Wall Overall Thickness given Nominal Shear Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

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

Variables Used

Overall Thickness of Wall - (Measured in Meter) - Overall Thickness of Wall is the wall thickness in millimeters.
Total Shear - (Measured in Newton) - Total Shear is the total shear force acting on a beam.
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.
Design Horizontal Length - (Measured in Meter) - Design Horizontal Length of wall is 0.8 times the horizontal length of the wall denoted by 'd'.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total Shear: 500 Newton --> 500 Newton No Conversion Required
Capacity Reduction Factor: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required
Nominal Shear Stress: 1176 Newton per Square Meter --> 1176 Pascal (Check conversion here)
Design Horizontal Length: 2500 Millimeter --> 2.5 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

h = V/(φ*v_u*d) --> 500/(0.85*1176*2.5)

Evaluating ... ...

h = 0.200080032012805

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.200080032012805 Meter -->200.080032012805 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

200.080032012805 ≈ 200.08 Millimeter <-- Overall Thickness of Wall
