Section 11.3.3 Maximum Shear Resistance by Concrete
Vr is calculated using equation 11-4, where Vr = Vc + Vs, and Vc, Vs are shear resistance from concrete and transverse reinforcement, respectively.
The maximum shear resistance permitted by concrete is calculated using equation 11-5:
Vr,max = 0.25ϕcf'cbwdv |
For sections with multiple values of f'c, the minimum f'c is used for maximum shear calculations.
ϕc for concrete is 0.65 per section 8.4.2
Shear resisted by concrete Vr ≤ Vr,max, otherwise a failure will be reported
