See Concrete “Core” Determination for calculation of b_v.

v_c is calculated per Note 2 of Table 3.8, including the f_cu modifier term.

Longitudinal reinforcement designed by Minimum, Service and Strength designers is considered in the determination of A_s used in the calculation of v_c.

100A_s / b_vd is taken as 0.15 minimum, to follow the "=0.15" in table 3.8.

For cross sections with multiple concrete mixes, the minimum f_cu is used.

The effective depth is determined by a cracked section analysis using the bending moment and axial force in place at time of the shear being investigated. If all of the reinforcement in the cross section is in compression, then the effective depth is calculated as the distance from the compression-most face to the furthest active reinforcement (in this case 100A_s / b_vd is taken as 0.15).

v_c’ is calculated as the minimum of Equation 6a and Equation 6b, but never less than zero.

f_yv is limited to 460 N/mm² (Amendment 1 and 2) or 500 N/mm² (Amendment 3).

Links are provided per Table 3.7

Links are only provided in the regions required by calculation, not the whole length of the beam.

Maximum allowed shear stress is the smaller of 5 N/mm² and $0.8\sqrt{f_{cu}}$.

Spacing of links along the span is 0.75 d. The spacing across the span is not considered.

Bent up bars and regions close to supports are not considered.

Bottom loaded beams are not considered.

The anchorage of longitudinal bars is not checked.

Net axial forces are considered if the Consider Net Axial… checkbox is checked.
