Shear Tests Of Reinforced Concrete Beams

Excerpt from Shear Tests of Reinforced Concrete Beams In order to determine with sufficient certainty whether beams of rectangular cross section and long, slender beams would show web stresses and shearing strengths nearly the same as those for the beams tested it would be necessary to test such beams in considerable number. However, this question becomes unimportant practically, because rectangular or slender beams generally will fail by tension or compression in a longitudinal direction, with web stresses so low as to present no unusual problems of web reinforcement.
