Shear strength of rebar
Shear strength of rebar
(OP)
Hello folks,
I generally use a shear strength of 0.6 Fy for rebar, but I can't find the reference in ACI 318-14 for a shear factor. I have seen values from 0.5 to 0.75 Fy used,so my 0.6 seems a safe middle value, but for the life of me can find no reference to where that comes from. Can anyone steer me to a code that says what value(s) to use?
Thanks

Note that the 0.6Fy is not an "allowable" shear but a point of yield. Thus you still need a safety factor on it.
