The
ability
to
quickly
evaluate
results
and
make
data-based
design
decisions
is
a
key
aspect
of
user-focused
structural
software.
One-way
shear
is
a
critical
in
the
design
of
RC
and
PT
beams
and
in
particular,
sizing
of
beams
and
associated
economy
of
a
design.
ADAPT-Builder
2020
delivers
new
and
improved
graphical
analysis
and
design
tools
for
one-way
shear
meant
for
quick
delivery
of
results.
For
reinforced
concrete
and
post-tensioned
models
including
beams
and
one-way
slabs
requiring
one-way
shear
reinforcement,
new
graphical
options
have
been
added
to
Result
Display
Settings.
These
graphical
results
include
Shear
Stress
Check,
Concrete
Shear
Strength
(Vc),
Vu/Vc
ratio,
Asv
(required
shear
reinforcement),
Asv
(provided
shear
reinforcement),
and
shear
stirrup
reinforcement.
Shear
Stress
Check
This
option
shows
a
graphical
code
check
for
each
design
section
along
a
beam
or
one-way
slab
design
strip
for
the
selected
strength
load
combination
or
strength
envelope.
The
available
code
check
status
indicators
of
NA,
OK,
REINFORCE,
and
EXCEED
CODE
are
reported.
Concrete
Shear
Strength
Reports
the
concrete
shear
capacity,
øVc
(or
equivalent
for
other
non-ACI
design
codes)
of
each
design
section.
The
calculated
concrete
shear
capacity
is
calculated
per
code
requirements
for
reinforced
concrete
or
post-tensioned
sections.
