One way shear capacity is calculated at every analysis point in the member. At each point Eriksson Beam computes either the required area of steel, or checks the provided area of steel against the calculated amount. When comparing a provided amount against required, this is assuming all steel being provided is to be used for shear and is taking torsion into account. The combined effects are taken into account in the combined shear and torsion section.
For all sections, including double T’s and risers, the reported required area of steel is for the entire member and not per stem or bearing point.
