MINIMUM SHEAR FORCE CHECK

Input design actions are not automatically increased if they are less than the specified
minimum actions. Minimum actions may be set in any load case. This check warns if the
shear force is less than the specified minimum (40 kN) for all load cases.
* Shear force exceeds specified minimum in at least one load case.
MINIMUM TIE FORCE CHECK
The structural integrity check to BS 5950 requires that a tying force of at least 75 kN be
considered as a separate load case for connections of floor beams to columns. As Limcon checks
all specified actions concurrently, you should ensure that the shear force is zero for the
tying force load case.
WARNING: Design axial tension is less than BS 5950 minimum tying force.
