➢ P(2) In general, a minimum amount of shear reinforcement shall
be provided, even where calculation shows that shear
reinforcement is unnecessary.
➢ This minimum may be omitted in elements such as slabs, (solid,
ribbed, hollow), having adequate provision for the transverse
distribution of loads, where these are not subjected to significant
tensile forces.
➢ Minimum shear reinforcement may also be omitted in members
of minor importance which do not contribute significantly to the
overall strength and stability of the structure.

5.1.1 Introduction
The second picture (close up) illustrates
the horizontal compression cracks at the
top of the beam and the tension cracks at
the bottom of the beam more clearly.

Type I (a/d>6)
The bending moment is large
in comparison to the shear
force and the mode of failure
is similar to that in pure
bending, i.e. rotation about (a) Type I a/d>6
the compression zone.
Type II (6>a/d>2)
The initial bending cracks
become inclined early in the
loading sequence and failure is
associated more with vertical
shear deformation and less with
vertical shear deformation and
less with rotation about the
compression zone. (b) Type II 6>a/d>2

➢ The addition of shear
reinforcement increases
the shear resistance
provided that the shear
reinforcement intercepts
the shear cracks. (e) Type V Shear reinforcement

(e) beam size. The ultimate shear stress reduces with the beam
size, particularly the beam depth; that is, larger beams are
proportionately weaker than smaller beams. This is probably
because in practice the aggregate-interlock capacity does not
increase in the same proportion as the beam size.

The following notation is used in the equations for the shear design
Asw = the cross-sectional area of the two legs of the link
s = the spacing of the links
z = the lever arm between the upper and lower chord members of the
analogous truss
fywd = the design yield strength of the link reinforcement
fyk = the characteristic strength of the link reinforcement
VEd = the shear force due to the actions at the ultimate limit state
VEf = the ultimate shear force at the face of the support
Vwd = the shear force in the link
VRd,s = the shear resistance of the links
VRd,max= the maximum design value of the shear which can be resisted
by the concrete strut

As before: Given:-
The beam is 300 mm wide by 660 deep with three
equal 5.0m spans. (From before, d = 600mm.) In the
transverse direction the beams are at 4.5 m centres with
a 180 mm thick slab (≡ the thickness of the flange of a
‘T’ beam, hf).

The Shear, V at the support (i.e. at the centre line of the column)
= 0.45 (625 + 525) = 517.5kN (Note: Total load per m span =
230kN/m i.e (625+525)/5 which is equal to the Total Load
divided by the span))

There is one final check for flanged beams and that is the
longitudinal shear that exists at the flange / web interface.
In many cases this is not a problem as the transverse steel
in the slab will be sufficient to resist this shear force.
However, it could be a problem where there are
particularly thin flanges.
