![Concrete Slab Perpendicular Flexure & Shear Capacity Based on ACI 318-05 1 Concrete Slab Perpendicular Flexure Shear Capacity Based on ACI 318 05](https://excel.civilmdc.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/Concrete-Slab-Perpendicular-Flexure-Shear-Capacity-Based-on-ACI-318-05.png)
Shear strength of a slab that resists flexural forces in two orthogonal directions around a column (flat plates, footings and pile caps), is evaluated as the shear strength of a prism located at a distance of half the slab depth d from the faces of the column.
