Shear force and torsion in reinforced concrete beam elements: theoretical analysis based
on Brazilian Standard Code ABNT NBR 6118:2007
model used in relation to complementary mechanisms of the truss.
As previously demonstrated, calculation model I considers a por-
tion of constant reduction (V
c0
) given by equation (4). The reduc-
tion portion (V
c1
) is variable in calculation model II, depending on
the intensity of the design value of shear force (V
c0
), according to
equation (6). Another factor which influences this calculation is that
in portion (V
c0
), the value of f
ctd
is obtained according to the class
of the concrete, that is, it depends directly on the value of the cha-
racteristic resistance to compression of the concrete, f
ck
. Finally,
the value of (V
Rd2
) in calculation model II depends on the angle θ of
