Coefficients

Kapa s

Coefficient of reinforcement. It is not calculated according to Annex 9, the user defines the value.

CSN 73 12 01, art. 5.5.6.13

Default value = 1.0.

Kapa a

Coefficient of axial force. It is not calculated according to Annex 9, the user defines the value.

CSN 73 12 01, art. 5.5.6.13

Default value = 1.0.

multiple qbu for calculation

qu (5.5.6.12 (198))

The coefficient of qbu in Eg. (199) may be set by the user.

CSN 73 12 01, Art. 5.5.6.12, formula (198)

Default value = 1.0

Max value of qu

One of the conditions of reliability – the calculation shear force corresponding to the punching shear capacity must be lower than the calculation shear force corresponding to the punching shear capacity taken by concrete.

CSN 73 12 01,art. 5.5.6.12, formula 199

Default value = 2.0

Shear reinforcement

Max value of Rsf

The limit for maximal calculation strength of steel in tension (punching shear reinforcement).

CSN 73 12 01, art. 5.5.6.14.

Default value 300 MPa

Min thickness of plate

Minimal thickness of the plate for inclusion of shear reinforcement.

CSN 73 12 01, art. 5.5.6.16

Default value 200mm.

Min position of reinforcement row

Detailing provision defining the position of shear reinforcement. It is the foot of the hook, if bent-up bars are used.

CSN 73 12 01, art. 5.5.6.14, fig. 33

Max position of the first row reinforcement

See above, this item relates to the first row of shear reinforcement from the face of the column.

Max position of other rows reinforcement

See above, this item relates to subsequent rows of shear reinforcement and their inclusion in the calculation of resistance.
