bw is the smallest width of the cross-section in the tensile area [mm]

O"cp = NEd/Ac < 0,2 fed [MPa]
NEd is the axial force in the cross-section due to loading or prestressing [in N] (NEd>O
IEJ)for compression). The influence of imposed deformations on NEd may be ignored.@1)
Ac is the area of concrete cross section [mm 2]
VRd,c is [N]
Note: The values of CRd,c, Vmin and k1 for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex. The
recommended value for CRd,c is 0,18Iyc, that for Vmin is given by Expression (6.3N) and that for k1 is 0,15.

Vmin =0,035 k3/2 . fck 1/2 (6.3N)

(2) In prestressed single span members without shear reinforcement, the shear resistance of
the regions cracked in bending may be calculated using Expression (6.2a). In regions
uncracked in bending (where the flexural tensile stress is smaller than fctk ,o,05/YC) the shear
resistance should be limited by the tensile strength of the concrete. In these regions the shear
resistance is given by:

VRd,c =
I .b
-s- w ~ (
fctd
)2 + a'O"Cpfctd (6.4)

where
I is the second moment of area
is the width of the cross-section at the centroidal axis, allowing for the presence of
ducts in accordance with Expressions (6.16) and (6.17)
s is the first moment of area above and about the centroidal axis
a, Ixllpt2 ~ 1,0 for pretensioned tendons
= 1,0 for other types of prestressing
Ix is the distance of section considered from the starting pOint of the transmission
length
Ipt2 is the upper bound value of the transmission length of the prestressing element
according to Expression (8.18).
O-cp is the concrete compressive stress at the centroidal axis due to axial loading
and/or prestressing (O"cP = NEd /Ac in MPa, NEd> 0 in compression)

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
resistance should be found by calculating VRd,c at various axes in the cross-section.
