    The document presents a simplified method for shear design using charts that allow the user to determine required stirrup spacing and minimum beam width given the shear force and member depth. By entering values for member depth and shear force into the charts, the first line above their intersection point provides the required stirrup spacing. The charts also show minimum beam widths corresponding to maximum allowable shear forces for each spacing. Fig. 3-11 can check if a section is adequate to resist the applied shear force without increasing dimensions. Once the section is verified, the charts provide the necessary stirrup spacing which must then be checked against maximum spacing criteria.

    The design charts in Figs. 3-8 through 3-11 offer another simplified method for shear design.

    By entering the charts


    with values of d and Vs = Vu - Vc for the member at the section under consideration, the required stirrup spacing
    can be obtained by locating the first line above the point of intersection of d and Vs. Values for spacing not shown
    can be interpolated from the charts if desired. Also given in the charts the values for the minimum practical beam
    widths bw that correspond to the maximum allowable Vs = 8 fc b w d for each given spacing s; any member
    which has at least this minimum bw will be adequate to carry the maximum applied Vu. Fig. 3-11 can also be used
    to quickly determine if the dimensions of a given section are adequate: any member with an applied Vu which is
    less than the applicable Vu(max) can carry this shear without having to increase the values of bw and/or d. Once the
    adequacy of the cross-section has been verified, the stirrup spacing can be established by using Figs. 3-8 through
    3-11. This spacing must then be checked for compliance with all maximum spacing criteria.
