Longitudinal Reinforcing OK OK OK OK OK
Note: Longitudinal Reinforcing check can be ignored for typical multi-column bent caps. For straddle bents with no overhangs,
this check must be considered. Refer to LRFD 5.8.3.5 for further information.
If torsion is not being considered, leave last five rows of input data blank.

CONCRETE SECTION SHEAR CAPACITY BY AASHTO LRFD BRIDGE DESIGN SPECIFICATIONS, FOURTH EDITION,
Determine longitudinal tensile strain at middepth: (Mu not less than Vu*dv)
e x1 = (|Mu|/dv + 0.5Nu +0.5|Vueq-Vp|*cotq - Aps*fpo)/[2(EsAs+EpAps)] <= 0.001 (5.8.3.4.2-1)
If less than minimum transverse reinforcement. This is not allowed and is presented for information only
e x2 = (|Mu|/dv + 0.5Nu +0.5|Vueq-Vp|*cotq - Aps*fpo)/(EsAs+EpAps) (5.8.3.4.2-2)
If ex1 < 0 (compression) then:
e x3 = (|Mu|/dv + 0.5Nu +0.5|Vueq-Vp|*cotq - Aps*fpo)/[2(EcAc+EsAs+EpAps)] (5.8.3.4.2-3)
Find values of q and b as a function of concrete shear stress v and strain ex from Table 5.8.3.4.2-1
