Design of Shear Reinforcement for Slabs
The program allows determination of the required amount of shear reinforcement form by stirrups and bends, respectively.
First, the program computes the ultimate shear strength in a given section - the shear force transmitted by concrete Vc (Art. 6.3.3) and the maximum allowable shear force Vmax (Art. 6.3.1).
where:
for h0/b ≤ 4
for h0/b ≥ 6
intermediate values are obtained using linear interpolation method
βc = 1 for: ≤ C50
βc = 0.8 for: ≥ C80, intermediate values are obtained using linear interpolation method.
As for stirrups, the necessary reinforcement area is given by (Art. 6.3.4):
As for bends, the necessary reinforcement area is given by (Art. 6.3.5):
