    • c1 = 45
    • rt1 = 143
    • rb1 = 130
    • zrt1 = c1 + rt1 = 188 mm
    • zrb1 = (H - c1 - h1) + rb1 = 170 mm

For the handcalculation a function of the width bw(y) is shown in the figure above, both without the reinforcement (blue) and with the reinforcement (black, Idealized cross section). Two vectors with the width at each y-coordinate is used in the calculation. One for the concrete cross section bw0 and one for the idealized cross section b.

Critical point on line of failure

Handcalculation

image-20221215115739-6.png

The vector consits of the y-coordinate for each x-coordinate. Plotting the vector gives the line of failure.

PRE-Stress

PRE-Stress gives the angle 35 degrees from the support and looks at some points along the line where the critical value might be.

It is important to select the Advanced (EN1168 4.3.3.2.2.2)-option to get a comparable design.

This will give a matrix with the stress in each x- and y-point of the beam.

image-20221216101231-12.png

From this matrix the values along the critical line is extracted into a vector, with a value for each x-value.

Shear force capacity

image-20221215172359-9.png

Handcalculation

Using the input from previous calculations above we now put them into the final formula:

image-20221216125514-21.png

The result is a matrix with all possible Shear force capacities in the beam, but only the results along the critical line are relevant to look at.

By extracting those values we get a vector along the beam with the capacity for each x-coordinate:

image-20221216131504-22.png

Some values are not relevant, as they are not part of the design criterion according to EN 1168. Only values between the support and along the critical line are allowed.

So the final step is to find the lowest value of the shear capacity within the viable range.

x = 235 mm from the end (or 135 mm from the support)
