About this document
Shear Reinforcement Design for Beams by Akli Ale Man is a document available to read on EtoBox.
The document discusses the design of reinforced concrete beams for shear. It states that shear failure can be brittle and that the design must ensure the shear strength equals or exceeds the flexural strength. The real concern is diagonal tension from the combination of shear and longitudinal stresses. Shear reinforcement like stirrups is needed when the design shear exceeds the shear strength of the concrete to resist diagonal cracking. The reinforcement restricts crack growth and aids shear resistance thr
