Ast is the tensile reinforcement which extends by length greater than lbd+d beyond section
considered (Fig. 10.5)
(3) In prestressed single span members without design shear reinforcement both Zone
B and Zone C may exist. For Zone C, cracked in bending the expression for VRd.c

tensile stress in the region under maximum bending moment is smaller than fctk 0.05/Jm,
the shear resistance should be limited by the tensile strength of concrete . In these
regions the shear resistance is given by

Where notations are as per Section 10.3.1
For cross-sections where the width varies over the height, the maximum principal stress may
occur on an axis other than the centroidal axis. In such a case the minimum value of the shear
capacity should be found by calculating VRd.c at axes cross-section.
