What is it about?

How much minimum skin reinforcement is required in shear critical members like deep beams so that diagonal splitting failure can be prevented

Featured Image

Why is it important?

To protect shear critical concrete structural members against sudden failure of the web

Perspectives

Relevant in strut-and-tie modelling of non-flexural concrete members like deep beams, corbels etc
