Note that (0.224fck) and 1.4 are equal when fck equals
39 MPa. Hence (1.4/fy) will control only when fck is less
than 39 MPa. Thus for HSC, we should consider the
concrete strength also, while providing minimum tensile
reinforcement. It makes sense as HSC is normally brittle
than NSC. In this connection, note that IS: 13920, which
is used for detailing of structures subjected to seismic
forces, uses the following equation which is similar to
equation. (7c).5,6

The cylinder strength is assumed as equal to 0.8 times the cube strength.
Alternatively the ultimate flexural strength should be at least one third greater than the factored moment

Asv= Total cross sectional area of stirrup legs effective
in shear,
sv = Stirrup spacing along the length of the member
v= calculated nominal shear stress (Vu / bwd), MPa
c = design shear strength of concrete, MPa, and
Vs = Vu- Vc = (v-c)bwd
Vu = Applied shear force due to external loads
Vc = Shear strength provided by concrete
