Lecture 4 Shear EC2

Design for shear is needed when the applied shear stress may exceed the shear capacity of a beam. Shear reinforcement such as steel links is used to prevent shear failure. The design process involves: 1. Calculating the applied shear stress and comparing it to the concrete shear capacity from tables. 2. If the applied stress exceeds capacity, determining the required shear reinforcement through calculation of the shear force and spacing of links. 3. Providing minimum shear reinforcement over the length where shear is critical.

DESIGN FOR SHEAR

Design for shear is needed when a failure of a


beam may happen due to the applied shear
stress exceeding its shear capacity.

Design for Shear


1.Find the shear stress vEd in the section using the
formula :

V
v Ed
Ed 0.9b d

vEd -is the shear stress in the section


V Ed- the applied shear force on the section
b - is the width of the section
d - is the effective depth of the section

2. Find the concrete shear Capacity from

Rd, maxcot 2.5

the Table A1 below

Compare VEd with VRd

Example 3. A reinforced concrete beam is


supported over 350mm square reinforced
concrete column at both ends. Design the beam
shear reinforcement to EC2 given:
The beam dimensions as shown below
The concrete fcK=40 N/mm2
The steel fyv =500 N/mm2
The ultimate uniformly distributed design load
=240 kN/m
The beam main reinforcement is as shown below
