Verification of rectangular RC cross-section under M, V
Verification of rectangular RC cross-section under M, V
The cross-section is rectangular, reinforced on one side and loaded by the bending moment MSd.
The permissible moment for a given area of reinforcements As reads:
![]()
![]()
The program further checks whether the location of neutral axis x is less than the limit location of neutral axis xlim given by:
![]()
where:
![]()
![]()
The computed degree of reinforcement is checked using the following expressions:
![]()
where:

Shear
First, the program computes the ultimate shear strength of concrete VRd1.
![]()
where:
![]()
![]()
If the ultimate shear strength of concrete is exceeded, the ultimate shear strength VRd2 is checked.
![]()
where:
![]()
Next, the necessary reinforcement area is given by:
