ACI-318 Shear link spacing
ACI-318 Shear link spacing
(OP)
I am designing a member where the shear stress ?Vc ? Vu ? 0.5?Vc, thus requiring me to provide shear links.
Equ 11-13 (Av,min = 0.75*fc^.5*(bw*s)/fyt) includes the term, s (link spacing). My question is...am I expected to use (or calculate) a particular value for s (s = d/2 for instance)? Or can I choose any reasonable value for s knowing that Av,min is directly proportional to the value of s?
Thanks

This is the area of shear reinforcing required in a distance "s".
