Ac-sh = area of concrete used to determine shear stress, in2
Ag = gross area of concrete section, in2
bw = web width or diameter of circular section, in.
d = distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of longitudinal tension reinforcement, in.
fc ' = specified compressive strength of concrete, psi
(fc')0.5 = square root of specified compressive strength of concrete, psi
fyt = specified yield strength of transverse reinforcement, psi
h = overall thickness, height, or depth of member, in.
Nu = factored axial force normal to cross-section occurring simultaneously with Vu or Tu; to be taken as positive for compression and negative for tension, lb
s = center-to-center spacing transverse reinforcement, in
Vc = nominal shear strength provided by concrete, lb
Vn = nominal shear strength, lb
Vs = nominal shear strength provided by shear reinforcement, lb
Vu = factored shear force at section, lb
ϕ = strength reduction factor
λ = modification factor to reflect the reduced mechanical properties of lightweight concrete relative to normalweight normal-weight concrete of the same compressive strength
λs = factor used to modify shear strength based on the effects of member depth, commonly reffered referred to as the size effect factor

The shear strength is based on an average shear stress over the effective cross-section, bwd. Therefore dimensions of the cross-section should be satisfy ACI Eq. (22.5.1.2).

For calculation of Vc, Vs, or ACI Eq. (22.5.1.2), d is taken as the distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of longitudinal tension reinforcement. In ACI Eq. (22.5.1.2) the product of bwd is equal to the shear area Ac-sh for rectangular sections. However, in solid, circular sections, the the shear area Ac-sh should be found as shown in the picture below. According to ACI 22.5.2.2, d is allowed to be taken as 0.8 times the diameter, bw (d = 0.8bw).

The maximum value of the (fc')0.5 [or 
] used to calculate Vc, Vs or ACI Eq. (22.5.1.2) is 100 psi. For calculation of Vc, Vs, or ACI Eq. (22.5.1.2), it is assumed that the unit of (fc')0.5 [or ] is psi. If these values are to be calculated in SI-metric or mks-metric units, the (fc')0.5 [or ] value is changed accordingly. Strength The strength reduction factor ϕ for shear , is determined as described in the Strength Reduction Factors per ACI 318-19 with ideCAD title.
