Concrete Edge Failure (Shear Load)

Question

Posted by Jesse Walshalmost 4 years ago

I have shear load in the Y-direction, but it appears that Section 4.3 (Concrete edge failure) is checking the shear capacity in the X-direction. Can you explain the ca1 and ca2 values being used in the attached design?
