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 and the maximum allowable shear force Vmax.
where:
The νc values are for fcu above 25 N/mm2 multiplied by (fcu / 25)1/3
As for stirrups, the necessary reinforcement area is given by:
As for bends, the necessary reinforcement area is given by:
where:
