Shear Reinforcement

Shear Reinforcement

Shear Reinforcement

(OP)
Dear All,
I am currently doing a building in ETABS. For columns how do I get the area for shear reinforcement. When I didn't the concrete frame design in ETABS I got the percentage for the main bars. But when I do for shear reinforcing the value is coming as Asv/s = 0.263 etc. What does this mean? how can I calculate the mm2 required per meter using Asv/s. I just don't undstd.
Guys please help me out here....

RE: Shear Reinforcement

Your problem is that you are trying to use ETABS, a very complex computer program, before you know the basics of structural engineering. I refuse to help with that.

Thank you for your suggestion

RE: Shear Reinforcement

Check it by hand and compare.

The units are obviously AREA/LENGTH, I'm sure you can work out the rest since you are asking for a conversion of the result into an AREA/LENGTH.

RE: Shear Reinforcement

Asv = area shear steel ; s = spacing. you can take it from there. BTW Hokie66 is right.
