Wall Horizontal Length given Nominal Shear Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Design Horizontal Length = Total Shear/(Overall Thickness of Wall*Capacity Reduction Factor*Nominal Shear Stress)
d = V/(h*φ*v_u)
This formula uses 5 Variables

Variables Used

Design Horizontal Length - (Measured in Meter) - Design Horizontal Length of wall is 0.8 times the horizontal length of the wall denoted by 'd'.
Total Shear - (Measured in Newton) - Total Shear is the total shear force acting on a beam.
Overall Thickness of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - Overall Thickness of Wall is the wall thickness in millimeters.
Capacity Reduction Factor - The Capacity Reduction Factor is a safety factor to account for uncertainties in material strength.
Nominal Shear Stress - (Measured in Pascal) - Nominal Shear Stress is calculated using the basic principles of mechanics and material properties of the concrete. It does not take into account any additional reinforcing forces.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Shear: 500 Newton --> 500 Newton No Conversion Required
Overall Thickness of Wall: 200 Millimeter --> 0.2 Meter (Check conversion here)
Capacity Reduction Factor: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required
Nominal Shear Stress: 1176 Newton per Square Meter --> 1176 Pascal (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = V/(h*φ*v_u) --> 500/(0.2*0.85*1176)

Evaluating ... ...

d = 2.50100040016006

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

2.50100040016006 Meter -->2501.00040016006 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

2501.00040016006 ≈ 2501 Millimeter <-- Design Horizontal Length

What is Nominal Shear Stress and Design Shear Strength?

Nominal shear stress is the shear force generated on the structure due to the force imposed on a given cross-sectional area. The force may be either vertical or horizontal.
The strength of the material considered under the shear failure, when a structure will fail is known as the design 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.
