Nominal Shear Stress Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

nominal_shear_stress = (Total design shear force/(0.8*Capacity reduction factor*Overall thickness of wall*Horizontal length of wall))
v_u = (V_u/(0.8*φ*h*l_w))
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Total design shear force - Total design shear force is a force applied perpendicular to a surface. (Measured in Newton)
Capacity reduction factor- The capacity reduction factor is a safety factor to account for uncertainties in material strength.
Overall thickness of wall - Overall thickness of wall quantify about wall thickness. (Measured in Meter)
Horizontal length of wall - Horizontal length of wall is the length in horizontal direction. (Measured in Meter)

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Total design shear force: 5 Newton --> 5 Newton No Conversion Required
Capacity reduction factor: 0.85 --> No Conversion Required
Overall thickness of wall: 2 Meter --> 2 Meter No Conversion Required
Horizontal length of wall: 3 Meter --> 3 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

v_u = (V_u/(0.8*φ*h*l_w)) --> (5/(0.8*0.85*2*3))

Evaluating ... ...

v_u = 1.22549019607843

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

1.22549019607843 Pascal -->1.22549019607843 Newton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

1.22549019607843 Newton per Square Meter <-- Nominal shear stress
