Tvärkraftsdimensionering av armerad betong
En utredning av beräkningsförfarandet
This report is about the shear force design of reinforced concrete according to Europe?s common dimension rules, Eurocode. The purpose is to describe the calculation procedure and the background to the formulas and expressions that occurs. Furthermore results from different calculation methods (hand calculations and computer calculations) will be compared to see how they differ.The goal with this is to go through the parts of Eurocode dealing with shear force and that this will lead to a clear review of these. You should also be able to see how results and the calculation procedure differ between different calculation methods. The reason of that is to see if it, in some cases, can be worth to spend some more time on calculations by hand.By the report you can see that, in many cases, the calculations made by hand leads to a smaller amount of shear reinforcement than the calculations in the computer programs. It may therefore be worth to calculate some designs by hand, especially since there was quite a difference in some cases. This is of course a judgment that has to be made for every single case by its own, since it takes considerably longer time to calculate a construction by hand than in a computer program.
