Slab Overhang design
Slab Overhang design
(OP)
I am designing slab overhang for negative moment due to vehicle collision for post and beam railings using LRFD. For the design Case 1, I calculated the moment and thrust on the base of the post using value from LRFD Table A13.2-1, for TL-4 for transverse force. Now the problem is it requires big amount of reinforcement which is ridiculously large and does not seem practical. Am I doing something wrong?
Any help appreciated.
Thanks

With 8" nominal decks (slightly thicker on overhang due to haunch) we typically end up with #6 @ 6" for reinforcing, adding additional overhang bars as necessary.
