AASHTO LRFD (9th ed) Art. 5.7.2 includes the following text:
"The component of inclined flexural compression or tension, in the direction of the applied shear, in variable depth members shall be considered when determining the factored shear force where its effect is detrimental (increase in shear load) but may be considered if its effect is beneficial (decrease in shear load). "
I'm pretty sure I know how to implement this, but I would like to be 100% sure, as it's having quite a large effect on the shear force in my structure. Can anyone point me towards an example showing how the inclined component of flexure is considered in shear?
