Anybody in the forum has an idea why this member is failing even if the stress ratio is too small? See attached screenshot. Thanks. http://files.engineering.com/getfile.aspx?folder=1aeb009e-817f-4a2f-b183-9b241f22d757&file=Capture.JPG

Hi THEshearstud, yes you're right. It's V13 and V23. My question now is if it's the stress per unit length of in plane length, should I equate the value I'm getting with 2*sqrt(fc')*d? I will check that literature. Thanks.

I'm doing a pile cap design using sap2000. Can someone help me interpret the result please? I'm getting V12=V23 = 13.6 kips/inch and Vmax = 22.08 kips/inch. Is this the shear force per inch of the pile cap thickness? or per inch of the width? I want to check for punching. My pile cap is 12ft x...

Hi JoshPlum, yes of course it's easy to do it manually but I'm just curious how to interpret these results that I'm getting otherwise these are useless. At this moment I really don't have a clue what these numbers mean. Thanks...

So to which value I should compare the V12 or V13 then? I just want to know how to check the beam shear and punching shear in my pile cap.

hi UcfSE, I think my question is not clear..sorry for that. my problem is interpreting the result. if I have that V12 & V13 forces in kips/in, should I compare that to 2*sqrt(fc')*pile cap depth?

Yes steellion, a christmas party scenario is what I'm referring to. Thanks gents!

We are having a debate whether to consider full live load + full snow load when designing a member carrying both the roof and the floor, that is 1.2D +1.6L + 1.6S. For example a beam on the second floor level supporting 2nd floor live load as well as the wall supporting the roof trusses. Any...
