MINIMUM SHEAR FORCE CHECK

Input design actions are not automatically increased if they are less than the specified
minimum actions. Minimum actions may be set in any load case. This check warns if the
shear force is less than the specified minimum (40 kN) for all load cases.
* Shear force exceeds specified minimum in at least one load case.
