Shear force exists in ETABS, members passed after design check but the Area of Steel for shear is "0" in some stories. Any reason?

Assalaam o Alliakum Everyone, Lately I noticed my shear reinforcement value were very high. Then I noticed that ETABs is not considering the strength of concrete in its analysis. As per my understanding phi*Vc can never be zero because shear is first resisted by concrete and extra shear by the reinforcement then how come can phi*Vc be zero? Is my understanding flawed or there is an issue with ETABs or there is another variable at work? Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.

I am also having problem in understanding the results. I have attached here a picture of an elevation of a building with the shear reinforcement result generated by etabs. There are three values of shear reinforcement for each beam and 2 values(which are duplicates) for column. What do those values mean. For example one of the value is 594.34. So, how do i calculate what diameter stirrup to use use at what spacing. Similarly, shear reinforcement values are higher for the cantilever beams of balcony which i projected 4ft outwards. Are those normal values for 14ft by 10ft rooms. All beams are 9"x14" and all columns are the etabs model and bmp image of shear reinforcement results are attached herewith. chundevi madhyamik etabs.rar
