How to Evaluate Shear carried by Concrete?

Shear carried by Concrete evaluator uses Shear carried by Concrete = 3.3*sqrt(Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete)*Overall Thickness of Wall*Design Horizontal Length-((Design Axial Load*Design Horizontal Length)/(4*Horizontal Length of Wall)) to evaluate the Shear carried by Concrete, The Shear carried by Concrete formula is defined as the amount of shear concrete carried depending on whether the design axial load is normal to the wall's horizontal cross-section or perpendicular to the wall's horizontal cross-section. Shear carried by Concrete is denoted by Vc symbol.

To use this online evaluator for Shear carried by Concrete, enter Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete (f'c), Overall Thickness of Wall (h), Design Horizontal Length (d), Design Axial Load (Nu) & Horizontal Length of Wall (lw) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Shear carried by Concrete

What is the formula to find Shear carried by Concrete?
The formula of Shear carried by Concrete is expressed as Shear carried by Concrete = 3.3*sqrt(Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete)*Overall Thickness of Wall*Design Horizontal Length-((Design Axial Load*Design Horizontal Length)/(4*Horizontal Length of Wall)). Here is an example- 5.667262 = 3.3*sqrt(50000000)*0.2*2.5-((30*2.5)/(4*3.125)).
How to calculate Shear carried by Concrete?
With Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete (f'c), Overall Thickness of Wall (h), Design Horizontal Length (d), Design Axial Load (Nu) & Horizontal Length of Wall (lw) we can find Shear carried by Concrete using the formula - Shear carried by Concrete = 3.3*sqrt(Specified 28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete)*Overall Thickness of Wall*Design Horizontal Length-((Design Axial Load*Design Horizontal Length)/(4*Horizontal Length of Wall)). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).
Can the Shear carried by Concrete be negative?
Yes, the Shear carried by Concrete, measured in Force can be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Shear carried by Concrete?
Shear carried by Concrete is usually measured using the Newton[N] for Force. Exanewton[N], Meganewton[N], Kilonewton[N] are the few other units in which Shear carried by Concrete can be measured.
