Shear

Last updated: January 20, 2021

Section 11.5.5.3 Equation for shear reinforcement area minimum limit has changed. It now includes the concrete capacity, which it did not in ACI 318-99 code.

A_{v} = 0.75 \sqrt{{f^{'}}_{c}} \frac{b_{w} s}{f_{y}}

Equation ACI 11-13

A_{v} \geq 50 \frac{b_{w} s}{f_{y}}
