One way shear capacity is calculated at every analysis point in the member. At each point Eriksson Column computes either the required area of steel, or checks the provided area of steel against the calculated amount. Maximum spacing is also computed at every point along the member. For this equation fpe is assumed to be equal to the average prestress on the member (P/A).
Cross Section Limits
The cross section limits are checking against ACI 318-14 22.5.1.2. If the limits fail an error will be displayed in the analysis report.
