3.1 Check V as per Art 5.2(B)2 - Shear, of Ref [3]
V

Max perm SF in Conc
=
225 psi
=
0.075*fc'
Actual stress in Conc section (excl Flange)
=
242 psi
a Vc = shear strength provided by concrete = 2*(fc')^0.50*(bw*d)
b Vc shall not exceed 3.5*(fc')
c Quantity (Vu*d)/Mu shall not be greater than 1

3.2 Check V as per Ref [2]

a Vc = shear strength provided by concrete = 2*(fc')^0.50*(bw*d)
=
=
vc
Shear stress in concrete
126 psi
b Vc shall not exceed 3.5*(fc')
c Quantity (Vu*d)/Mu shall not be greater than 1
Mu is the factored BM occuring simultaneously with Vu at
the section being considered. These are simply supported
girders, where Mu is theoretically zero at support. Hence
this provision does not really apply.

Corollary for requirement 'c'

8.1 Design Critera for Flexural Reinforcement in Diaphram
The diaphram may support up to 3ft of slab and surfacing dead load and the
self weight. The Max LL BM occurs when one wheel 19k (unfactored), is
placed right at the center of span. Design BM is based on this premise.
