6.3.4.1 Full shear connection r6.2.1.13

a. Single span beams [6.2.1.1(1)]

For full shear connection, the total design longitudinal shear V, to be resisted by
shear connectors between the point of maximum positive bending moment and the end
support should be:

V, = F,, where FCf= A, f bya

or F,f = o*8zfck hc /Yc

whichever is the smaller.

b. Continuous span beams [6.2.1.1(2)]

For full shear connection, the total design longitudinal shear V, to be resisted by
shear connectors between the point of maximum positive bending moment and an
intermediate support shall be calculated according to Figure 6.13 as follows:

V, = F,, + (A, fsk )/ys where A, is the effective area of longitudinal slab
reinforcement.

This calculation is illustrated in Figure 6.13 for a particular case of the positions of
the plastic neutral axes in negative and positive bending.
