Total Horizontal Shear Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Total Horizontal Shear = (0.85*28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete*Actual Area of Effective Concrete Flange)/2
V_h = (0.85*f_c*A_c)/2
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Total Horizontal Shear - (Measured in Newton) - Total Horizontal Shear is the shear force between the maximum positive moment at each end of steel beams or between the point of contra flexure in a continuous beam.
28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete - (Measured in Pascal) - 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete is a common measure of the concrete’s ability to withstand an applied load determined by casting concrete in a mould, curing for 28 days & testing in a CTM.
Actual Area of Effective Concrete Flange - (Measured in Square Meter) - Actual Area of Effective Concrete Flange is the equivalent area of the flange section in terms of concrete.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete: 49.5 Megapascal --> 49500000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Actual Area of Effective Concrete Flange: 200000 Square Millimeter --> 0.2 Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_h = (0.85*f_c*A_c)/2 --> (0.85*49500000*0.2)/2

Evaluating ... ...

V_h = 4207500

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

4207500 Newton -->4207.5 Kilonewton (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

4207.5 Kilonewton <-- Total Horizontal Shear
