Section 11.3 Shear Resistance of Beams (Non Prestressed)

  • See "Concrete "Core" Determination".
  • For sections with multiple values of f’c, the minimum f’c is used
  • Equations 11-5, 11-13, 11-15 are implemented.
  • Section 11.1.2 is implemented (but optional 11.1.2.1 is not).
  • Sections 11.5.2, 11.5.4.3 and 11.5.6.9 are implemented.
  • Lightweight concrete is not considered.
  • A minimum reinforcement criterion of section 11.5.5 is implemented; if the member is a slab, then this requirement is waived per 11.5.5.1a.
  • Axial Compression (or Tension) is not considered
  • If "beam" torsion design is selected, see "Section 11.6 Beam Torsion" for further requirements.
