Notation

bw = web width or diameter of circular section
d = distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of longitudinal tension reinforcement
fck = specified compressive strength of concrete
fcd = design compressive strength of concrete
fyk = specified yield strength for nonprestressed reinforcement
fyd = design yield strength for nonprestressed reinforcement
fywk = specified yield strength of transverse reinforcement
fywd = design yield strength of transverse reinforcement
h = overall thickness, height, or depth of member
Nd = factored axial force normal to cross section occurring simultaneously with Vd
s = center-to-center spacing transverse reinforcement, in
Vc = nominal shear strength provided by concrete
Vr = shear strength
Vw = design shear strength provided by shear reinforcement, lb
γ = strength reduction factor

...

Nominal one-way shear strength at a section, Vr, is calculated by:

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize %7BV_r = V_c+V_w%7D $$

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 the maximum limit given in TS 500 8.5.1.2;

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize %7BV_d = 0.22f_%7Bcd%7Db_wd%7D $$

For calculation of Vc, Vw , d is taken as the distance from extreme compression fiber to centroid of longitudinal tension reinforcement.

...

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize f_%7Bywd%7D=f_%7Bywk%7D/γ_%7Bms%7D $$

...

Vc for Nonprestressed Members

For nonprestressed concrete reinforcement members, Vc is calculated using TS 500 8.1.4.

The value of Vc ;

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize %7BV_c = 0.8V_%7Bcr%7D%7D $$

The value of Vcr ;

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize %7BV_%7Bcr%7D = 0.65f_%7Bctd%7Db_wd( 1+ γ \frac %7BN_d%7D %7BA_c%7D) %7D $$

γ= 0.07 for pressure and γ= -0.03 for tension.

...

One-way shear reinforcement

For members reinforced with transverse reinforcement, Vw is calculated using TS500 Equation 8.5

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize %7BV_w = \frac %7BA_%7Bsw%7D%7D s f_%7Bywd%7Dd %7D $$

Asw is the effective area of all bar legs or wires within spacing s, for each rectangular tie, stirrup, hoop, or crosstie.

...

Mathinline
body--uriencoded--$$ \normalsize %7BV_d < 0.22f_%7Bcd%7Db_wd %7D $$

The value of fywd is yield strength of transverse reinforcement,

Shear strength provided by bent-up longitudinal reinforcement is neglected.
