8B. ANALYSIS PART 2

CHAPTER 8B 'ANALYSIS' 106 θ In the above option, the value mthpl must be entered by the designer. For the range of values of mθpl , the following is mentioned in the regulation: The calculation of the shear strengths of vertical elements can be obtained from the relations proposed in Annex 7C of CEE.EPE, ignoring the contribution of the vertical reinforcement and assuming: μ pl = 0,5 − 5, 0 (prices at the discretion of the Engineer) Indicatively, for old structures (e.g. pre-1985), with sparse fasteners e.g. less than Φ8/200, S220 could be taken , while for new structures (e.g. post-2000 construction), with dense fasteners e.g. more than Φ8/125, S500 can be considered to have values perhaps exceeding 5.
