Vservice = 225 KN S = 1000 mm
Vu = 329 KN c = 500 mm
Nuc = 66 KN Nuc min. = 0.2 Vu, Clause 11.8.3.4
�_𝒖 = �_𝒖 𝒂_(𝒇 ) + 𝑵_𝒖𝒄 ("h−d"95.9) = KN.m Clause 11.8.3

2- Calculation of Shear horizontal tie reinforcement Ah

�_� = 0.5 (�_𝑺𝒄 〖 − �〗 _𝒏 ) mm2
= 640 Clause 11.8.4

Use 2 Row T 16 Stirrups with 2 Legs OR combine with Asc as per PCA Notes, figure 15-10
Distribute Ah uniformly within (2/3)d adjacent to primary tension reinforcement "Asc", Clause 11.8.4 & Fig. R11.8.2
for small ledge height h, Asc+Ah could be added together and placed as top reinforcement as per PCA Notes, figure 15-10
