    Critical Section for Shear in a RCC Cantilever Beam

    I kind of understand what you are saying, but I’m guessing the code specifies different critical sections for a reason. Also, wouldn’t it be more conservative to always take the higher shear value produced at the support location (for simply supported and cantilever beams) when designing the...

    Critical Section for Shear in RCC Cantilever Beam

    I understand that the crack formed would be at an angle. But, in which cases do we take the critical section to be at the face of the support? Also, wouldn’t it be more conservative to always take the higher shear value produced at the support location (for simply supported and cantilever beams)?

    Critical Section for Shear in a RCC Cantilever Beam

    Great! This makes sense now. Thank you.

    Critical Section for Shear in a RCC Cantilever Beam

    I’m still kind of confused. Say it was connected to a girder, would there still be a compressive force. I attached a picture from the code, and wouldn’t this case be similar to a RCC cantilever...

    Critical Section for Shear in a RCC Cantilever Beam

    Hello, I am working on designing a RCC cantilever beam and this is probably a very beginner's question but I am trying to understand where the critical section is for a RCC cantilever beam. Would it be at the face of the support because there is no compressive force from the support? I have...
