I am getting higher shear at support location for my slab. (150kN/m+)
If I set my design strip narrow enough, say 0.5m only then it will require slab shear reinforcement. Do we still use the same design strip width (6m) for shear check? Can we reply the slab to average the shear like how we did...

Info: 3 basements. capping beams + piers and shotcrete walls in between.
1. I want to have shotcrete walls in my model to consider their contribution of stiffness for lateral loads. But at the...
I am using FEM to verify my hand calc of the slab as shown below. a 800 deep beam has been adapted to span from one wall to another.
With hand calc for slab, I will simply treat the beam & walls as the same - supports.
With FEM, I am getting a lot higher moment at wall ends and extensive...
