Diagonal tension cracks in concrete beam and in concrete shearwalls

Shear failure of reinforced concrete beam more properly called diagonal tension failure,is difficult to predict accurately. Inspite of many years of experimental research and the use of highly sophisticated computational tools,it is not fully understood. If a beam without properly designed for shear reinforcement is overloaded to failure,shear collapse is likely to occur suddenly.
