Members not requiring design shear reinforcement: the strength reduction factor ν
Eurocode 2 part 1-1: Design of concrete structures 6.2.2 (6)
The shear force VEd, calculated without reduction by β, should satisfy the condition:
| VEd ≤ 0,5 bw d ν fcd | (6.5) |
where ν is a strength reduction factor for concrete cracked in shear.
Recommendation
The recommended value of the strength reduction factor ν follows from:
 (fck in [MPa]) | (6.6N) |
