Eurocode Design Section Shear Calculation (What's New in 2022)

Design section shear calculation now provides addition enhancements.

  • Section is now determined as a cracked or uncracked condition for shear calculations.

  • Lever arm is always calculated rather than defaulting to 0.9 x effective depth.

  • Concrete sections can be treated as a circular for shear design using the Eurocode 2 truss model in accordance with Orr 2010. 1
