5. 1 SHEAR STRENGTH PROVIDED BY CONCRETE

Code Requirements (Section 411.2, 2010 NSCP)

The basic code requirement on shear strength is that the factored shear force shall be equal to
or less than the design shear of the section.

𝐕𝐮 ≤ Φ𝐕𝐧

Where: Vu = factored shear force at section considered

Φ = strength reduction factor in shear = 0.75

Vn is the nominal shear strength computed by Vn = Vc + Vs

Vc is the nominal shear strength provided by concrete

Vs is the nominal shear strength provided by the shear reinforcements.

1. Stirrups making an angle of 45 degrees or more with longitudinal tension
reinforcement.
2. Longitudinal reinforcement with bent portion making an angle of 30 degrees or more

5.3 DESIGN OF SHEAR REINFORCEMENTS

If 𝐕𝐮 > Φ𝐕𝐜 , provide shear reinforcement.

1. Calculate the maximum ultimate shear and the ultimate shear at d-distance from face
of the support ( and at other points where ultimate shear shall be determined).
2. Calculate the ultimate shear strength provided by concrete & compare with the ultimate
shear.

Φ𝐕𝐜 =0.75 x 0.17λ√𝐟𝐜′ 𝐛𝐰 d

 If Vu > ΦVc ,then proceed to step 3.
If Vu < ΦVc but Vu > 0.5ΦVc , then provide minimum area of reinforcement,
proceed to step 4
If Vu < 0.5ΦVc , then shear reinforcements are not needed.

3. If Vu > ΦVc

Solve the shear strength Vs to be provided by concrete at d-distance from face of the
𝐕 −𝚽𝐕
support where 𝐕𝐬 = 𝐮 𝚽 𝐜
If Vs > 0.66 √fc′ bwd, the beam fails in shear so enlarge the section.
If Vs < 0.66 √fc′ bwd, the beam is safe in shear.

Example 5.1. A rectangular beam is to be designed to carry an ultimate shear force of 125 KN.

a. If no web reinforcement is to be used and if fc′ = 24.5 MPa, what is the effective depth of
the beam if b = 460 mm?
b. If minimum reinforcement is necessary, what is the minimum depth of the cross section
if b = 320mm?

Solution:
a. If Vu = 0.5ΦVc ; Vu = 0.50x 0.75 x 0.17λ√fc′ bwd

125 x 103 = 0.50x 0.75 x 0.17(1)√24.5 x 460d; d = 861.17 mm

b. If Vu = ΦVc ; 125 x 103 = 0.75 x 0.17(1)√24.5 x 320d; d = 618.97 mm

Example 5.2. A simply-supported rectangular beam is subjected to a dead load of 40 KN/m (

including its own weight) and a live load of 45 KN/m, both acting throughout its 6 m length. If
b = 400 mm and d = 560mm, fc′= 21 MPa and fyt = 276 MPa, throughout what part of the beam
is reinforcement required? Design the beam for shear and draw the details. Height of beam h =
630mm. Use λ = 1.

Solution:
wu = 1.2 wD + 1.6 wL = 1.2 (40) + 1.6 (45) = 120 KN/m;
L
Vumax = Reaction R = wu = 120 (3) = 360 KN

By ratio and proportion, =
2.44 3
Vud = 292.8 KN → ultimate shear at d-distance from face of the support.
ΦVc =0.75 x 0.17λ√fc′ bwd = 0.75 x 0.17 x 1 √21 (400 x 560)/ (1 x 103 ) = 130.88 KN
Vud > ΦVc , therefore, shear reinforcement is necessary.
At d-distance from face of the support,
Vu −ΦVc 292.80−130.88
Vsd = = = 215.89 KN
Φ 0.75
0.66√fc′ bwd = 0.66√21 (400x560)/(1 x 103 ) = 677.48 KN > (Vsd = 215.89 KN )
Therefore the section is safe in shear.
0.33√fc′ bwd = 0.33√21 (400x560)/(1 x 103 ) = 338.74 KN > (Vsd = 215.89 KN )

Therefore Smax = = = 280mm or Smax = 600 mm. Smax = 280 mm governs.

x5 = x2+ x4 = 1.91 + 0.54 = 2.45m
Web reinforcement is required from the face of the support to the point 1.91m from the face of
the support and minimum reinforcement is required from 1.91m to 2.45m from the face of the
support. Beyond 2.45m from the face of the support, no web reinforcement is required.

DETAILS OF SHEAR REINFORCEMENT

Example 5.3. A 6-m simply supported beam with end supports carries a 100 KN/m uniformly
distributed ultimate load acting throughout its entire length and a concentrated ultimate load
of 120 KN acting at the midspan. The beam has a width of 300 mm and an effective depth of
490 mm. If fc′ = 24.5 MPa and fyt = 276 MPa , design the beam for shear and draw the details.
Solution:
Vumax = 360 KN ; Vud = Vumax – wu d = 360 – 100 x 0.49
Vud = 311 KN → ultimate shear at d-distance from face of the support.
ΦVc =0.75 x 0.17λ√ fc′ bwd = 0.75 x 0.17 x 1 √24.5 (300 x 490)/ (1 x 103) = 92.77 KN
Vud > ΦVc , therefore, shear reinforcement is necessary.

Therefore the section is safe in shear.
0.33√ fc′ bwd = 0.33√24.5 (300x490)/(1 x 103 ) = 240.11 KN < (Vsd = 290.97 KN )

a. Shear strength of concrete subjected to shear and flexure only if it is subjected to a

Problem 5.2. A 5.8-m simply supported beam with end supports carries a 100 KN/m uniformly
distributed ultimate load acting throughout its entire length and a concentrated ultimate load
of 120 KN acting 2.6m from the left support . The beam has a width of 300 mm and an effective
depth of 500 mm. If fc′ = 24.5 MPa and yield strength for flexure is 415 MPa and for shear
reinforcement is 276 MPa, design the beam for flexure and shear.
Problem 5.3. A rectangular beam has a width of 280 mm and an effective depth, d, of 430 mm.
The beam is reinforced with 4 pcs- 25 mm diameter bottom bars. The beam is subjected to a
factored shear force of 150 KN at d-distance from the face of the support . The beam is
subjected to a tensile axial force of 200 KN. If fc′ = 24.5 MPa and yield strength for flexure is
415 MPa and for shear reinforcement is 276 MPa, and λ = 1.0, determine the following:
a. Maximum shear strength of concrete.
