where
For design in accordance with UK NA, EC2 Recommendations, Irish NA, Malaysian NA and
Singapore NA;
αcw = 1.0 (assuming no axial load in the beam)
αccw = 1.0
γC = 1.5
ν1 = 0.6*(1 – (fck/250)) fck in N/mm2
θmax = tan11
θmin = tan1(0.4)
The design shear capacity of the minimum area of shear links actually provided, Vnom is given
by2;
Vnom = (Asw,min,prov /sl ) * 0.9 * d * fywd * cotθ
where
Asw,min, prov is the area of shear reinforcement provided to meet the minimum requirements.
fywd = fywk/γS
For design in accordance with UK NA, EC2 Recommendations, Irish NA, Malaysian NA and
Singapore NA the limiting values of θ are given by;
1 ≤ cotθ ≤ 2.5

Design Shear Resistance (Beams: EC2) Page 2 of 2
and: γS = 1.15
The maximum possible value for the shear resistance provided by this area of shear
reinforcement will be when the angle of the compression strut is the minimum value i.e. cotθ =
2.5 and therefore Vnom can be simplified to;
Vnom = (Asw,min,prov/sl) * 2.25 * d * fywd
In any region, i;
IF
VEd,i > Vnom
where
VEd,i = the maximum shear in region i
THEN shear links are required in the region.
For designed shear links in shear region Si, first calculate the angle of the compression strut
