Design of shear reinforcement for plates

The program allows determination of the required amount of shear reinforcement form by stirrups and hooks, respectively.

First, the program computes the ultimate shear strength in a given section – the shear force transmitted by concrete V_Rd,c (Art. 6.2.2(1)) and the maximum allowable shear force V_Rd,max (Art. 6.2.3(3)).

where:

As for stirrups the necessary reinforcement area is given by (Art. 6.2.3(3)):

As for hooks the necessary reinforcement area is given by (Art. 6.2.3(4)):

Standard values of coefficients ν, ν_min are built-in the program – these values can also be inputted by the user depending on the selected National annex.
