https://communities.bentley.com/products/ram-staad/f/ram-staad-forum/109229/shear-in-ramDear RAM Concept crew, I would like to know how the shear design is done (not punching shear). I am using Eurocode 2. My question is: where is it checking the shear capacity? According to the EC it should be done at “d” distance from the edge of theen-USTelligent Community 12https://communities.bentley.com/thread/332349?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:31:30 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:cfa8f7c8-583f-4309-8840-5400c1ed8f3drtully14Hi Adrian, can you attach your RAM Concept model and I will look at the results. Are you checking a beam or a slab?<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/332345?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:18:10 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:caa569fc-57ad-4892-95a7-73387a417fcfAdrian CabelloHi rtully. It doesn’t fully answer my questions. Do you know how can I audit in detail: at which distance from the column is it taking VEd and the angle considered for the strut?<br /> Is it taking the maximum shear at distance “d” or is it doing an average across a section at distance “d”? In this case, the section width is the Column strip from my “Design Strips”?<br /> The results I get at this moment are far from the expected. Thanks!<div style="clear:both;"></div>https://communities.bentley.com/thread/332344?ContentTypeID=1Tue, 28 Jul 2015 13:02:31 GMT6dad98f5-dbc9-4c4d-a9ba-e9da8dc6aa8e:5d9efd63-0f5e-4ee5-b4f3-a12a53d102d9rtully14The RAM Concept manual notes &#39;Links are provided in accordance with 6.2.3 and 9.2.2. The angle is calculated as the minimum value <br /> that can satisfy the requirement that VEd ≤ VRd,max , within the range specified in 6.2.3(2). The shear is calculated and designed for at every design strip cross section.<div style="clear:both;"></div>
