Pier Shear Strength

Note: Reference SDG7 Example 9.4.2
Strength reduction factor σ= 0.75
Clear cover to stirrup Cside = 1.500 in
Bar size of vertical pier Barvert = 1
reinforcing
Diameter of vert. pier reinf. dbvert = n/a in
Bar size of pier ties Bartie = 4 Ties are required at the top of all piers where anchor rods are
embedded. Min. (2) #4's or (3) #3's in the top 5". However,
calculate the nominal shear strength for the remainder of the
pier assuming no ties.

Diameter of pier tie bars dbtie = 0.500 in

Distance from c.g. of vertical c '= #VALUE! in #ADDIN?
bars to pier face
Pier width perpendicular to the Wa = 20.000 in
shear load
Pier width parallel to the shear Wb = 20.000 in
load
Depth of section from compr. d= #VALUE! in #ADDIN?
face to c.g. of reinf.
Factored shear load Vu = 36.8 kips
Design shear strength of jsVc'= #VALUE! kips #ADDIN?
pier without shear reinforcing Per ACI 11.4.6.1, piers without ties can only use 1/2 the nominal
(ties) concrete shear strength
Capacity ratio CR= #VALUE! #ADDIN? #VALUE!

Shear Reinforcing in Pier

Notes: Add ties when Vu exceeds the shear capacity of the pier without shear reinforcing.
Reference SDG7 Example 9.4.2.
Strength reduction factor ϕs = 0.75
Design shear strength for piers jsVc= #VALUE! kips
with shear reinforcing #ADDIN?
Bar size of pier ties Bartie = 4 Must provide min. (2) #4's or (3) #3's at top of piers
Diameter of pier tie bars dbtie = 0.500 in
Area of one tie bar Atie = 0.200 in2
Maximum tie bar spacing smax = #VALUE! in #ADDIN?
Spacing of tie bars stie = 8.000 in #VALUE!
Number of legs for tie bars Nlegs = 2 Minimum of two legs as bars must wrap around the reinforcing
at the corners of the pier, however, there may be additional
interior ties.
