BS8110 allows shear capacity to be increased for the following two cases:
1. when the section being considered is near the support (increased by factor of 2av/d)
2. when the section is subjected to axial compression (increased by +N/Ac*M/V)

My question is: when the section being considered has both two characteristics, can the shear capacity be increased by both factors? I am designing a underground RC slab with rigid connections to diaphragm walls.
Thanks!
