The shear design resistance is calculated from the shear characteristic resistance VRd,s by VRd,s= VRk,s/γMs, where the partial
safety factor γMs is 1.25.

VRd : System design shear resistance

VRd : System design shear resistance
VRd = lower of VRd,c and VRd,s

Combined loading: Only if tensile load and shear load applied (See page 274 and examples pages 277-284).
