Abstract
The paper deals with plastic methods applied to shear design of
reinforced concrete beams. Emphasis is put on the recently
developed crack sliding model applicable to non-shear reinforced
and lightly shear reinforced beams and slabs. The model, which is
an upper bound plasticity approach, takes into account the
mechanism of crack formation followed by crack sliding.
Comparisons between the model and test results are carried out.
Good agreement has been found over a wide range of cases.
