ANALYSIS FOR SHEAR

REINFORCEMENT
EXAMPLE
A rectangular concrete beam has a width of 260 mm and overall depth of 470 mm.
Concrete cover is 60 mm from the center of bars. Use 𝑓′𝑐 = 21 MPa, 𝑓𝑦 = 415 MPa
and 𝑓𝑦𝑡 = 275 MPa. The beam is reinforced with 3 – 25 mm ϕ bars. The section
being considered is subjected to the following loads: 𝑉𝐷 = 30 kN, 𝑉𝐿 = 40 kN, 𝑀𝐷
= 30 kN-m, 𝑀𝐿 = 50 kN-m. Determine:
(a) the shear strength provided by concrete using the simplified formula;
(b) the shear strength provided by concrete using the detailed formula;
(c) the shear strength provided by concrete using the simplified formula if it is
subjected to axial compressive force of 80 kN;
(d) the shear strength provided by concrete using the detailed formula if it is
subjected to axial compressive force of 80 kN.
