Required Shear Strength at Column Face

Required shear strength at the face of the column

$V_{u} = V_{pr} + V_{g (at face of column)}$

$V_{u} = \frac{2 \cdot M_{pr}}{L_{h}} + \frac{w_{u} \cdot L_{cf}}{2}$

$V_{u} = 84.4 kips + \frac{1.15 \frac{kip}{ft} \cdot 344.8 in}{2}$

$V_{u} = 84.4 kips + 16.5 kips$

$V_{u} = 100.9 kips$

V_u	Required shear strength at the face of the column
Vpr	Shear required to produce the maximum probable moment at the plastic hinge location
V_{g (at face of column)}	Shear from gravity loads at the face of the column
w_u	Gravity loads on the beam
L_cf	Clear length of the beam L_cf = L_beam - d_{c =} 360.0 in - 15.2 in = 344.8 in
