Hi Experts
I have some confusion about the design of steel elements using EC3. specifically, about the Bending and shear check when the shear force is bigger than half of the shear resistance (Ved >= 0.5VplRd).
Here I attached the Bending and shear check as written in Eurocode 3. Also, I have created an example to see if the steps are correct or I misunderstood the right meaning.

Could you please give me some explanation and correct me if I misunderstood the code..

Many thanks
below i attached the Example and the eurocode3
if the below link is not showing anything. please find it in EC3 item 6.2.8 page-53

How did you calculate shear force Ved ?..Just curious, is the design shear force ( Ved= 250kN ) maximum design shear ?..
