# Member Shear Results

How to read the shear design results reported for each concrete member.

Click **Concrete Design > Concrete Design Output > Member Shear Results** to open the *Member Shear Results* table.

![](https://3750289988-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlRZtG5Ynp58kYzLHYbR7%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-d07a759dcd671e7d078e201f87ad4e184d410f1a%2FMember%20shear%20results.jpg?alt=media)

This table reports shear design results for each member. Beam shear is based on the shear envelope, so results for specific load cases are not available.

**Member ID:** Lists the member number and indicates the section used for the member.

**Distance:** Reports incremental locations along the member, starting at the starting end and ending at the ending end.

**fc:** The compressive strength of concrete.

**fys:** The yield strength of the shear reinforcing.

**Stirrup/Tie Size:** The size of the stirrup or tie.

**Stirrup/Tie Legs:** The number of legs per stirrup or tie.

**Shear:** The design shear force to be resisted.

**Axial:** The design axial force.

**Stirrup/Tie Spacing:** The spacing of stirrups or ties.

**phiVc:** The shear strength of the concrete only.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.enercalc.com/e3d-training-manual/design/concrete-design/design-output/member-shear-results.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
