Does anyone know how to calculate the shear capacity of an irregular section? I am designing to AS3600 but would like to know other design methods to different codes as well. The irregular one I am currently dealing with is very close to a quarter of a circular column.
Thank you.
Thanks Enhineyero. Do you know what the title of that research is?
AS3600 reduces shear capacity of beams without ligs to 0.5Vu only so if I ignore this 0.5 reduction factor I can increase the capacity to around 20kN. But I am not sure if it is allowed. AS2870 says it is deem-to-comply for...
AS2870 says that for waffle on piers, not shear fitments are required for internal rib when piers are located on the intersection of every third internal rib.
With every third rib, the span is 3.6m. So for 85mm slab, the shear in internal rib can be around 25kN without having extra point or...
