Traditional “Vc + Vs” Approach
This approach was the basis for the “simplified method” in the old
Canadian Concrete Design Code [CSA A23.3 1994].
It can be summarized as follows:
─ Vr ≥ Vf
─ Vr = Vc + Vs
─ Vc = 0.2∙λ∙c∙ f 'c bw d
(for beams with > min. shear reinf. or d < 300 mm)

1000 d c f 'c bw d but ≥ 0.1∙λ∙c∙ f 'c bw d

Vc = shear resistance provided by concrete
Vs = shear resistance provided by steel
(provide stirrups if necessary!)

Since the maximum shear occurs at the support, use 𝑑=631mm
when determining 𝑑 for the critical section (at support). Although
we could consider increasing 𝑑 based on 𝑑=654mm in the positive
moment region, it is conservative to use the smaller value through-
out

Note:
- Further check of spacing at 2500 should be done to ensure it is
500 mm
- no stirrups required when Vf drops below Vc (if h < 750mm),
however some engineers would provide minimum stirrups
regardless.
─ definition of D-regions:
Model Components:
1) Compression strut:
𝒇𝒄 = 𝝓𝒄 𝒇𝒄𝒖

2. Tension tie:
Tf ≤ Tr where: Tr = s∙As∙fy
2) CCT
3) CTT or TTT
─ anchorage
of tie reinforce-
ment at nodes:
Solution Method:
1) Isolate the D-region.
2) Compute boundary stresses (these are obtained from structural
analysis and often from B-region design).
3) Subdivide the boundary and compute the resultant forces.
4) Draw a truss to transmit the forces between the boundaries.
5) Check the stresses in the truss elements.
6) Draw model to scale!!!
Guidelines:
Elastic analysis is useful for predicting 1st crack location and for
guiding the engineer as to where to place the reinforcement.
Model with the fewest and shortest ties will usually be the “best”.
