considered as unaffected for design. In <strong>the</strong> absence <strong>of</strong> more precise data, <strong>the</strong><br />

stress-strain relation with increased characteristic strength <strong>and</strong> strains may be<br />

Shear Failure<br />

The concrete compression field mechanism, shown in Figure 5.16, consists <strong>of</strong><br />

several compression struts that act with horizontal reinforcement to form a truss<br />

mechanism (<strong>of</strong>ten used for <strong>modelling</strong> shear in reinforced concrete beams). Shear<br />

is transferred horizontally from <strong>the</strong> beam into <strong>the</strong> compression field through bearing<br />

against <strong>the</strong> embedded steel column.<br />
