Yes, it does, but the Vr value is never less than the min volumetric ratio tdy gives At that stage, Vr is found from the volumetric ratio (Vr> Ach. (0.65* fctd+ 0.0025*fywd)) With the transverse reinforcement found from the shear force, Vr can increase, then the volumetric ratio also gets bigger."candan":2q8n98oq" said:So we find the Vr value not from the volumetric ratio, but from the volumetric ratio Vr. Well, thank you.
