Solution
Design shear force,
VEd = wL 12 = 85 X 8.5 / 2 361 kN

6.2.3 Concrete strut capacity

= (0.36 X 225 X 500 X 25 (1- 25/250 ) ,!
(cot 0 + tan 0)
314 kN ==!> 0 22 ° cot 0 = 2.5 I
456 kN ==!> 0 = 45 ° cot 0 = 1.0

> VRd, max cot 0 = 2.5

< VRd, max cot 0 = 1.0
·,
==!> Therefore angle 0 > 22°

0 = 0.5sin -l [V Ed/ 0.18bwd'fck( l -f�250)]

= 0.5sin -lf _ 361 X 103
Y:J.18 X 225 X 500 X 25(1 - 25/250
0.5sin -l {0.79} = 26.2 °
Use: 0 = 26.2 ° tan 0 = 0.49 cot 0 = 2.03
