← TechnologyWhich mechanism causes concrete beam shear failure when diagonal tension exceeds concrete tensile strength?
A)Formation of inclined cracks✓
B)Crushing of concrete in compression
C)Buckling of longitudinal reinforcement
D)Shear connectors losing capacity
💡 Explanation
When diagonal tension surpasses concrete's tensile limit, shear cracks form because the concrete's resistance is overwhelmed, initiating a sudden, inclined fracture. Therefore, inclined cracks result, rather than crushing, buckling, or connector failure, which involve exceeding compressive, stability, or bond limits respectively.
