Shear Stresses in Rectangular Beam

 Shear stresses in RC Beam

 The shear stresses in reinforced concrete member cannot be computed
from v = VQ/Ib, because concrete is not an elastic homogeneous
material.

Shear Stresses in Rectangular Beam

 Shear stresses in RC Beam

 Tests have shown that the average shear stress in a RC beam can be
expressed by :
νavg = V/bd
 νavg = V/ bd
The maximum value, which occurs at
the neutral axis, will exceed this
average by an unknown but moderate νmax
amount.

Diagonal Tension in RC Beams subjected to

Flexure and Shear Loading

• Types of Cracks in Reinforced Concrete Beam

1. Flexure Cracks

2. Diagonal Tension Cracks

I. Web-shear cracks: These cracks are formed at locations where flexural stresses are
negligibly small.

II. Flexure shear cracks: These cracks are formed where shear force and bending
moment have large values.

Web Reinforcement Requirement in

Reinforced Concrete Beams
 Nominal Shear Capacity (Vn) of Reinforced Concrete Beam
 The general expression for shear capacity of reinforced concrete beam
is given as:

Vn = Vc + Vs ( ACI 318-19, 22.5.1.1)

Where,
Vc = Nominal shear capacity of concrete,

Vs = Nominal shear capacity of shear reinforcement.

Note: In case of flexural capacity Mn = Mc + Ms (Mc = 0, at ultimate load), however, in

case of shear capacity, the term Vc ≠ 0.

Department of Civil Engineering, University of Engineering and Technology Peshawar, Pakistan

Web Reinforcement Requirement in

Reinforced Concrete Beams
 Nominal Shear Capacity (Vn) of Reinforced Concrete Beam
 Test evidence have led to the conservative assumption that just prior to
failure of a web-reinforced beam, three internal shear components
contributing to the total shear, the sum of which is referred as shear
capacity of concrete Vc.

 Vc = Vcz + Vd + Viy

Where,
Viy = Vertical component of sizable interlock forces.
Vcz = Internal vertical forces in the uncracked portion of the concrete.
Vd = Internal vertical forces across the longitudinal steel, acting as a dowel.

Web Reinforcement Requirement in

Reinforced Concrete Beams
 Nominal Shear Capacity (Vn) of Reinforced Concrete Beam
 Vn = Vc + Vs

 According to the ACI 22.5.5.1,

Vc = Vcz + Vd + Viy = 2√ (fc′) bwd

where;

bw = Width of beam
Av,min =(50bw s)/fy ACI 10.6.2.2
d = Effective Depth of beam
Av,min =(0.75 fc ′ bw s)/fy
 It is important to mention here that this value of shear strength of concrete
exists at the ultimate i.e., just prior to the failure condition.

Web Reinforcement Requirement in

Reinforced Concrete Beams
 Nominal Shear Capacity (Vn) of Reinforced Concrete Beam
 Vn = Vc + Vs

 Vs = n Av fy

 The number of stirrups ‘n’ spaced a distance ‘s’ apart depend on the length
‘p’ of the horizontal projection of the diagonal crack, as shown, hence, n =
p/s. This length ‘p’ is conservatively assumed to be equal to the effective
depth ‘d’ of the beam; thus n = d/s

 Therefore; Vs = Av fy d / s (ACI 318-19, 22.5.8.5.3)

Web Reinforcement Requirement in

Reinforced Concrete Beams
 Design Shear Capacity (ΦVn) of Reinforced Concrete Beam
 ΦVn = ΦVc + ΦVs

 To avoid shear failure ΦVn ≥ Vu Av is the cross sectional area of web reinforcement within
a distance s, for single loop stirrups (2 legged), Av = 2As
 ΦVn = Vu As = cross sectional area of the stirrup bar

 ΦVc + ΦVs = Vu
a a
 ΦVc + Φ Av fy d / s= Vu

Φ A𝑣 fy d At section a-a, if #3 bar is used As = 0.11 in2,

 s=
(Vu−Φ Vc) Av = 2 x 0.11= 0.22 in2

 Φ = 0.75 (ACI 21.2.2)

ACI Code Provisions for Shear Design

 Location of Critical Section for Critical Shear Vu

In most of the cases, for the

design of shear, critical shear
is taken at a distance “d” from
the support instead of
maximum shear at the face of
the support.

ACI Code Provisions for Shear Design

 A typical half shear force diagram for a simply supported beam,

subjected to uniformly distributed load is shown below. The critical
shear Vu , ΦVc and ΦVc/2 are plotted on the diagram. Based on the
value of Vu, following three conditions are possible.
 ΦVc ≥ Vu

 ΦVc < Vu

 ΦVc/2 < Vu

ACI Code Provisions for Shear Design

1. When ΦVc/2 > Vu, no web reinforcement is required. Where Vu is the

critical shear taken at a distance d from the face of the support.

2. When ΦVc/2 < Vu but ΦVc ≥ Vu, theoretically no web reinforcement is

required. However ACI 10.6.2.2 recommends that minimum web
reinforcement in the form of maximum spacing smax shall be minimum of:

 Avfy/(50bw),

 d/2

 24 inches

 Avfy/ {0.75 fc ′ bw}

3. When ΦVc < Vu , web reinforcement is required:

Required Spacing, sd = Φ Av fy d / (Vu - ΦVc)
If sd > smax, use smax
Maximum Spacing smax is minimum of:

 Avfy/(50bw),

 d/2

 24 inches

 Avfy/ {0.75 fc ′ bw}

Note: Minimum Spacing Smin is 3 inches.

Example 1

 Flexural and shear Design of Beam as per ACI:

 Solution:
 Step No. 01: Sizes.
 For 20′ length, hmin = l /16 = 20x12/16 = 15″

 For grade 40, we have = hmin =15″ x (0.4 + 40,000/100,000) = 12″

 This is the minimum requirement of the code for depth of beam.

 However we select 18″ deep beam.

 Generally the minimum beam width is 12″, therefore, width of the

beam is taken as 12″

 The final selection of beam size depends on several factors

specifically the availability of formwork.
