Abstract:<p>
The design value for the shear resistance in Eurocode 2 (EC-2) would have one important disadvantage if a minimum was not fixed for reinforced concrete members without transverse reinforcement. That was, in cases without compressive axial force, the shear capacity would be 0 when the longitudinal reinforcement ratio was 0, although these cases would not be possible if the minimum amount of reinforcement indicated in the codes is considered. When the Spanish Code (EHE-08) was edited, the basic formula… Show more
