Define project criteria for shear capacity analysis.

Shear Capacity

Select the method for computing shear capacity.

Enter the coefficient for computing the modulus of rupture for determining the cracking moment.

Resistance Factors (LRFD 5.5.4.2)

Conventional Construction (LRFD 5.5.4.2)

Enter the normal and lightweight concrete resistance factors. Note the LRFD 8th Edition (2017) added separate resistance factors for dedonded and fully bonded sections.

Closure Joints (LRFD 5.5.4.2 and 5.12.3.4.2d (<em>pre-2017: 5.14.1.3.2d</em>))

Enter the normal and lightweight concrete resistance factors.

Maximum Spacing of Transverse Reinforcement (LRFD 5.7.2.6 (<em>pre-2017: 5.8.2.7</em>))

Enter parameters for LRFD equations 5.7.2.6-1 and 5.7.2.6-2. These parameters define the maximum stirrup spacing as a fraction of the shear depth, dv, and a maximum value.

Longitudinal Reinforcement for Shear

Select a method for computing longitudinal reinforcement for shear capacity. The longitudinal mild reinforcement in the girder will be included in the analysis if the box is checked.

Horizontal Interface Shear

Select a method for computing horizontal interface shear.

Define the maximum spacing of interface shear connectors for LRFD 5.7.4.5 (pre-2017: 5.8.4.2).
