RISA | Interaction of Shear Forces Acting Along Orthogonal Axes in…

Written by RISA | Oct 29, 2020

Recent tests and analytical results for concrete columns have indicated that considering shear along each centroidal axis independently can be unconservative. Therefore current versions of RISA-3D, RISAFloor and RISAFoundation have included the consideration for the interaction of shear forces acting along orthogonal axes per ACI 318-19 equation 22.5.1.11.

When Vu/ΦVn > 0.5 in both orthogonal directions, a new expandable section of the Detail Report will appear for the interaction equation.
