Shear Design in CONCRETE Columns

The design criterion for VEd/VRd,c is displayed as governing, although there should be a shear reinforcement designed. Also, the design of VEd/VRds is missing. Why?

Answer:

In the add-on module, the shear design is performed in the following sequence:

  1. VEd/VRd,c
  2. VEd/VRd,max
  3. VEd/VRd,s

In the course of VEd/VRd,max, the inclination of the concrete strut is determined, and in the course of VEd/VRd,s, the reinforcement amount is determined iteratively.

If VEd/VRd,max is not fulfilled in the design process, the subsequent design of VEd/VRd,s is not performed and the design criterion VEd/VRd,c is displayed.
