ANSWER:
Vmu and Vu are 2 different entities where
Vmu = Factored shear occurring simultaneously with Mu .Basically shear is based on where the max moment is occurring, generally the shear value is less than Vu.
Example - Truck load in the mid span of the beam
Vu =Total factored shear force at section . Shear is based on where the max shear occurs .
Example - Truck Load is placed at the starting or end of the span
