Interface shear at the wall base

Concrete strength Fck = 40 N/mm2


Steel strength fyd = 500 N/mm2
Length of the wall (h) = 3000 mm
Thickness of wall (b) = 200 mm
Shear force of the wall = 1350 kN
Axial load = 1500 kN
Average interface shear at the wall base:
VEdi = 2.25 N/mm2

The interface shear resistance at the base of wall is determined by the expression 6.25 in EC2
VRdi = C fctd + µ σn + µ ρ fyd

C fctd = 0.2 X 0.14 fck 2/3 = 0.33 N/mm2

µ -Co eff = 0.6

µ σn = 1.5 N/mm2

C fctd + µ σn = 1.83 N/mm2

Required shear friction reinforcement is as follows

VEdi = VRdi = C fctd + µ σn + µ ρ fyd


= 1.83 + µ ρ fyd
ρ = 0.0016

Total Asv = 971.2874 mm2
