(3) Shear
 Shear resistance of a member with shear reinforcement is equal to:
VRd  VRd , s
In regions of the member where VEd ≤VRd,c no calculated shear reinforcement is necessary.
In regions where VEd > VRd,c sufficient shear reinforcement should be provided in order that
VEd ≤VRd.

Members not requiring design shear reinforcement

VRd ,c  [CRd ,c k (1001 fck )1/ 3  k1 cp ]bwd

With a minimum of
VRd ,c  (vmin  k1 cp )bwd

Members requiring design shear reinforcement

The shear resistance, VRd is the smaller value of:
VRd ,s  ( Asw / s) zf ywd cot 
and
VRd ,max  cwbw z1 fcd /(cot   tan )

Serviceability Limit States (SLS) Design

(1) Stress Limitation
The compressive stress shall be limited to a value k1fck in order to avoid longitudinal cracks
under the characteristic combination of loads. A value of K1 can be defined by the user and
default value is ‘0.6’.

If the stress in the concrete under the quasi-permanent loads is less than k2fck, linear creep may
be assumed. If the stress in concrete exceeds k2fck, non-linear creep should be considered. A
value of K2 can be defined by the user and default value is ‘0.45’.

Unacceptable cracking or deformation may be assumed to be avoided if, under the

characteristic combination of loads, the tensile stress in the reinforcement does not exceed k3fyk.
A value of K3 can be defined by the user and default value is ‘0.8’.

Where the stress is caused by an imposed deformation, the tensile stress should not exceed k4fyk.
A value of K4 can be defined by the user and default value is ‘1.0’.

(2) Crack Control

A limiting calculated crack width, wmax, taking into account the proposed function and nature of the
structure and the costs of limiting cracking, should be established.

(3) Deflection Control

The appearance and general utility of the structure could be impaired when the calculated sag of a
beam, slab or cantilever subjected to quasi-permanent loads exceeds span/250.
For the deflection subjected to characteristic loads can be checked by user defined limit. Default
limit is Span/250.
