Nominal Shear Strength of Concrete Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Nominal Shear Strength of Concrete?

FIRST Step Consider the formula
Vc=(1.9fc+((2500ρw)(VuDcentroidBM)))(bwDcentroid)
Next Step Substitute values of Variables
Vc=(1.915MPa+((25000.08)(100.1kN51.01mm49.5kN*m)))(50.0001mm51.01mm)
Next Step Convert Units
Vc=(1.91.5E+7Pa+((25000.08)(100.1kN51.01mm49.5kN*m)))(50.0001mm51.01mm)
Next Step Prepare to Evaluate
Vc=(1.91.5E+7+((25000.08)(100.151.0149.5)))(50.000151.01)
Next Step Evaluate
Vc=71387069.3866498Pa
Next Step Convert to Output's Unit
Vc=71.3870693866498MPa
LAST Step Rounding Answer
Vc=71.3871MPa
