Maximum Shear Strength Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Shear Strength = 10*Overall Thickness of Wall*0.8*Horizontal Length of Wall*sqrt(Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete)
V_n = 10*h*0.8*l_w*sqrt(f'_c)
This formula uses 1 Functions, 4 Variables

Functions Used

sqrt - A square root function is a function that takes a non-negative number as an input and returns the square root of the given input number., sqrt(Number)

Variables Used

Shear Strength - (Measured in Pascal) - Shear Strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear.
Overall Thickness of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - Overall Thickness of Wall is the wall thickness in millimeters.
Horizontal Length of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - Horizontal Length of Wall is the length of a wall in the horizontal direction.
Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete - (Measured in Pascal) - Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete is the maximum compressive load concrete can withstand after the concrete mix is formed.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Overall Thickness of Wall: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)
Horizontal Length of Wall: 3125 Millimeter --> 3.125 Meter (Check conversion here)
Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete: 50 Megapascal --> 50000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_n = 10*h*0.8*l_w*sqrt(f'_c) --> 10*0.2*0.8*3.125*sqrt(50000000)

Evaluating ... ...

V_n = 35355.3390593274

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

35355.3390593274 Pascal -->0.0353553390593274 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.0353553390593274 ≈ 0.035355 Megapascal <-- Shear Strength

What is Shear Strength?

In engineering, shear strength is the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. A shear load is a force that tends to produce a sliding failure on a material along a plane that is parallel to the direction of the force.

What is Characteristics Compressive Strength?

The characteristic strength is defined as the strength of the concrete below which not more than 5% of the test results are expected to fall. For design purposes, this compressive strength value is restricted by dividing with a factor of safety, whose value depends on the design philosophy used.

How to Calculate Maximum Shear Strength?

Maximum Shear Strength calculator uses Shear Strength = 10*Overall Thickness of Wall*0.8*Horizontal Length of Wall*sqrt(Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete) to calculate the Shear Strength, The Maximum Shear Strength formula is defined the strength of a material or component against the type of yield or structural failure when the material or component fails in shear. Shear Strength is denoted by V_n symbol.
