Shell Shear Checking

 

 

 

Produce the two-way shear (punching shear) check results at the supports of shell elements or at concentrated loads.

 

Note
In order to use this function, Eurocode2:05 must be selected in Design > Concrete Design Parameter > Design Code.

 

 

 

 From the Main Menu select Design > Design > Meshed Slab/Wall/Shell Design > Slab Shear Checking.

 

 

 

 

Load Combinations

 

Select a desired load case or load combination.

Click  to the right to enter new or modify existing load combinations. (Refer to "Static Load Cases / Combinations")

 

 

  Shear Design

 

Select to check the shear check results for a shell.

 

Element: Display the automatic design results using the internal forces calculated at each node of  the element.

 

Avg. Nodal: Display the automatic design results using the average internal nodal forces of the contiguous elements sharing common nodes.

 

 

Element: Depending on the selected option above (Element or Avg.Nodal), produce the automatic design results for shear forces at each node of the elements that define the shell.     

 

Width: Depending on the selected option above (Element or Avg.Nodal), produce the automatic design results using the average of the shear forces in the shell elements that contain the selected node.

 

 

Type of Display

 

 Define the type of display as follows:

 

 

Components

 

V_Edo

Display the shear forces per unit width of the plate element.

 

Shear Resistance

Display the shear resistance per unit width of the plate element.

 

Resistance Ratio

Display the ratio of the design shear force to the shear resistance

 

 

Operations

 

: Produce the shear forces of shell elements in a text format.

      

 : Produce the shear forces of shell elements in a tabular format.
