Ultimate Shear Capacity of Beam Section Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Ultimate Shear Capacity = (Nominal Shear Strength of Concrete+Nominal Shear Strength by Reinforcement)
V_n = (V_c+V_s)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Ultimate Shear Capacity - (Measured in Pascal) - Ultimate Shear Capacity represents the maximum shear strength possessed by the beam section or the structure.
Nominal Shear Strength of Concrete - (Measured in Pascal) - The Nominal Shear Strength of Concrete is the capacity of the concrete section to resist the effects of load.
Nominal Shear Strength by Reinforcement - (Measured in Pascal) - Nominal Shear Strength by Reinforcement is the strength or capacity of shear reinforcement to withstand shear or diagonal stresses.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Nominal Shear Strength of Concrete: 90 Megapascal --> 90000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Nominal Shear Strength by Reinforcement: 100 Megapascal --> 100000000 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

V_n = (V_c+V_s) --> (90000000+100000000)

Evaluating ... ...

V_n = 190000000

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

190000000 Pascal -->190 Megapascal (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

190 Megapascal <-- Ultimate Shear Capacity

What is Ultimate Shear Strength?

It is the loading at a section resulting from the failure of a member in shear. Ultimate shear capacity of beam is the capacity which resist these failure loads. It is achieved by the combined strength provided by both concrete and reinforcement within in the section.

What is Shear Reinforcement?

Shear reinforcement are the reinforcements provided in the section, say column or beams, in order to withstand the diagonal stresses. It is given in the form of stirrups, also helps to retain the longitudinal reinforcements in place.

How to Calculate Ultimate Shear Capacity of Beam Section?

Ultimate Shear Capacity of Beam Section calculator uses Ultimate Shear Capacity = (Nominal Shear Strength of Concrete+Nominal Shear Strength by Reinforcement) to calculate the Ultimate Shear Capacity, The Ultimate Shear Capacity of Beam Section formula is defined as the sum of the nominal shear strength of the concrete Vc and the nominal shear strength provided by the reinforcement Vs. Ultimate Shear Capacity is denoted by V_n symbol.
