Shear Failure in RC Beams Explained by Francesco Cavagnis is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This paper presents a formal theory explaining the mechanism of diagonal shear failure in slender reinforced concrete (RC) beams without web reinforcement, identifying the type of concrete splitting responsible for such failures. A derived formula for shear stress at failure is validated against experimental data, highlighting the size effect on nominal shear strength. The study aims to provide a rigorous theoretical framework to better understand shear failure mechanisms in these beams, which has been inad
