Abstract

The problem of shear strength in pre-stressed concrete beams is analogous to that in ordinary reinforced concrete, since there is very little difference between reinforced concrete and pre-stressed concrete beams in the cracked condition. Until very recently, the knowledge of the shear strength of reinforced concrete members and pre-stressed concrete members was wholly statistical. Developments in the last few years have advanced it to the semi-empirical level, ^5,6,7 but our knowledge of the effect that shear has on the ultimate strength of reinforced and pre-stressed concrete members is still far from complete.
