IRC-112-2011 & BS-EN-1992-2 (Provisions for Bearing Stress Check)
Design Resistance (FRdu)
fcd = 22.33MPa (for M50)
Bearing Manufacturer’s Interpretation
fcd2 =37.95MPa
1170
fcd1 = 21.1MPa
Proof Checker’s Interpretation
Partially Loaded Area – Force dispersion
Partial Discontinuity
Full Discontinuity
4. Case Study – Corbel
Visualize flow of stresses
Sketch an idealized strut-and-
tie model
Select area of ties
Check nodal zone stresses
Check strength of struts
Provide adequate anchorage
for the ties
