7.3.3 Shear Values According to Current Design Codes
and Failure Modes Discussion
7.3.3.1 Current Design Codes
Some authors like Pisanty [ 5 ], among others, claimed that the model proposed in
EC2 [ 3 ] to evaluate the uncracked shear capacity of prestressed elements overes-
timated the real ultimate strength. For this reason, the standard EN 1168+A2 [ 1 ]
proposes a reduction of shear resistance proposed by the EC2 [ 3 ] for regions
uncracked in bending by means of the reduction factor
ˆ
= 0.8 (see Table III.3).
