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 VRd1 (Art. 17.4.2.2 - Model I ) and the maximum allowable shear force VRd2 (Art. 17.4.2.2).
where:
As for stirrups, the necessary reinforcement area is given by (Art. 17.4.2.2):
As for bends, the necessary reinforcement area is given by (Art. 17.4.2.2):
