| Abstract | Resistance of reinforced concrete beams to diagonal tension was studied in a series of papers which included beams without web reinforcement and beams with various types of web reinforcement. The magnitude of the loading causing the formation of initial diagonal tension cracks depended primarily on the dimensions of the cross section and on the strength of the concrete. The magnitude of the failure loads depended primarily on the dimensions of the cross section, on the amount of longitudinal reinforcement, on the amount of web reinforcement, on the strength of concrete, and on the length of shear span. Web reinforcement inclined at 45 deg to the axis of the beam is most effective in resisting the widening of the diagonal tension crack. The use of vertical stirrups and bent -up bars combined offers the most effective form of shear protection, and is strongly recommended. |
