ACI 318-14 strength design provisions for steel failure in shear require calculation of a nominal steel strength ( V sa
). The nominal strength is multiplied by a strength reduction factor ( ϕ-factor ) to obtain a design strength ( ϕV sa
).
Design strength is checked against a factored shear load , defined by the parameter “ V ua
”. Chapter 2 in ACI 318-14 gives the following definitions for the factored shear load parameter “ V ua
”.
• V ua
= factored shear force applied to single anchor or group of anchors ( lb )
• V ua , i
= factored shear force applied to most highly stressed anchor in a group of anchors ( lb )
• V ua , g
= total factored shear force applied to anchor group ( lb ) The design steel strength for a single anchor in shear ( ϕV sa
) calculated per Section 17.5.1 is checked against the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which is designated “ V ua
” in Table 17.3.1.1 . If ϕV sa ≥ V ua
, the provisions for considering steel failure in shear have been satisfied per Table 17.3.1.1 .
If an application consists of a group of anchors in shear , V sa is calculated for a single anchor , and the design strength ( ϕV sa
) is checked against the highest individually loaded anchor in shear , which is designated “ V ua , i
” in Table 17.3.1.1 . If ϕV sa
≥ V ua , i
, the provisions for considering steel failure in shear have been satisfied per Table 17.3.1.1 .
The PROFIS Engineering report section for steel failure in shear uses the generic designation “ V ua
” to reference either the only shear load acting on an anchor in shear , or the highest shear load acting on an individual anchor within an anchor group in shear . The PROFIS Engineering Load Engine permits users to input service loads that will then be factored per IBC factored load equations . Users can also import factored load combinations via a spreadsheet , or input factored load combinations directly on the main screen . PROFIS Engineering users are responsible for inputting shear loads . The software only performs shear load checks per Table 17.3.1.1 if shear loads have been input via one of the load input functionalities .
If a single anchor in shear is being modeled , PROFIS Engineering calculates the parameter ϕV sa
, and checks this value against either ( a ) the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which has been calculated using the loads input via the Load Engine , ( b ) the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which has been calculated using the loads imported from a spreadsheet or ( c ) the factored shear load acting on the anchor , which has been calculated using the loads input in the matrix on the main screen . The value for V ua shown in the report corresponds to the factored shear load determined to be acting on the anchor .
If a group of anchors in shear is being modeled , PROFIS Engineering calculates the parameter ϕV sa
, and checks this value against either ( a ) the total factored shear load acting on the anchor group , which has been calculated using the loads input via the Load Engine , ( b ) the total factored shear load acting on the anchor group , which has been calculated using the loads imported from a spreadsheet or ( c ) the total factored shear load acting on the anchor group , which has been calculated using the loads input in the matrix on the main screen . The value for V ua shown in the report corresponds to the total factored shear load determined to be acting on the anchor group .
