Probable Moment and Shear

Mpr = 1.25 As fy ( d – a/2 )

Vpr = ( Mpr1+ Mpr2) / ln

Ve = Vg + Vpr

where: Mpr = probable moment

Vpr = probable shear

Ve = design shear force envelope*

Vg = shear force due to gravity loads; 1.2DL + 1.0LL + 0.2S, where LL is unreduced live load

a = ( 1.25 As fy ) / ( 0.85 fc b )

ln = length of beam

Cases:

1) Ve = Vg + [ ( Mpr @ left bottom bar + Mpr @ right top bar ) / ln ]

2) Ve = Vg - [ ( Mpr @ left bottom bar + Mpr @ right top bar ) / ln ]
3) Ve = Vg + [ ( Mpr @ left top bar + Mpr @ right bottom bar ) / ln ]
4) Ve = Vg - [ ( Mpr @ left top bar + Mpr @ right bottom bar ) / ln ]

*Ve = maximum of four cases

from McGregor's "Reinforced Concrete Mechanics and Design 6E"

When the frame is displaced laterally through the inelastic deformations required to develop the ductility of the
structure, the reinforcement at the ends of the beam will yield unless the moment strength is several times the moment due to
seismic loads. The yielding of the reinforcement sets an upper limit on the moments that can be developed at the ends of the
beam. The design shear forces, Ve are based on the shears due to factored dead and live loads (Fig. 19-19c) plus the shears due
to hinging at the two ends of the beam for the frame swaying to the right or to the left, as shown in Fig. 19-19a. Mpr is the
probable moment strength of the members, based on the dimensions and reinforcement at the joint and assuming a tensile
strength of 1.25 fy and alpha=1.0. For a rectangular beam without axial loads, ACI Code Section 21.5.4.1 requires that beams be
designed for the sum of

Vsway = (Mpr1 + Mpr2) / ln

Vg = (wu ln) / 2

Ve = Vg + Vsway
