At the end of this lesson, students should be

able to:
 Identify section with and without shear
reinforcement.
 Design for shear according to code of
practice.
 Illustrate shear link detailing.
 Section with and without shear reinforcement
 Design procedure according to code used
 Shear links and detailing
 Shear failure is another factor that has to be
considered in the design process.
 The shear stress that comes with the changes
in bending moment produces “corner/edge
tension”
 The tensile stress causes cracks near the
support of a beam.

There are 3 methods to resist shear:
i. Provide vertical shear reinforcement (the most commonly used)
ii. Provide bent-up bars (inclined bars)
iii. Combination of both vertical shear reinforcement and bent-up bars

Note: The shear reinforcement is also known as stirrups or links.

For vertical links,  = 90


A simply supported beam of 8m span is to
carry a uniform utimate load of 100kN/m. The
beam dimension is 225 x 500mm (b x d) and a
longitudinal reinforcement provided are 3H25
and 2H16 for tension & compression
respectively. Design the shear reinforcement
using vertical links. Assume fck = 30N/mm2
and fyk = 500N/mm2

Shear Between The Web And
Flanged Of A Flanged Section
(1) The shear strength of the flange may be calculated by considering the flange
as a system of compressive struts combined with ties in the form of tensile
reinforcement.
(2) A minimum amount of longitudinal reinforcement should be provided, as
specified in 9.3.1.
(3) The longitudinal shear stress, vEd, at the junction between one side of a
flange and the web is determined by the change of the normal (longitudinal)
force in the part of the flange considered, according to:

where and M is the change in moment over the distance x

* The procedure to design for shear of flanged section is simplified in Design

* Refer solution in textbook page56
 Where shear force are small, the concrete
section on its own may have sufficient shear
capacity (VRd,c)
Ved ≤ VRd,c  NO SHEAR REINFORCEMENT NEEDED

 Structure/sections that do not required shear


reinforcement:
◦ Lightly loaded floor slab
◦ Pad footing
