When IS: 13920 is selected, does RCDC consider required rebar or provided rebar to calculate capacity (plastic) shear force (or moment capacity) for beam?

Yes. RCDC designs the beam shear as per Clause 6.3.3 of IS 13920 and consider the reinforcement provided to calculate the moment capacity. For more information refer Topic “Calculation of Ductile Shear” for beam from help Content.
