Total Horizontal Shear Formula Elements

Variables
Total Horizontal Shear
Total Horizontal Shear is the shear force between the maximum positive moment at each end of steel beams or between the point of contra flexure in a continuous beam.
Symbol: Vh
Measurement: ForceUnit: kN
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete
28-Day Compressive Strength of Concrete is a common measure of the concrete’s ability to withstand an applied load determined by casting concrete in a mould, curing for 28 days & testing in a CTM.
