shear failure is sudden and brittle failure. The failure is with diagonal cracks occuring some distance from the face of support.
on any given section shear and flexure occur at the same time( except point with either shear or moment is zero). The interaction of the two stresses, if the principle of stress transformation is followed, develop tension and shear at an angle different from 0 or 90°.
The diagonal tension resulting from interaction of shear and flexure is responsible for shear failure.
beams without shear reinforcement faile in one of the five modes:
☑️diagonal tension
☑️shear compression
☑️shear tension
☑️web crushing and
☑️arch rib failure.
The failure mode likely to occur depends on:
☑️moment to shear ratio( M/V),
☑️ type of loading(concentrated or distributed)
☑️beam cross section.
concrete without shear reinforcement resists shear by the contribution of:
☑️concrete uncracked section,
☑️aggregate interlock and
☑️due to dowel action of longitudinal reinforcement.
