Determine the concrete stut capacity vRd,max cot θ = 2.5?
from Table 3
Based on guidance in ”How to DesignConcrete Structures Using Eurocode 2” by The Concrete Centre.
Determine vEd where:vEd = design shear stress [ vEd = vEd (bwz) = vEd /(0.9bwd )]
Determine θ from: vEdθ = 0.5 sin -1
0.20 fck (1 - f ck /250)
(cot θ = 2.5)
