Sometimes, one simplifies the criterion described in section II.1.10.25 by using the smallest shear allowable . This new criterion is referred to as “HoneyShear_b”.
As a single allowable is used, an equivalent shear stress can be defined:
(II.1.132) |
The failure index is then calculated as follows:
Core passes the failure criterion if the following condition is satisfied
The reserve factor is calculated as follows:
and the strength ratio is given by:
This criterion is referred to as “HoneyShear_b” in FeResPost.
