Shear Design of RC Beams 2
Shear Design of RC Beams 2
## Introduction
Reinforced Concrete (RC) beams are commonly used in construction of buildings, bridges,
and other structures. Shear design of RC beams is an important aspect of structural
engineering as it determines the load carrying capacity and stability of these structures. In
this lecture, we will discuss the principles of shear design and the methodologies used to
calculate the shear strength of RC beams.
## Shear in RC Beams
Shear is the type of force that acts perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of a beam and is
responsible for the bending and twisting of the beam. The shear force in RC beams is
resisted by the combination of concrete and steel reinforcement.
1. Concrete strength
2. Steel reinforcement
3. Beam geometry
4. Bond between concrete and steel reinforcement
The total shear strength of an RC beam can be calculated using the following equation:
where:
# Differential Calculus
## Introduction
Differential calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of rates of change
and slopes of curves. It is a fundamental tool in mathematics, physics, engineering, and
many other fields. In this lecture, we will discuss the basics of differential calculus, including
limits and derivatives.
## Limits
A limit is a value that a function approaches as the input approaches a particular value. The
concept of limits is the foundation of differential calculus. Given a function f(x), the limit of
f(x) as x approaches a is denoted as:
$$\lim_{x\to a}f(x)$$
The limit of a function exists if the values of the function approach a fixed value as the input
approaches a particular value.
## Derivatives
A derivative is the rate of change of a function at a particular point. Given a function f(x), the
derivative of f(x) at x=a is denoted as:
The derivative of a function at a point represents the slope of the tangent line to the
function at that point.
## Properties of Derivatives
## Implicit Differentiation
Implicit differentiation is a technique for finding the derivative of a function when the
function is not given in explicit form. Given an equation of the form F(x,y) = 0, implicit
differentiation involves taking the derivative of both sides of the equation with respect to x
and solving for the derivative of y.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, differential calculus is a branch of mathematics that deals with the study of
rates of change and slopes of curves. The concept of limits and derivatives are the
foundation of differential calculus, and there are several techniques for finding derivatives,
including power rule, sum rule, product rule, quotient rule, and chain rule. Differential
calculus has numerous applications in various fields, including optimization, physics,
economics, and engineering.
