If nominal shear stress exceeds tau_c,max, the correct action is to:
Concrete Technology & RCCMaximum shearMEDIUM
Choose the correct answer
A
Ignore shear
B
Reduce cover only
C
Increase section size or grade/redesign
D
Provide unlimited stirrups only
Correct Answer
C. Increase section size or grade/redesign
Why is this the answer?
Concrete diagonal compression capacity limits shear; reinforcement cannot compensate beyond tau_c,max. Reference: Clause 40.2.3 | Page: verify from your official BIS copy/PDF pagination
