k = 1 + √ (200/d)
= 1.99 <= 2.0 Use: 2.0
ρ1 = Asl / bd
= 0.0028 <= 0.02 Use: 0.0028
Vrd,c = [ 0.12 k (100 ρ1 fck)^(1/3) ] bd
= 100850.3519 N
= 100.85 kN
V,min = [ 0.035 k^(3/2) √fck ] bd

= 113.40 kN

So, Vrd,c = 113.40 kN > Ved OK!

7.4 Deflection
Percentage of required tension reinforcement,
ρ = As,req / bd = 0.00097

Percentage of required compression reinforcement,

ρ' = As,req' / bd = 0

Reference reinforcement ratio,

ρo = (√fck)/1000 = 0.00566

Since ρ < ρo Use: Eq. 1

Eq. 1 l/d = K [11 + 1.5 √fck (ρo / ρ) + 3.2 √fck {((ρo / ρ) - 1)^(3/2)} ]

Eq. 2 l/d = K [11 + 1.5 √fck (ρo / (ρ-ρ')) + (1/12) (√fck) (√ρ'/ρ)
