AS3600 PT Beam Shear
AS3600 PT Beam Shear
(OP)
Probably quite a trivial question here,
However why is there no account of the different yield strengths of Ast and Apt in Eq. 8.2.7.2(1)?
I would have thought the increased yield strength of a tendon would increase the reo ratio parameter.

Also the magnitude of the tying force would be limited by the steel strain and resulting shear crack width.
