Question

If the nominal shear stress at a section does not exceed the permissible shear stress

Answer 1

nominal shear stress τv of rectangular and T-beams of (i) uniform depth and (ii) varying depth subjected to bending moment and shear force. A.2: Sec. 6.13.3. Q.3: What is meant by “Design shear strength of concrete τc” ? A.3: Sec.

Answer 2

If the nominal shear stress at a section does not exceed the permissible shear stress, minimum shear reinforcement is still provided.

Explanation:

Whenever the nominal shear stress at a section is less than the allowable or permissible shear stress, then minimum shear reinforcement can be still provided in the form of stirrups.
