Shear capacity


The Shear capacity design result shows the calculated shear capacity components for the shear reinforcement of reinforced concrete shells.

Shear capacity is available for:

  • RC shell shear reinforcement


Result selection

To display Shear capacity results, first select the basis for the result:

  • Load combinations – then select the specific load combination
  • Load groups – then select the group type and the force or moment component to maximize – the governing combination for that component is generated automatically

In addition, select the capacity component:

  • vRd,Max
  • vRd,c
  • vRd,s

Result display

Shear capacity uses 4 display types: Graph, Contour lines, Colour palette and Sections.

Graph
