| Abstract: | Design Methods and Detailing for RC Beams with Inclined Shear Forces The shear‐resistant design of reinforced concrete (RC) beams with rectangular cross sections and inclined shear forces (biaxial shear) is presented. Equations for the shear resistances provided by the tensile strut and by the compressive strut are derived according to the design concepts of DIN 1045‐1 and EC 2. They are verified to experimental data and elaborated to gain design charts. Examples show the practical applications. Existing detailing provisions for the anchorage of stirrups and the horizontal displacement in the tensile force of the bending reinforcement can directly be applied to cases of biaxial shear, if the rotations of the neutral axis and of the resultant strut‐and‐tie system are taken into account. |
