Shear failure of reinforced concrete, more properly called “diagonal tension failure”

If a beam without properly designed shear reinforcement is overloaded to failure, shear collapse is likely to occur suddenlywith no advancewarning (brittle failure). Therefore, concrete must be provided by “special shear reinforcement” to insure flexural failure would occur before shear failure. In otherwords,wewant tomake sure that beam will fail in a ductile manner and in flexure not in shear. Please download this PowerPoint presentation file to see more details
