UNDRAINED SHEAR STRENGTH OF UNSATURATED SOILS
compressive strength, cu, for field specimens obtained from various depths. While this assumption is somewhat realistic for saturated soils, its usage is questionable for interpreting the undrained shear strength of unsaturated soils. The independent contribution of matric suction towards the undrained shear strength is generally

Chapter 2 Design for Shear - Engineering
by.genie.uottawa.cacompression struts if the required amount of Vs exceeds 8Vc = 8bwd√fc’ regardless of shear reinforcement. Thus, a beam section must be made larger if Vn > 10bwd√fc’. A graph given in design aid SHEAR 1 displays limits of nominal shear stress values of Vn/(bwd) for concrete strength fc’ from 3000 psi to 10,000 psi. The graph is not ...

by.genie.uottawa.caThe compressive strut capacity of concrete is reached if Vn/(bwd) = 10.0√fc’. Additional stirrups cannot increase section shear strength, as the concrete strength is considered exhausted when Vn/(bwd) > 10√fc’. Design aid SHEAR 2 consists of 3 tables that may be used to determine shear capacity for rectangular
