Prestressed Concrete Lecture 10 - Shear capacity
Shear theory On the cross section for elastic "homogenous" materials : most simply, shear stress = force/area V T= - A Longitudinal shear stress V Transverse shear stress T plot of t CVE80004 Advanced Concrete Design - Geoff Taplin
Shear theory On the cross section for elastic "homogenous" materials: most simply, shear stress = force/area V T= - A more correctly, T= Ib VAy ( VQ - TB) Longitudinal shear stress where Ay is the first moment of the area beyond the point where t is calculated. V Transverse shear stress T plot of t cross section area A But reinforced and prestressed concrete is not an elastic "homogenous" material! CVE80004 Advanced Concrete Design - Geoff Taplin
