Say the face of the lower colum n is only 150 mm from the edge of the slab . The shear capacity
of the slab as a function of the slab thickness and critical depth bo is given by:
f'c
Vr hslab , b o := 0.38 c
MPa
MPa hslab bo
= 30.26kN
<=
Vr t L, wL + 100mm = 94.70kN
? Yes, OK.
When the shear transfer through slab is insufficient, special reinforcem ent can be provided as shown in the figure:
