It should be the compressive strength as the formula of maximum shear strength tmax = 0.65 * (fَc) ^0.5 or 0.8 * (fَc) ^ 0.5.

It depends on Compressive strength. Allowable shear = 0.24(fck)^0.5.

Why not compressive strength?

Manish said:   9 years ago
I am convinced with you @Magda.

Because shear strength of concrete depends up on grade of concrete and % of steel. In that sense it should be the compressive strength.

Rik said:   7 years ago
Yes, correct @Manish.

Shashikant verma said:   7 years ago
Yes, the correct answer is compressive strength. I too agree.
