This section gives the transverse reinforcing required to resist the longitudinal shear.

SettingDescription
Reinforcement fy Yield strength of the reinforcement.
Total Longitudinal v Total longitudinal shear.
Longitudinal v Longitudinal shear to be resisted on the side of the beam indicated.
pyp Design yield strength of the profiled steel sheeting.
tp Thickness of the profiled steel sheeting.
Sheeting Continuous Indicator for the condition of the profiled steel sheeting continuous (Yes) or discontinuous (No) over the top flange of the beam.
vp Contribution of the profiled steel sheeting to resist the longitudinal shear.
Req'd Asv The required area of transverse reinforcement per unit length of beam.
