       = [ (fg - y )+ ( raft thickness - cover)]

      = [ (300mm. - 20.71mm ) + ( 400mm. - 50mm.)]

      = [279.29 + 350mm.]

      = 629.29mm.


Length of x = [bk + ke.]

                x = [300mm. + 629.29mm.]

                   = 929.29mm.

In triangle bec (2nd drawing),  side be = side ec = x = 929.29mm.

By Pythagoras theorem,

bc2= (be)2 +(ec)2

bc2= (x)2 +( x)2

      = (929.29)2 +( 929.29)2

 bc = √ 1727159.81     

       = 1314.21mm.


The cutting length of the haunch bar

=  [ (ab + bc +cd) - (2nos. × 45° bend)]

=  [ (200mm. + 1314.21mm. + 200mm.) - (2nos. × 1 × 10mm.)]

= [ 1714.21mm. - 20mm.]

= 1694.21mm.

= 1.694m.

Thank you for going through these calculation steps. Have a good day 😄.
