Rectangular section in shear
Design shear force ;
M = 100 kNm
d = h - c nom_b - v - bot / 2 = 445 mm
b = 1.000
K = M / (b d 2 fcu ) = 0.034
K' = 0.156
K' > K - No compression reinforcement is required
z = min(d (0.5 + (0.25 - K / 0.9)0.5 ), 0.95 d) = 422 mm
x = (d - z) / 0.45 = 49 mm

Design shear stress; v = V / (b d) = 0.750 N/mm 2

Design concrete shear stress; v c = 0.79 min(3,[100 A s,prov / (b d)]1/3 ) max(1, (400 /d)1/4 )
(min(f cu , 40) / 25) 1/3 / m
v c = 0.667 N/mm 2
Allowable design shear stress; v max = min(0.8 N/mm 2 (fcu /1 N/mm 2 )0.5 , 5 N/mm 2 ) = 5.000 N/mm 2
PASS - Design shear stress is less than maximum allowable
Value of v from Table 3.7; 0.5 v c < v < (v c + 0.4 N/mm 2 )
Design shear resistance required; v s = max(v - v c, 0.4 N/mm 2 ) = 0.400 N/mm 2
Area of shear reinforcement required; A sv,req = v s b / (0.87 fyv ) = 276 mm 2 /m
Shear reinforcement provided; 2 8 legs at 300 c/c
Area of shear reinforcement provided; A sv,prov = 335 mm 2 /m
PASS - Area of shear reinforcement provided exceeds minimum required
Maximum longitudinal spacing; s vl,max = 0.75 d = 333 mm
PASS - Longitudinal spacing of shear reinforcement provided is less than maximum
Spacing of reinforcement (cl 3.12.11)
Actual distance between bars in tension; s = (b - 2 (c nom_s + v + bot/2)) /(N bot - 1) - bot = 164 mm

Minimum distance between bars in tension (cl 3.12.11.1)

Minimum distance between bars in tension; s min = h agg + 5 mm = 25 mm
PASS - Satisfies the minimum spacing criteria
Maximum distance between bars in tension (cl 3.12.11.2)
Design service stress; fs = (2 fy A s,req ) / (3 A s,prov b ) = 184.8 N/mm 2
Maximum distance between bars in tension; s max = min(47000 N/mm / fs , 300 mm) = 254 mm
PASS - Satisfies the maximum spacing criteria
