0.85 for sand-lightweight concrete.

Shear Strength Provided by Concrete, Vc = 27.3442 kN

V c = 0.17λ(f' c )1/2bd

φV c = 0.17λ(f' c )1/2bd φV c = 20.5082 kN

Ultimate Shear, value from structural analysis program. Vu = 12.2447 kN > 0.5φVc; Min. reinf. required!

If V u > φV c , stirrups required

If φV c > V u > 0.5φV c , minimum stirrups required

If V u < 0.5φV c , no stirrups required

Shear strength to be provided by the stirrups, Vs = -11.018 kN
