Visualize the shear envelope VuV_u versus the capacity ϕVn\phi V_n for a uniformly loaded beam.

Max Shear VuV_u (kN)
300
Beam Length (m)
6
Width bwb_w (mm)
300
Eff. Depth dd (mm)

Spacing ss (mm)
150
Design is Inadequate
Capacity ϕVn\phi V_n is less than VuV_u.

Stirrups not required (Vu<ϕVc/2V_u < \phi V_c/2)
Minimum stirrups (Vu>ϕVc/2V_u > \phi V_c/2)
