This document provides equations and definitions for calculating the shear resistance of concrete cross-sections (VRd,c) according to BS EN 1992-1-1:2004. It defines key terms used in the equations such as bw, the smallest width of the cross-section; O'cp, the axial force due to loading or prestressing; and Ac, the area of the concrete cross-section. It provides Equation (6.2a) for calculating VRd,c in regions cracked in bending and Equation (6.4) for calculating VRd,c in uncracked regions. The document also notes that for non-uniform cross-sections, VRd,c should be calculated along multiple axes to find the minimum

bw is the smallest width of the cross-section in the tensile area [mm]
O"cp = NEd/Ac < 0,2 fed [MPa] NEd is the axial force in the cross-section due to loading or prestressing [in N] (NEd>O IEJ)for compression). The influence of imposed deformations on NEd may be ignored.@1) Ac is the area of concrete cross section [mm 2] VRd,c is [N] Note: The values of CRd,c, Vmin and k1 for use in a Country may be found in its National Annex. The recommended value for CRd,c is 0,18Iyc, that for Vmin is given by Expression (6.3N) and that for k1 is 0,15.

(2) In prestressed single span members without shear reinforcement, the shear resistance of the regions cracked in bending may be calculated using Expression (6.2a). In regions uncracked in bending (where the flexural tensile stress is smaller than fctk ,o,05/YC) the shear resistance should be limited by the tensile strength of the concrete. In these regions the shear resistance is given by:
VRd,c = I .b -s- w ~ ( fctd )2 + a'O"Cpfctd (6.4)
where I is the second moment of area is the width of the cross-section at the centroidal axis, allowing for the presence of ducts in accordance with Expressions (6.16) and (6.17) s is the first moment of area above and about the centroidal axis a, Ixllpt2 ~ 1,0 for pretensioned tendons = 1,0 for other types of prestressing Ix is the distance of section considered from the starting pOint of the transmission length Ipt2 is the upper bound value of the transmission length of the prestressing element according to Expression (8.18). O-cp is the concrete compressive stress at the centroidal axis due to axial loading and/or prestressing (O"cP = NEd /Ac in MPa, NEd> 0 in compression)
For cross-sections where the width varies over the height, the maximum principal stress may occur on an axis other than the centroidal axis. In such a case the minimum value of the shear resistance should be found by calculating VRd,c at various axes in the cross-section.
